Road Trip!

Drew from Illegal Curve found out the sad truth of Carolina hockey, and it was at a Durham Bulls game:

I sauntered over to find, unmanned and unmonitored I remind you, a table filled with “Buy one ticket, get one ticket free coupons” for Carolina Hurricanes hockey games.

Normally, a little cross-promotion for some of those early season stinkers wouldn’t be so bad, except that’s not what this was:

Limit 8 tickets per person.

The kicker: No one monitoring the table where these are being distributed. An individual could have picked up hundreds of these coupons.

…

The majority of the arena applies to this promo. Only exceptions are the “Champion’s Club”, “V.I.P. Ledge”, and “Upper Goal Zone”.

I’d worry about a “V.I.P. Ledge” to be honest, wouldn’t your drunker fans fall off?  But seriously, as I mentioned, these tickets were for games against the Blue Jackets or Kings, with opponents including the Washington Ovechkins, Anaheim and New Jersey.  I think I’m honored that none of the Sabres games were included.  Guess they know what fans will REALLY fill the seats.  H/T to Puck Daddy.
