Likewise, ticket prices. When demand is high, prices go up. Lower demand has the reverse effect. Of note in Ottawa, the majority of their upper bowl for tomorrow night's game vs the Devils is $40 or less with a pile of tickets - including entire rows - priced at $27. Troubling for Ottawa: even those aren't close to selling out. Looks like the Sens are royally taking advantage of Leaf fans on Saturday though. The same seats are listed at 3-4x as much. And that game is still nearly a sell-out.

I understand supply and demand curves, thanks, but I am going to go out on a limb and suggest that, if it wasn't included in HRR, beer prices wouldn't be $10.25
