Even though I don't make a habit of inviting faceless internet poster's into my families house, I may make an exception for you.
Being you claim to be from Pittsburgh and such. I manage to make it to maybe one game a year and those are tickets thrown my way. The last game I went to, the tickets were $200/each. With food at the arena ($8 beers and $15 sandwiches) for two and parking, we are talking $450 for 3 hours of entertainment. I can work my sources for some if you are truly interested. How much warning do you need?
