We're a little over two hours from puck drop in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final between the Kings and Coyotes at Glendale's Jobing.com Arena, and while the bandwagon has certainly filled up in the desert (the Diamondbacks are even on board!), tickets are still pretty darn cheap for the first game of the series.
You can currently grab a Game 1 seat on the secondary ticket marketplace for just $34, according to Coyotes blog Five For Howling and their ticket partner, TiqIQ. The average ticket price is $96 on the 274 remaining tickets (as of this writing) via TiqIQ. Compare that to the rest of the teams remaining in the playoffs:
Coyotes vs. Kings Game 4 tickets at Staples Center in Los Angeles next Sunday are available starting at $136 as of this writing. The average ticket price on the 1,386 tickets remaining is $384, via TiqIQ. Numbers for Thursday's Game 3 in L.A. aren't available.
Devils vs. Rangers Game 1 tickets at Madison Square Garden on Monday are available starting at $184 as of this writing. The average price on the 1,676 tickets remaining via TiqIQ is $509.
Devils vs. Rangers Game 3 tickets at Prudential Center on Saturday are available starting at $225 as of this writing. The average price on the 2,562 tickets remaining for that one is $603.
I'm not sure this is an indictment on Coyotes fans, necessarily. The game will be sold out and, in fact, the game is almost officially sold out through the team's official ticket provider, Ticketmaster. But it's certainly fodder for those who still fail to believe hockey can work in the desert.
‘Wolfenstein 3D’ Released as Free Web Browser Game - Expect work productivity to drop today. Wolfenstein 3D is being released as a free in-browser game by Bethesda Software to mark the 20th anniversary of the game’s release.
Wolfenstein 3D, which can be played here, is considered one of the earliest first-person shooters, and the game that made the genre popular on PC. It was developed by John Carmack at id Software and published by Apogee Software in 1992. The game originally was released for free as shareware, but then was later released as a paid PC game and on several consoles.
The browser version is the full release of Wolfenstein 3D; you play an American soldier in WWII attempting to escape from the Nazi stronghold of Castle Wolfenstein. You must navigate the 3D maze while fending off Nazi soldiers, attack dogs and mutant monsters.
Wolfenstein 3D was not the only stop for Carmack and designer John Romero; the duo later developed DOOM, the mega-popular 1993 FPS that was downloaded by 10 million people in the first two years.
Bethesda Software also announced they would be dropping the price of the iOS version of Wolfenstein 3D (iTunes link) to commemorate the anniversary. For a limited time, gamers will be able to pick up the classic for free on their iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on Wednesday..
Are you excited about the rerelease of Wolfenstein 3D? Do you have fond memories playing the title when it came out 20 years ago? Let us know in the comments.
