Checked out Ticketmaster this morning. The sides-red line to red line look like they're completely sold out! "Best Available" were $10 tickets were in section 105.
If you don't have tickets, you better get 'em now! I can't even begin to imagine what the walkup lines are going to look like.
Last season's Kelly Cup Finals in Dayton drew the following crowds:
Game 3-4045 Game 4-1971 Game 5-2223
Total: 8249 Finals Average: 2750 per game
Wouldn't it be something if the Cyclones outdrew the Bummers entire final series in one game?
The Bummers drew 21,691 for their 12 home playoff games last year. An average of 1808. Whooppee! We've drawn 25,994 in 8 games so far for an average of 3249. We could have nobody show up for the 4 possible finals games and still have a higher playoff attendance average than the Bummers did last season. We have already outdrawn their entire 12 post season games by 4303 in 4 fewer games.
Dayton's ONE game this playoff season drew an announced 1581. It was more like 600.

Okay Joe we got your point.We all have fun with Dayton but give it a rest.THEY made the finals before we did and we know attendance has been good but remember this-OURS would have been 2400 at $14 dollars a ticket.By the way,thanks Cincinnati and Hamilton County for squeezing $2 more on parking out of us and don't tell me it was for Taste of Cincinnati.
Here is a tip for you.....come to the tail-gate today. Yesterday we only paid $4.00 to park in the garage (nobody in the booth, auto pay at machine).
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Both the ticket line AND Will call sucked. I waited 20 minutes in the will call line only to discover my ticket rep left me 4 for Saturday. Now I get to wait in that line AGAIN! My advice... GET THERE EARLY!!!
Remember the old Gardens days.The Gardens had the tickets printed up and when you asked for two-you got the first two off the stack.How about printing out a block of 500 and set up a stand next to the east garage and sell them first come-first serve.If you want a certain seat you can walk around the building and go to the ticket booth in person.
I got tickets last night for todays game the 3 center ice sections on both sides were already sold out. I think I ended up with tickets in 126. Should be a good crowd tonight and hopefully people from the Taste come to the game.

Makes alot of sense. Combine that with a cash-only window or two and one would think that lines would diminish significantly.
BTW, Let me have fun with Dayton I enjoy it WAY 2 much.
On ticket pricing. The Cyclones may have stumbled on to a fairer market value of tickets than other teams. The fact that they own the building and get all concession revenue mitigates the price reduction. This pricing move-born of desperation-may prove to be the savior of hockey in Cincy.
Great move by Ray Haris and Company.
