So the lottery ticket price didn't change because it was a Canadian game, it was the same as the other games - I believe $35 each for upper bowl (or maybe $50).
Now after market was a different story as I could have sold my tickets on the street for higher. Heck, some guy even offered me money for the Finnish scarf I was wearing.  |
This was the same for me in 2010 - you’re not buying for specific teams, you’re buying games, right through the final. Obviously after market is different, but you’ll pay way more. Initially, all teams games cost the same, regardless of country.
