I wonder if the idea of potentially letting people who have been vaccinated into games for free (or very cheap tickets) and relying on their concession purchases for revenue is something the NHL has discussed, or if it's even a viable option.
While unfair to actual NHL fans willing to buy tickets, it would likely allow teams to fill up their arenas in a much bigger capacity while hoping the concession revenue outweighs the value that a smaller, more limited capacity of socially distanced un-vaccinated fans would allow.
Maybe it even opens up an opportunity for the NHL to grow their fan base by having these people that have never been to or watched a hockey game to enjoy the experience for very cheap.
Just writing what was at the top of my head so don't roast me if it's a horrible one or not even viable.
