Just browsing ticket sites. For tonight - $399/e for two seats, row 6, center ice in NJ. Is it me, or does that sounds extremely cheap for cup final tickets?
edit: Looked at game 2, much higher. otherwise I would have contemplated driving/flying out there to take in stanley cup final game!

Wow, that is cheap. In 2006, seats in the nose bleeds for the Oilers were going for $2k+ EACH, PER GAME!!!

Ya, and it STILL wasn't enough to make me think I could miss the game live and in person, and watch it on TV instead. 
Fan apathy by NJ after being their before? Maybe just yet another reason to cheer for the Kings. GO KINGS!!!
OTOH, if I was a non-season ticket holding fan in NJ, what a bargain!!! I'd be so all over that!!!
Of course, I'd be wearing an Oilers jersey (or at least a Kings one)
