Well it’s the start of hockey playoffs after the fatcat owners of NHL teams held us fans hostage with a lockout for half a season and we notice something happening to the Canucks that, when we stop and think about it, shouldn’t come as that much of a surprise.
Relatively speaking, no one is buying the overpriced tickets for the Canucks playoff games. The team and it’s owner (what the hell’s his name Aquilini Zen or something??) are having to offer playoff tickets at (again relatively speaking) bargain basement prices due to lack of interest or demand.
Why is this not surprising? Because we BC’ers have already shown we’re more than capable of protesting what we feel is unacceptable. Just look at the HST fight. You can’t screw with us, we don’t roll over and beg like Ontarians and their ilk. Even our province’s wealthy elites, who are the only people these days who can afford NHL hockey tickets, a group not exactly noted for social protest, have shown their displeasure with their disinterest.
So go ahead Canucks front office, offer your tickets at half price. Who knows, we might even buy one or two. Or not. You've pissed us off!
