Most of you know that I'm a die hard Buffalo Sabres fan (and by "most" I mean all three of the readers of this blog).
This year I purchased a 6-game mini-pack for the regular season and then was offered first cracks at playoff tickets. Playoff tickets weren't cheap, they were almost double what they cost during last year's cinderella run. But I assumed that because the regular season was completely sold out, the playoffs would be an extremely hot ticket.
Boy was I wrong.
I guess everyone had the same idea as me and bought up a bunch of tickets with the hope of selling them off at a huge profit. Now I'm no economist, but I'm pretty this is what "supply and demand" refers to. There are so many god damn tickets for sale on eBay and craigslist that I've been lucky to sell off some of my games for face value. That combined with the old "wait and see" attitude the fans have embraced has really screwed me over.
But I guess I'm just as much to blame as everyone else. As I told DWS, if this Rangers series goes to a game 7 then I'd try to sell off my tickets. The high of advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals wouldn't be worth the risk of the horrible low of being eliminated by Jagr and the rest of this pseudo-Czech national team. The drive of shame back to Toronto would be far too painful. I'd end up drunk at some bar on Chippewa, puking my guts out into the shit-toilets.
