Ticket prices at the Bell Centre have dropped significantly

The vast majority of Montreal Canadiens fans never expected to see their club in the playoffs this season.

The Tricolore proved it could be more than just “in the mix” with a very fine end to the season.

It was to be expected that the price of a ticket to the Bell Centre for the series against the Capitals would be very high.

And indeed, when I looked up the price of a ticket in the pit on Ticketmaster as soon as the tickets went on sale, it cost around $450 to be in the 400s…

And that’s understandable, because the excitement of seeing the CH in the playoffs is very high, especially with the surprise arrival of Demidov at the end of the season.

On the other hand, after losing the first two games of the series in Washington, ticket prices have dropped sharply.

By way of comparison, currently on Ticketmaster, the cheapest tickets for game #3 are just over $300 in the pit.

And I’ve also taken the opportunity to store around for prices on Billets.ca right now, but they’re a little more expensive than Ticketmaster (starting at $349).

Still, there’s a big drop in price for a ticket.

Jean Trudel has seen tickets for sale on Facebook at good prices.

On the other hand, looking at prices on Ticketmaster, tickets may be slightly cheaper. Well, obviously, it depends on the view and the precise location of the seats chosen. The ones on sale in the post above seem to have a very nice view, even if they’re “in the pit”.

With a win tomorrow (Friday) in the first game of the series at the Bell Centre, expect prices to skyrocket, possibly to the starting price at the very beginning.

Whether it’s $450 or $350, that’s still a pretty hefty price for a ticket in the 400s, and that doesn’t include food, drinks, parking and so on.
