Yeah I know the Canucks haven’t been great this year. Putting up bad performances after bad performances. Outside of last year that was normal. However what wasn’t normal was the outrageous ticket prices. Before the Canucks were good last season you could go to a game sit in the upper bowl on a weekday for as cheap as $40. Oh what a time that was. No one was complaining either. It didn’t matter that they would get blown out, people were still having fun. Now it’s a bit different. The Canucks actually put on a good product on the ice last year and had one of the best home records in the league.
Fans were expecting the same thing this year. So ownership wanted to capitalize on this by shooting up ticket prices. So far the Canucks have the third worst home record in the league and fans are not happy. I’ve always said you don’t pay to watch your team win. You pay for the experience and your team winning is the bonus. Honestly, screw that I don’t want to spend $220 to see the Canucks get blown out by the Kings. That’s ridiculous. Especially with how they’ve played on home ice they are borderline unwatchable. Fans have every right to be outraged.

When I’ve gone to games this year or watched some on TV I can’t help but notice so many empty seats in the lower bowl. With how games have gone though, I completely get it. Even if the team was playing better I don’t think the jump in ticket prices was right. I get it from an ownership perspective ,but the team only had one good year. Is a $200 boast in ticket prices justified. Maybe I’m just annoyed with the team but I’d be less annoyed with the prices were cheaper. How about you?
