Memorial Cup ticket packages went on sale yesterday. One seat left in the lower bowl (Edit: zero now). Only a couple seats left at the $517.50 price level. This to me is interesting, as it shows that many people didn't care to specifically get the lower priced tickets in the upper bowl. I'd imagine the thought process is like "If I'm going to spend any money at all on a ticket package, I'm going to sit where I can see everything, and not have my view blocked".



Eventually the upper seats will probably be sold and there will be less seats available for single tickets. But this would suggest that even putting the price down for the upper bowl isn't a good enough draw for some people, because having your view somewhat blocked outweighs the cost benefit.



The Mooseheads, and the city of Halifax, should take note of this. Will Lacrosse fans be willing to shell out money for season tickets if they had to sit in row H or above in the upper bowl? We know the SBC has 10,595 seats. But that barrier of proper sightlines exists, and there is a definite cut off in the quality of the experience in row H and above.



I've been saying that the city of Halifax would need a tenant to the SBC that sells out every game before they would even entertain the option of a new rink. But I think the rink layout may severely hinder the Lacrosse team's chances of selling out every game, or getting more than 7000 season ticket holders.



This is probably a moot point, because I doubt the city has consideration for a new rink in mind as a capital project considering they are cutting back stuff already. I just found it interesting.

Look at that view of the entire upper bowl, there wasn't a bad seat in the venue in those days.







Bastards and their hacky and cheap approach to adding the sky boxes.
