Considering they didn't sell out the goddamn Grey Cup and tickets were cheaper for that...

Yeah, I was going to fly home for this one, but that is damn near how much my flight would cost. I think I will watch it on the teevee and keep the thousand bucks in my jeans.

I saw the Ducks/Kings at Dodger stadium a few years ago, and it was a really great experience...but the game is lacking when you are at that distance. I figure this might be more engaging if the weather is cooler.

That and the level of crowd enthusiasm will be on an entirely different planet than in LA...

I thought they would be even more expensive. I'll be there for both games.

The grey cup is not the Heritage Classic and their team was not even close to contending for it. This will sell out in all likelihood but it might take some time.

It sold out a couple days before the game. Tickets were about the same price. My seats were $500 a piece and they were lower bowl, but not the more expensive club seats.

The CFL set those prices and the NHL sets these.

I've been in the Peg walking around outside at -40°- 50°... Not a problem if you keep moving and are bundled up... Key is having proper shoe and glove insulation

I'll be flying back and bringing friends out for this one! hope season ticket holders get a shot at more than just 2 seats each as I know they weren't included in the season ticket prices for this season but the option to buy was.

You're not comparing the Jets to a CFL game with two teams nobody in the area gives two (frank)s about, are you

October is a great month to stage this - hopefully they can keep the ice in good condition

Hope everyone has fun at the game - those prices are f_*king ridiculous
