Rangers fan gives amazing Game 7 interview, bought $4.5K tickets ‘in hundreds only’ (Video)

Tickets for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final were the highest selling of the playoffs on the secondary market. So Scott Oake of CBC decided to ask a fan at Friday night’s Tampa Bay Lightning vs. New York Rangers final what his seats cost, considering he was against the glass in prime real estate.

Needless to say, he picked the right fan.

Here’s the surreal conversation between Oake and Will Rouse, the chilliest Ranger fan in the history of chillin’.

WILL: “My man, I paid forty-five hundred dollars.”

OAKE: “Yesterday on the secondary market, they were asking 19,200 bucks for these seats. Did you think about selling them?”

[At this point, Will grabs his gold necklace with both hands and puts it on display.]

WILL: “That would have been cool, but you know what? I gotta see the Rangers win. I could have blown all that money on water. I don’t really drink alcohol. It’s cool.”

OAKE: “Tell me again what you paid for this seat?”

WILL: “Four thousand, five hundred dollars. Hundreds only. Benjamin-Franklin-is-killin’-the-gaaaaame.”

You know, the guys from ENTOURAGE were here for Game 5. I think they left something behind…

Three reactions to this:

1. Water is free, according to Jay-Z. And New York tap water is among the best in the world.

2. We actually live in a world where the single worst place to watch a hockey game is also the most expensive.

3. Never before has board advertising so perfectly synced up with a fan interview. Sir, you’re on fire, hotter than Cholula.
