Icebowl "sells out" in minutes

by Steve
After trying to get the best seat for the best value, it blew up in my face as I clicked return to event at 10:07 to get different tickets than the 4 I had lined up. By 10:09 there wasn't a pair to be had in the building. So I settled on a single ticket for now. This is weaksauce times 10. Gary Bettman and the NHL fucked this up royal and screwed over the Sabres fans in the process.

Allowing "ticket brokers" and cock smokes lookin to make a quick buck to buy 50 tickets together in 1 pop is ridiculous. The tickets will be going for double triple or more on stub hub and ebay and the NHL is left with only the original money. What is the point, what was the rationale behind allowing people to buy 50 seats together at one time?

Furthermore why were Blue Jays Penguins and Maple Leafs fans allowed secret codes to buy tickets?? The codes "sundin" "jays" and "crosby" reportedly worked for people from those areas to buy tickets. This is BS to enth degree, I'm about to kill someone.

Whats worse is there are rumros floating around that tickets were withheld for some reason. WTF?! I king of believe it because there seems nearly 0 chance that 74,000 -14,500 sabres season ticket holders left about 60,000 seats to sell out in 16 minutes when at 10:16 not even single seats were available?

What can't Gary Bettman screw up?

UPDATE
42,000 tickets were sold today. the Sabres and the NHL don't even know how many tickets season ticket holders can buy and they won't know until the 28th. holy shit the nhl is lost. no one cares about the fans
