Congrats on getting the Jets back.

Even though they may not be called the Jets, I'm happy about that. Damn though, I wish hockey tickets were as cheap here.

I too am glad that the Jets are back, even though the name may not be the same. They'd be silly not to keep the name though. Fans would be upset...

And I'm not sure what you mean by cheap?? Winnipeg will have the third highest average ticket prices, next to Toronto and Montreal.

Also, fans will have to sign a 5 year contract in order to get their seasons tickets, unlike any other organization in the NHL.

I don't have the numbers in front of me, but from what I saw on Sportsnet this morning, Winnipeg's cheapest tickets are on par with Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa at $39. The cheapest I could ever find in Vancouver available was over $100. No, not the worst seats, but still upper bowl, 4 rows from the back.

Sure, I know the $39 seats are gonna be tough to get, so that'll probably still leave the more expensive seats empty. But from what I saw this morning, I was left with the impression that tickets in Winnipeg are at most half price of what we're paying in Vancouver.

Sure, the seats may be cheaper, only because they're in Winnipeg. I'm not surprised that Vancouver's cheap seats are near 100, simply because that entire province is expensive.

I merely stated that "on average", the seats are the third highest priced.

Check out Vancouver's highest priced tickets compared to Winnipeg's highest priced. There will be an eye-opener for ya .

And yes, I agree. $39 seats will be scooped up like hot-cakes because they're the cheapest ones possible.

Are you going to any cup games there rigfixer?

No, not likely. Just for the hell of it, I checked game 1 prices. Under 200 single seats remain and not for under $450 each. The cheapest game 7 seat available costs over $1400.
