The Carolina Hurricanes have officially made the decision to refuse to sell tickets to anyone from the New York area in an attempt to keep a "home crowd" feel during their second round match up with the Rangers. This isn't the first time we've heard about this during this year's playoffs, but it seems it's happening again. The Nashville Predators did something similar in round one against the Colorado Avalanche.
As of Monday afternoon, there was a large amount of Hurricanes-Rangers tickets available at face value as low as $100.00 from the Hurricanes' website for every potential home game of the series. This policy does not prevent tickets from being sold on the resale market and likely only prevents the Hurricanes franchise from generating additional income from out of state visitors.
