I think there was a promotion like we equal to CAN dollars to the US dollars when you buy tickets (since the canadian border is near). Unless what I heard is false (but I read this from a few differents posters), they always had big trouble to sell out their tickets.

Plus you can deny the facts that they don't have the companies support like we do here in Montreal (border ads, corporative loges who are ULTRA expensive and more).

That's just not true sans the corporate part.

Briere and Dumont were not given those salaries by the Sabres. Arbitrators awarded those two players those salaries. That does not compare at all to what you shelled out for Kovalev and Samsonov. No camparison AT ALL.

What does that have to do with their ticket prices...Buffalo's inability to sell tickets has no bearing on how much they sell them for. Buffalo ticket prices range from $19 for standing room to highend of $179 per. No difference from Habs tickets except Buffalo is in US dollars.
