Ticketmaster scalpers are reportedly hiking up the cost of the Johnny Gaudreau memorial game in Calgary on Dec 3rd
Johnny and his brother Matthew were struck by a vehicle near their home in Salem County, New Jersey, on Thursday night. Unfortunately, both Johnny and Matthew passed away as a result of the accident.
According Blade of Steel, a fan account on X the presale for the Calgary Flames versus Columbus Blue Jackets game on December 3rd is already sold out. However, not only is it sold out, the prices of the tickets have been marked up through the roof and tickets have reappeared at outrageous prices.
Ticketmaster is notorious for letting resellers buy and mark up the prices of their tickets taking them out of the hand of real fans. This is no different. The cheapest tickets you can find according to the post above are $170.40 at the press level, which is ridiculous.
These scalpers are exploiting the tragic passing of Johnny Gaudreau by driving the cost of admission through the roof. Ticketmaster, who already has a bad reputation, is currently in the hot seat yet again for letting this happen.
