Affordable Canadiens Rookie Game Tickets Could Make Family Night Possible

No need to explain it-you see it yourself every time you leave the house: the cost of living has skyrocketed in recent years.

For many Montrealers, a trip to the Bell Centre is normally a luxury they cannot afford.

And if the Canadiens have as exciting a season as expected, it will be even harder to find last-minute deals like those available in past seasons.

That said, while browsing online yesterday, the author of these lines made a discovery that is likely to delight families on a tight budget.

The rookie tournament, now called the Prospect Showdown, will take place in less than two weeks. The Canadiens' rookies will face off against those from the Maple Leafs, Senators, and Jets.

It is for the game against the Jets' rookies, scheduled for Saturday, September 13 at 7:00 p.m., that fans can still purchase tickets at very affordable prices at the time of writing.

Some are priced at $14, with many under $20.

Of course, many people will read this article this morning, and it's very likely that the available tickets will sell out quickly. But if you have children and cannot afford to pay several hundred dollars to take them to the Bell Centre during the regular season, this is a golden opportunity.

The tickets we found are available on billet.ca, and other similar sites likely offer comparable prices.
