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.
