On Stub Hub today the cheapest ticket for a game in Vancouver is $1600, in Boston they start at $550. Not an economics major, but I’m pretty sure those prices are not even close to the same.

$3000 and pair vs. $1000 a pair is a big difference…

Im sure the other teams dealt with the same prices. Stop making excuses.

While the crowd at Rodgers arena gets loud at the right times, the noice has not been sustained. The single biggest reason for that is the types of fans at the game. At over $1000 a seat in the lower bowl, and the cheapest seat north of $500, it’s not your rank and file Canucks fan going to the game. It’s heavily corporate and let’s face it the 40 year old businessman with a client is not going to be nearly as rowdy at a game as a group of 25 year olds having beers.

Now if you want to hear some real noise, put a reader on the outside of the CBC building where 20,000+ real fans watch the game…I guarantee those numbers crush the stadium levels…

It would be interesting to see what the sound levels are like within different parts of the stadium. Is it louder at the top or near the ice? We definitely see different fan types sitting in different sections when they rate their seats on RateYourSeats.com so it would be interesting to see if the noise levels were different as well.
