It's a good thing the Flames have played some exciting hockey and are 4-0 at home this playoffs. The team seems to have priced the tickets right at the brink of what the market will bear. After the two ugly losses in Anaheim, they didn't quite sell out the dome last night and the high price of tickets was the main reason why. Round 2 playoff tickets are 2.5 - 3 times regular season face value. Combine that with a local recession in the energy industry and it's not surprising folks aren't lining up to pay that kind of money.
