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.
