From George Richards of the Miami Herald:

The big news is that the Panthers are raising single game prices. To a select number of games, the price hike is pretty substantial.

Like the price of premium gas, tickets to ‘premium’ hockey games in South Florida is skyrocketing. The Panthers plan to add $25 PER SEAT to games they deem ‘high demand.’ By my estimates, that is probably about five games a year. But, be sure, the Panthers will consider quite a few games ‘high demand’ whether they are or not.

Want to go to Opening Night but don’t want to plunk down the big bucks and commit to a season ticket? Add $25 bucks to your ticket. Want to see the Rangers? The Canadiens? If the Canucks come down, wanna see Louie? Cough up the dough pal.

Another miscalculation by another NHL franchise. This team can hardly draw any fans to their games and now they are going to raise tickets to the few games people actually want to pay to see. If I were a hockey fan in Florida (let me tell you, there aren’t many), I would skip these games because of the price hike and hit the beach.

The NHL has enough problems selling the game in the southern US, they don’t need to be adding to their problems with moves like this.
