I was talking to a friend who plays in a local beer league, and some of them are actually planning to go to the WCoH because apparently tickets for some of the less popular games are going for like $10-20 a pop. Does anyone know why this is? I kind of gave up on the idea of going because I assumed that all of the tickets would be going for full-price because of how hockey-crazy Toronto is, but this news is giving me ideas.

Why the games are less popular? The World Cup of Hockey isn't a big tourist draw that people from around the world are traveling to. Most locals are going to cheer for Team Canada or Team North America and want to watch those games.

They want to actually fill the seats. No one is going to pay what they'd pay to see a Canada vs. US game to watch Team NA vs. Team Europe.

Interesting. I was under the impression that ticket sales were down because so far they'd only released the stupid expensive multi-game packages and those weren't selling well. I hadn't looked to see if they've released individual games yet.

I think the "official" ticket site that's linked on the WCoH site is still only selling half-packs of tickets, but all the resell sites have individual games now. The cheapest I've seen is for the Czech vs. Europe game for $10, but most of them are significantly more.

sa

update: well, friends, guess who's spending a couple days in Toronto?

(does anyone ever do IRL meetups on this meme? I know FFA has them sometimes, but given hockey fandom's issues I wasn't sure if that was a thing people did here.)
