I went to a Vancouver Canucks game yesterday! It was my first time buying a ticket from a scalper. It was really a spur of the moment kind of thing as my friend Lisa and I were downtown Vancouver and thinking of things to do. We checked out several scalpers just outside Rogers Arena but the offers were all too expensive. The best time to buy tickets is a few minutes before the game starts since it will be a sunk cost to them if they don’t get rid of them. We managed to get a very good deal and got upper bowl centre tickets for a reasonable price. The seats were pretty decent. The game we saw was against the Minnesota Wild. I thought the game would be a bit boring since Minnesota plays a defensive type game but it was actually fun and exciting. I think the drunk people sitting behind us helped make it excitig! Haha. The Canucks managed to win 3-2 in OT from Sami Salo’s slapshot. The best part of the game was when the drunk fan sitting behind us was critizing the Canucks play early in the game and blamed their poor play on Luongo, the goalie, even though he wasn’t even playing that game! Classic!
