NHL ticket sales

Christy from Behind the Jersey has a interesting read on which NHL teams have waiting lists for tickets. It just so happens that the Caps have seats available, so if you havent already, go buy a ticket plan and get your butt in a seat at the VC. The beers are on me.

Only ten of the 30 teams have a waiting list. Five of the six Canadian teams have season ticket waiting lists. The Ottawa Senators are the only team without a waiting list, which is surprising since they just made a trip to the SCF. The other four teams are the Detroit Red Wings, Buffalo Sabres, Pittsburgh Penguins, Minnesota Wild, and the NY Rangers.

Interestingly enough for me, all the ten teams with waiting lists are in cooler climates and either in or close to Canada. These teams are in solid hockey markets and it only helps their ticket sales when the team is actually a playoff contender.
