sangheraent Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 how many people saw this on the news? I happened to be downtown vancouver at the time and I can honestly say it was very interesting. I think for every 100 people actually rioting there was 1000 spectators. very few people were rioting A TON of people were watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Shee Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 why is the cops fault that they lost the game??? the officers should start shooting them dumb asses. that would probably clear them out and calm them down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandmanPNW Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Well at least the people of the city went out and cleaned the mess up. Alot more than some can say.......................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Cal Suspension Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Although, imagine their frustration. The ONLY thing Canada has that they can be proud of, is Hockey, and they got demolished by a team of Yanks. I'd be pissed too when I realized the only leg I had to stand on, was just ripped out from underneath me. Relax Canadians, it was a joke... ...Sort of...

So Cal Suspension Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 But they don't even have their own league, do they? I would think a county that prides itself on being second place would have their own league, and not have to ride our coat tails... Again, kidding Canadians.... ...sort of, again...

sangheraent Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 in all seriousness only a few people were actually rioting the rest were just watching. its funny because we have the highest ticket prices out of any city. No not the price the canucks charge at the box office, the price people actually pay to go in the door. MAJORITY of tickets are owned by season ticket holders who pay 10k+ per seat. Can you afford this? these people sell their seats at a premium a high premium so to get in your paying 50% higher then the actual seat price. in playoff times all of the tickets mysteriously are sold by ticket scalping companies. (weird, how did they get so many tickets when there is a 4 seat MAXIMUM?) jerseys when the team is doing good cost about $160 bucks, more if you want some player's name on it. so to watch a canucks game in vancouver here is the cost of your night: Tickets lower bowl medium seats: 150 a seat (but your taking your wife who you love) $300 parking: (generally its $5-8 canucks games parking is $25-30. $25 gas: you dont live downtown because your not extremely wealthy or want to live in a shoebox $20 your wife wants a jersey with her favorite player you agree because you want sex later $210 you get hungry during the second period you get yourself and the wife a hot dog $15 your wife is tired from work and wants to have a few beers $7.5 x 3 each $45 total: $615 for 1 REGULAR season game. $600 would be playoff ticket price. IF you loved your team enough to pay that much to watch 1 game wouldn't you be pissed when they lose? Rioting is pretty shitty and it made us look bad, however most people were pissed off they keep getting gauged by our team that never wins. BUT the people who got gauged were NOT the people rioting.
