Typical Hurricanes

[Cross Traffic]

First skanky cheerleaders and now people outside of NC can't buy seats for the Eastern Conference final?

The most diehard Sabres fans planning a trek to Raleigh, N.C., may have found something even more shocking Monday. Anyone going onto the Carolina Hurricanes Web site to buy tickets for the first two games there was greeted by a blunt message:

"Sales to this event will be restricted to residents of bordering states," with residency based on credit-card address. "Orders by residents outside of this area will be canceled without notice and refunds given."

In other words, the Hurricanes appear concerned that their arena could be filled with too many Sabres fans.

Trying to be like your Southleast Division neighbors in Washington that wouldn't sell tix to Pens fans? What a joke. Tourist $$$$ bring extra $$$$ into the local economy dipshits.

The Canes are not the local Chamber of Commerce, doncha know. Their concern is not bringing in tourist dollars.

It's nothing new--various teams have been doing this for years.

How is this "typical Hurricanes"?

I've not heard of such a tactic being used before, but I like it. If it improves the atmosphere in your building for your team, why wouldn't you do it?

Various teams? I only know of 2....Washington and Carolina. Afraid the Sabres fans will make more noise?
