Price gouging for opening night tickets

I'm sure if they properly marketed Anze's sweat, in a keepsake bottle, it would sell out in a heartbeat.

Surprised that Luc's quote hasn't been brought up regarding a ticket price increase a few seasons ago.

Paraphrase:
"We are raising prices now so you wont be shocked when they really go up when we are good. "

I just realized, with the recent pics we've seen of the rafters, we're less likely to see a banner raising and more likely to see a banner unfurling.

How much you wanna bet that's what they do?

In looking at the DVR of the practice... I think the "unfurling" will be the retired jerseys and the existing Kings banners that currently reside on the wall. I think the Championship Banner will be raised... just my .02

Forgot about that one!

Just looked up the actual quote from the LA Times: Kings to raise some ticket prices - Los Angeles Times

I wonder if back then he would have considered $150 to sit up in the nose bleeds an unfair "stupid price."
