Based on where this thread has gone, noone knows of a place to get tickets for less than $17?


Buy the cheapest seats and move down. For christ sake they barely break 1k in attendance. You should be able to find a low seat with little to no effort. Either that or stop being such a cheapskate.

Support your Southern hockey! 17$ SEEMS A BIT STEEP FOR SINGLE "A" hockey though...Our QMJHL tickets average 13$ and is outside the AHL or NHL the best product out there IMHO of course

Well I guarantee you that the reason the Icegators are charging that much for tickets is because the cajundome sucks and charges out of the arse for rental. That is the main reason that the icegators folded the first time. They couldn't afford to keep up with the cajundomes rental fees after the crowds dwindled. The tickets were basically given away last year when they played in blackham and they still barely got 1k in there.

this is shitty shortsighted logic on the part of the Cajundome operators and owners firfuxsake how do they expect to grow the game if they wont be reasonable with rental fees?

Its not just the icegators they are like that with. That is why the cajundome rarely gets any regular concerts, shows etc. The only shite they have on the regular is crappy kids stuff.

$17 plus fees are the cheapest tickets. I've looked around and ECHL and AHL games are cheaper. I understand I may sound cheap, but I would easily pay that much for better quality hockey. I try to make one NHL game a year and have no problem paying like $75-$90 a ticket.

I'd even spend the $17 on the QMJHL, because I would know I would be seeing future stars... Not too many future stars skating in the SPHL these days. I'd like to catch a QMJHL in Quebec or something.

$17 is the cheapest you can get - but, just get there about 45 min before game time. There are numerous people selling tickets cheap or even giving them away. They are only avg about 1500 a game, so they just want warm fannies in the seats. Also, either drink or eat beforehand, because the Cajundome concession prices makes the Dome look cheap.

Frankly, I would save up and go to Dallas or Atlanta for an NHL game. The league that the Icegators now play in, the SPHL, is horrid and the team is one of the worse in that league. Even at $17, its just not a good way to spend 3 hours of your life.

I agree... Dallas is prob where it's gonna happen. Last year went to a Phoenix Coyotes game, and Avalanche game the year before... like I said before, trying for one a year.
