    This Coyotes/Sabres game could singlehandedly turn back the game of hockey a decade. Woof. Canucks should be able to put the boots to the Sabres as long as we show up for the game.

     

    And in a shocking development, Loui is still slow and awful.

    It’s actually a good game. I’ve watched the whole game and both teams have had their chances. Buffalo is controlling play a little more but both teams are playing hard and the pace is fast. 

    Abbotsford Canucks Season Ticket Pricing Announced

    The median sale price of a home in Rochester is around US$170K, which is barely any higher than Utica and translates to under C$215k.  The average home in Abby costs nearly 4x that, plus the city's an hour drive from Vancouver, where the median home hovers around C$1.2M - C$1.3M, which is US$950K-$1.03M.  For comparison the median sale in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens in June 2021 was US$769K. 

     

    Pricing is all relative.  C$70 or US$55 can get you a good amount in Utica, but it wouldn't get you very far in NYC, where a single cocktail can set you back $25 after taxes and tips.  $10k is a lot to someone making $50k a year, and nothing to someone making $5M a year.  What we see as expensive or cheap is totally relative to what we make and what everything else costs.

     

    At the end of the day, NHL teams don't use AHL teams to make money.  Whatever profit or loss they rack up is a rounding error to a $725M franchise like the Canucks.  The ticket price has as much to do with what a business think people will pay as the actual cost of the product.  For example Ranger tickets often sell for more than twice that of the Devil's, even though MSG is a 30 minute drive from Prudential Center and I'm sure the Rangers don't spend twice as much on their team.  But you can find a lot more people willing to pay big bucks in Manhattan than in Newark, and that's why the ticket prices are set that way.

     

    Most importantly, US$55 is definitely a lot less than the cost of flying to Utica and buying a ticket to watch the Comets.  I'm sure most Canucks fans would rather have the option to spend $55 to watch a game, than watch on AHL TV but entertain the thoughts of $20 tickets.

    Whatever makes you feel better. You can quote all these big numbers, and I don’t believe them for one second.

    $875 USD = $25,000 CDN (actually, approx. $1,110 CDN, or $32 per game, which makes it 45% of what it will cost for an Abby Canucks game).

     

    Average house price in Utica: $154K USD / $194K CDN

    Average house price in Abby: $675K USD / $850K CDN

     

    Ticket prices are a bargain in Abby when comparing the cost of living between Utica and Abbotsford.

     

    @Comet Fan 0727: you'd probably be making 3x the money you are Utica in Abbotsford, so you'd probably have the disposable cash to pay $70 per game without blinking an eye.  Things are expensive in Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley, but everyone gets paid more for the same work that's done in other parts of North America (other than Greater Toronto, New York City (including parts of Long Island, Westchester County, White Plains, Fort Lee), Bay Area/Silcon Valley).

    You can spin it anyway you like, but it’s still a lot to pay for AHL hockey.  Do the same analysis for Rochester NY for home prices etc and get back to me.  Ticket prices there are pretty much the same as in Utica. 
     

    also time will tell if “paying $70 without blinking an eye” holds true.  Will be interesting to see the attendance numbers, especially in the middle of the year once the newness has worn off.

    To give comparisons and not trying to be a Dick, here is what I pay for Utica Comets tickets 5 rows behind the Comets penalty box.  $875 for the entire season per seat. Works out to about $25 per game. 
     

    Looks like the Canadian dollar, travel costs and lots of high priced veterans will impact the ticket prices. $70 per game…I would never pay that for AHL hockey.

    [Report] Canucks announce AHL club to relocate from Utica to Abbotsford

    in Prospects / Farm Team

    I just want to say this to the fans of the Vancouver Canucks. It has been a fun and adventure filled 8 years cheering for your team. I embraced the Comets and the Canucks when it was announced that we would be getting a team.  I spent a lot of late nights listening to Brandon Batchelor announce the games 3 time zones away. Lol

     

    We had quite a run year 2 going to the Calder Cup finals with Marky and Travis leading the way. 
     

    good luck and I will be rooting for the Nucks 3000 miles away!

    You are always such a troll. JT could easily be a # 1 center because of his tenacity and his ability to drive the play and score. But, that doesn't mean Elias is unworthy. I'm not sure why you even hang out on this board.

    I think he’s joking, but it was funny the first 2 or 3 times someone has said it. After 50 times it’s a little stale. I’m sure we will hear it another 50 or so times if the Nucks win tonight

    Nothing to see here. Let’s hope the early season struggles of no training camp, no practice time, whole bunch of new players etc put us behind the 8 ball.  Toronto I will give you, but Montreal?  No way do I concede that they make the playoffs?  Who have they beaten so far...Ottawa and us. They have 4 wins vs us when we could not have played any worse.  I can’t wait to play them again and get some sweet revenge. Let’s let the season play out.  I’m about to put some cash down now on the Nucks making it to the SC finals before their odds switch.

    I can dig what you guys are saying for the simple fact that he has Ian Clark. I wonder if the can switch at some point thought out the season is things go well. I know quarantining yatta yatta. Just a thought 

    I’m hearing that Mikey will be loaned out to a Canadian based AHL team so the Nucks get best of both worlds.  He gets to play in real games, and if an injury occurs to either Holtby or Demko, he can be recalled without 14 day quarantine

    What if the goalie is lying about his height?  :P

     

    Anyway, it doesn't really matter right now what his height is, the thing is that the young guy is on fire at the World Juniors.  He plays with emotion and skill and that's good.   He just won the player of the game against Canada as well as one of the top three players for Russia for the tournament.   I look forward to seeing him in a Canucks jersey as soon as possible.  

     

    Go Canucks Go!

    I agree 100%. I don’t care what his stat line is for the tournament....he plays a pro game and will just get better and stronger.  Just the type of player you want going into 7 game playoff series.
