Just checked and I can get 4 tickets to tomorrow's game against the Sharks in section 213, row A for $26 each. Those are on the goal line, though, but you can get section 202 row A (face off circle) for $41 each. And those are not the store coupon deals like the one from the liquor store.

so how the hell can they turn a profit and good ol' melnyk can't? is it all on broadcasting moneys?

Source? Is anyone suggesting that this team is profitable?

I was speaking about the sharks.

I was looking at Coyotes tickets -- the game was against the Sharks (i.e. not a mid-week tilt against the Devils).

Rumours of a sale abound...

"The NHL has approved the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes to a group of Canadian-led investors, but the deal is contingent on reaching a lease agreement with the city of Glendale, two people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press."

Ahhh, that damned lease agreement...

"The NHL agreed to sell the team to Renaissance Sports & Entertainment, a group headed by George Gosbee, Anthony LeBlanc and Daryl Jones, according to the people, who spoke Saturday on condition of anonymity because there had been no official announcement."

Make it 8...

i bet this falls thru. Garry B wants Quebec C to buy an expansion team. more money for everyone to go around.

If it falls through, chances are it will get moved... so Gary B wants this to stick.
