Nashville wants to "keep the red out"

[BlackHawkPaul]

If you want to see a Blackhawks game in Nashville, you better get ready to pay double.</p>


 </p>


Meaning: Pay for 2 games.

Yep, that's right.  You are "forced" to buy 2 games if you're not from the Nashville area.</p>


 </p>


Pretty dumb.</p>

Not a dig at BHP, but I call shenanigans. Too many holes in too many areas.</p>

Also posted from the Super Fan Nashville site.</p>

I just called Nashville ticket office, tickets for Nov 16 are not on sale yet, but the agent was unaware of any such plan.</p>

 

[BlackHawkPaul]

I was wondering the same thing.

Oh well, if it's fake then it got me.</p>

No way can they manage to do that.  Not to mention tickets will be on Stub Hub for face as well.  For single games.</p>

 

[The Count Dante]

I cant say one way or the other, past calling the arena.</p>


 </p>


It just cant be enforced. And really, the only reason I even would say or comment is that the only arena I have been to more than UC is Bridgestone in NSH.</p>


 </p>


I have also had awesome experiences with NSH fans... My favorite being when it was VAN v NSH and I wore Hawks colors. Fans got it right away... Enemy of my Enemy.</p>

The section303 site has been 404'd too. Probably just a dumb onion type article to see how much pub the site can scare up. Why would Nashville worry about selling out a game?</p>

 

[WiHawksFan]

So just buy tickets for the two games and sell one game on stubhub....problem solved. Or do what RK said.</p>


 </p>


This is stupid regardless.</p>

What's the connection with Red Wing fans and Nashville anyway? There must be a lot of them down there if Nashville is accepting Red Wing sweaters for half off Nashville ones.</p>

As i understand it, it is more like a car dealership saying that you can X amount of trade-in no matter what the condition.</p>


 </p>


In some of these smaller markets, I have seen like buy 1 get 1 free stuffs. Collectiong Wings jerseys would just be more...fun.</p>

One of the big 3 car companies moved a bunch of operations to the area.  Maybe it was GM.</p>


There are a lot of Detroit transplants around NSH.</p>

 

[MassHavoc]

Did we find anything more on this? Rosenboob picked it up and made a video I didn't watched, but this to me is confirmation that it's stupid and fake.</p>

No, you're forced to buy 2 even if you are from the area, at least according to that article, if you aren't already a season ticket holder.  It's just a money grab using the allure of the Blackhawks. So no matter what those tickets will be sold along with another a ticket. Whether or not it's a Hawks fan doing it or a Predators fan doing  it and then putting it up on Stub Hub, doesn't really matter to them, it's that those tickets for that "lesser" game are now guaranteed to be sold and they'll have gained that money which they may not have before. Even if that ticket just gets thrown away. This isn't really about keeping Chicago fans away, of course they know they can't really affect that. Its just a nice way to spin it to people in order to make some more money.</p>

It was all over twitter. so it must be true, right?</p>

 

[The Count Dante]

Well, it looks accurate? But it isnt geographical. Looks like anyone without a ticket plan.</p>

Keep the red out...


... I hope all the native Americans start a "keep the hicks out" campaign at their unregulated casinos in Tennessee.

 

[R K]

I think Blackhawk fans should make it as difficult as possible for ANY Pred fans deciding to come to the United Center for a game.</p>


 </p>


Turn around is fair play...</p>

All that effort to keep out 8 people.</p>

 

[R K]

I would think $150 on stubhub for craptasitic seats would be enough right?</p>
