Prague tickets to go on sale soon

March
16

While you continue to fret over the Rangers most recent performance, a somewhat unrelated update:

A number of you have contacted me about tickets for the Rangers’ two-game set in Prague next fall. Thanks to Zdenek Janda, a reporter from the Daily Sport in Prague who was kind enough to get back to me on this, we know that tickets for the two games will go on sale in mid-April.

They’ll run between $124-$550, and there’ll be about 8,500 available to the generabl public (with the other half going to NHL execs, VIPs and others).

Of course the next big question is how people go about buying those tickets. More on that when I have it, but I figured I’d pass along what I have.

    Caps beat the Bruins in shootous. So we’ve got another wonderful three point game. Buttman must be creaming himself.

    A friend of mine ran into Girardi today in Westchester… When my friend asked him what the hell happened the last two games he said “We left our legs in NY”.

    Thought that was very accurate.

    I hope they find them.

  3. Cliff says:

    Can we send Backman, Strudwick and Malik to Prague early (like now) to scope things out?

    Sam,

    Thanks for working some Czech into your blog posting: “generabl”

    Cliff,
    You know what? Watching last night’s game made me long for the days when Malik would (generally) start the rush up ice for the Jagr line with a (usually on target) pass to Jagr or whoever. Watching Backman and Studs trying to make exit passes out of the d-zone was agonizing.

    I’m still trying to forget my wasted Saturday evening…. Well not entirely wasted, I did go out for steak before the game….

    Sam,

    any idea what went on at the “emergency” practice earlier today?

  6. Mike B. says:

    Sam,

    Thanks a lot for the info, please do post whatever you hear about when and how they go on sale.

    LET’S GO RANGERS

  9. Isa says:

    $125? Geez! I feel bad for Czech hockey fans, that’s like eight times what a ticket to see a game in that arena usually costs.

  10. acdaviddc says:

    oh ya we’ll have on Messier,graves and richter jerseys.one more thing hey Sam turn the clock ahead i hour,,,,,.....

  11. Beer Me! says:

    Funny how on Friday afternoon I was dying to see a Ranger game, and I was upset that I had obligations that would limit me to only a few minutes of BOTH games this weekend. Now, I’m really glad that I had to do, what I had to do.

    The REALLY funny thing is that the only few minutes of either game I saw was Backman heading to the penalty box.

    Really sux to have dropped both of those games. But I’d still rather give those 2 teams points than any other team we’ve played since the western teams.

    Now comes the long-awaited 10-game divisional stretch. It ain’t over yet. But I’ll admit that #1 in the conference will take a miracle.

  12. Beer Me! says:

    I only went back to read the previous threads comments…

    doodie – I want to compliment you on your somewhat positive outlook. I didn’t expect to see much from anyone.

  13. Agravaine says:

    Hey acd,

    my twin sister and I wil be at the game too. We are in the 200’s somewhere (I know not helpful right… we got the tix from my Mom’s boss) I hope its a great game!! the boys can bounce back agaisnt Pitts.

    Prague tix, eh? I was trying to save for Prague, now I guess I will focus on Yankee Stadium. Stinks cause the season opens on our birthday and we have gone to the last few openers… oh well..

    and… Happy St Paddy’s Day!!

    Everyone’s Irish on St Patrick’s Day.

    Have a happy and safe day.

    Sam, re: the info about Prague tickets – the big variable is was that US$ or Euro?

  15. Does it sicken anyone else deep in their stomach to consider that these first 2 games in an 82 game season could potentialy weigh heavily on the decision of whether or not to resign Jagr? That really bothers me, just something so wrong about that.

    And to pre-empt those of you who will try to say “Daaaar slatherr already said he wanted him already so teh gaymes in pr0g dont mean anything already already already daaaaar….”

    Don’t believe a word from Slats, ever. It’s still all positioning at this point.

  16. haha gonna be a pretty quiet day huh?

    cmon guys, we still have a really good chance to make the playoffs!

  17. longtimerangersfan says:

    Salty, I’m starting to think of the old “snowball/hell” axiom. Hope I’m wrong and they get their collective heads out of their nether regions.

  18. Agravaine says:

    Yes we do Salty! As long as the boys pull themselves up by their boot straps and play with the same passion they ahd in the early part of that stretch. I think they will, but next year Renney better be real concerned with their inability to compete in games which they should dominate…

  19. Can someone please explain the Rangers system to me?

  20. Staal Wart says:

    Guys,
    I like Jagr will be watching the game…but my question is…why have the game in Prague when 99.9999% or maybe 100% of the people there are going to be from the US and Can-a-dia?
    Its so stupid…why not just play the game in Prague, Oklahoma? Also if Jagr isn’t on the team, who in Prague would want to go to the game? Especially for that kind of money.

    As far as our Beloved NYR…
    guys its not the end of the world…we will make the playoffs…the team still has time to pull it together. For most of the 13 game pt. streak this team was flying. I think if this team gets it together and gets back on track they could go pretty far in the playoffs…don’t forget…its a new season once the playoffs start and certain players really turn it on…others fade…but…
    the Rangers have proven playoff performers.

    I also want to say that dispite the Devils seemingly unstoppable play of late…I think, like last year they are burning out Brodeur…and I love it. What do you guys think?
