    I can see it ... I heard they could get 1.4 billion expansion fee by adding 4 teams, that's a lot of $$$.

    Rumour NHL set to expand again...

    NHL expansion to include Toronto, Quebec City, Seattle and Las Vegas: Report

    http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/2014/08/26/21900441.html

    4 teams???? That seems a bit extreme.
    Im guessing that the reality is Las Vegas and Seattle are both on the short track now to be expanded to.

    In addition, the Miami situation is looking bleaker and bleaker, so Quebec City is likely going to end up with that franchise.

    Likewise in Glendale. If things go south with the new owner, the public, and fans, I could see them getting moved to Toronto or KC, I would think KC more likely if there is an owner
    Yes, this is pretty good thinking here. Seattle and Vegas no doubt.

    that also contributes to the current uneven conferences...

    I was/am pretty sure that those conferences were designed for 2 plug and play Western expansion teams.

    StubHub if you are willing to overpay. Would go broke using it all of the time but for a handful of events where I want to be certain I enjoy buying in advance on the Hub.

    Damn near $100 for each seat in lower bowl for when the Kings come to town. Hockey is expensive.

    Being by a "lower market team is great" I can usually get upper level tix for most games under $15, unless it's like det, bos, pitt, etc...
    I can't even park at the United Center for under $15. Prices for Hawks games are insane....you aren't getting in the building for anything less than $70-75 for most games unless you want standing room. And even those are $40-50. Still kicking myself in the ass that I didn't go in with my 2 buddies on season tickets 5 years ago.
    Yeah that blows, they upped the parking on us last year from 10 to 15 and a lot of ppl threw a fit, guess we should just count ourselves lucky we don't have to pay higher market prices.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    out of those 4 cities, i don't see the NHL moving teams to Toronto and quebec city. the NHL would get more money from those cities for new teams. out of those 4 cities only 2 have nhl rinks lined up and that is in Quebec and also Vegas. from what i heard today on TSN was that KC is not even in the picture anymore.

    to be fair though, NYC and Toronto are jacked up price-wise anyway. For everything.

    baseball tickets are still cheap here and so is basketball.

    In NYC? I have been lucky enough to go all over this great country of ours and attend games in a large number of the parks. Yankees tickets are some of the most overprices items in all of the land.
    Scratch that -- in my opinion they are. The new stadium is not to my liking and getting tanked there costs an additional fortune.

    I dont pay for basketball games so I dont know there. Have been to many but haven't paid for years.

    Hockey rules (only college football is more fun live in my opinion) but it sure is pricey. Wish everywhere had the Sabres pricing that was shared!

    adding 4 new teams is stupid. get the teams out of phoenix and the florida teams and move them before adding 4 teams. the talent level now is not good enough and you are going to add another 100 players or so. absurd. and i can't believe the Leafs would allow another team in Toronto.

    Trying to either get tix to the Winter Classic or the All-Star Game. I really hate the way sports teams handle these special events. Why should I have to be a Caps season ticket holder in order to even have a chance to buy Winter Classic tickets? I mean, the Verizon Center only holds 19k and not all of those are season ticket holders. Nationals Park holds 40k. Why not open it up to the general public??? And it's not just hockey, either. A buddy of mine is a huge Orioles fan and he can't get tickets to the playoffs unless he puts a deposit on 2015 season tickets. It's complete bullshit. Let the people that want to pay and go to the game do just that!
    Instead, you have to wait for the season tickets holders to buy up all the special event tickets, then shell out 3-10x face value on the secondary market. Reminds me of Pearl Jam merch.

    I actually agree that Season Ticket Holders should have first shot. That said, I have never owned Season Tickets...much as I love sports going to every game is just more than I can do.
    Really excited to get the season going, we need to change this to the 2014 Regular Season Thread so that the Kings can get to defending the crown! ;)

    Anyone else see that renewing Kings season ticket holders got a vial of melted ice from the cup game, pretty cool.
