Are you a lifetime smoker, but just don't understand how you could have possibly been reduced to breathing through a tube?

So two season tickets for the NHL team will run somewhere between $1640 (nosebleed seats) to $18,000 (center ice) per season. If you want good seats you have to make at least a 3 year commitment. I might just wait until the team tanks and they start offering two tickets and two hot dogs for $10 just to get people in the doors.
UNLV plays around 15 home games (that's exact for this year). The NHL has an 82 game season, and those season ticket figures will net you tickets to 41 home games, which is nearly three times as many games as you get with Rebel's tickets.

Good plan 10:22. NHL hockey is great to watch live; but it will only hold the interest of Las Vegans for one, maybe two season.
That's my plan too. But, because most people look at it that way, we probably won't get the team to begin with.
Wow, these are more Rebel Basketball season tix! WTH??

Sounds like I'll be able to pick some tickets off on stub hub!
