Canucks tickets were available right up until puck drop for the first round. Some people in the 300 sections were even being upgraded to lower bowl seats with no added charges.

Nice nice same tickets for me as well since the phone lines were jammed at 11:30pm, so I missed out on $155 tickets

I agree.

The price marks they set for this year's playoffs are quite high and I think some season ticket holders felt pissed off and didn't end up buying their seats for some playoffs games. With that being said, they still sold out all games for the first round in terms of tickets sold, but this did not transfer into actual people in the seats as you could see a lot of empty seats in the first 3 home games.

The price increase for season ticket holders were negligible. They are pretty much half price from ticket master so I don't think anyone was really complaining.

Round 1 for Season Ticket holders for upper bowl started at $74 and I think Round 2 is $8x. I know I wouldn't complain lol!

It doesn't help when a whole crapload of lower bowl tickets were given away to the IOC FOR FREE

After the trade deadline the roster size limit goes from 23 to 50 players. As long as the player is eligible and signed to a NHL contract you can call them up. The moose are out of playoffs so they are bringing up some players so they can feel the playoff atmosphere and if they need them they are already called up. It's more so he can get the experience not because they think they'll need Schneider.
