To be fair, $184 is face value so I can’t imagine they would slash prices AND throw in free unlimited food.

A better strategy would be to buy the PL seats ($49 each) and then get re-sale tickets elsewhere (assuming you didn’t want to sit in the PL). Or better yet, just park yourself on the concourse and start throwing down cheeseburgers and malts until you’re ready to pass out. Then roll yourself into one of the hundreds of empty seats by the second intermission and then fall asleep by the start of the third.

PS I’m still hoping a brave CPer will take this on and report back with the outcome. I’ll set the bar at 4 burgers, 3 nachos, 2 malts and a Diet Coke to wash it down

I was at the ~sixth last game at the Montreal Forum, Habs vs Flames. Because it was one of the last nights, all food was $1. There were hot dogs and burgers flying around, aimed at Flames fans. I can't see this going any different.

It'll be a lot different. The Flames left their best customers the season ticket holders out of the loop on this one.

My concern would be the lifetime ban after consuming nacho cheese by the gallon.

They did mention at the last season ticket holder event that I went to that the happy hour pricing was working well for them and they were looking at more "outside the box" type stuff. I assume this is one of them. I also assume we see this make its way into the regular season games. The pricing does feel a touch high. I can't think of the last time I could eat $50 worth of stadium food. It's overpriced, but that'd be like having a full meal each period.

How long after the game is over do you think they'll force me to leave if I'm not done eating yet?

Glad to see the team is onboard with all the hip, latest trends like happy hour and all you can eat. Can’t wait to see what the outside the box thinking blue sky solutioneers at CSEC come up with next.
