Thats got to piss off the owners of the Canadian teams that are supporting there Asses! .....but remember it's the NHL that owns the team, so the Canadian owners have to HATE the idea of hockey in the desert !

I don't know. To me, it looks like they are absolutely desperate to clear these tickets out. Perhaps there is a reason why, other than being in a Go Jets Go market, they are doing this. .....desperate is right, because empty seats look gawd awful when the game is televised..... and makes everyone at this site chuckle at that sight....

The kicker is that you can buy parking passes for Coyotes games on the Vivid website for $2 a pop... 2 tickets and a parking pass for $16. Good luck with that, Hulzy

More like you can squat in a 3,000 sq/ft mansion that's been foreclosed on (better yet, why not just buy it for $75,000)...

Yes, exactly. But why you would bother selling your tix for 2$ is beyond me. Because you got them for free. Get 500 tickets, sell them each for $2 and make a nice sum of money. I remember I was in Tampa last season and was chatting with a guy the day after a Lightning game. I asked him if he went to the game and he said that his mom works for the team and gave him 20 tickets for free. they were giving away 2 playoff tickets in tampa against the flames a couple years ago when you buy a large pizza at some joint there.

So you can pay about $300 to see the Leafs suck for one game, or get season tickets to the Coyotes (Atlanta, Florida, etc) at $7 game for the same price. I will never understand how this league works.

Maybe their marketing and ticket sales group is getting out there with cheap tickets now as it could be any day they announce it's over in Arizona. They don't want to be stuck selling tickets to a lame duck franchise IF the team is sold to TNSE.

Good luck with that, Hulzy Thus the need for Glendale to pay him $17 million per year in management fees. He'll need that and more to keep ticket prices low enough to keep the few fans that make up the announced attendance....

they can't give tickets away in Phoenix....they just want people there so they will buy consessions...7 bucks for a NHL game in Phoenix we pay 30 in winnipeg for the AHL...our cheap seats are 23 bucks plus taxes...and it's the minors...not that i am dissing the Moose it's the top level before the NHL but come on salaries are 50 000 compared to a million in the NHL...

You can get tickets for like $2-3 for the Panthers, and here in New Jersey you can get tickets on that same website for literally $1-2 for the Nets. I bet with those ticket prices someone who worked at McDonald's could probably afford season tickets.

Well no. This isn't the coyotes selling tickets for $7. This is a ticket holder who has a ticket selling their ticket for $7. It has ZERO to do with the coyotes wanting people to come for concessions. If you want to know what Coyotes sell tickets for go to ticketmaster and compare those prices to Moose ticket prices. I've been to many Moose games and every time got free tickets so this is no different than that.

I've been to many Moose games and every time got free tickets so this is no different than that. Look at stubhub prices for Canadian and traditional US markets. More often than not you pay a premium over face value. Phoenix is the extreme opposite - no one wants to go, so tickets are practically given away by their owners. Pretty clear illustration of supply and demand, if you ask me. And as for Moose tickets, who gave you free tickets? I'm guessing that they didn't come from total strangers. Those of us without hookups generally have to pay full price.
