... while just blocks away, hundreds of homeless people and drug addicts struggle to get through each day. Thaaaaaat's Vancouver!

Vancouver Canucks fans desperate to watch Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals in person will have to fork over a minimum of $1,600 per ticket for tomorrow night's showdown. That's the lowest price for tickets to the Rogers Centre on online resaler StubHub, with the average price of a ticket going for slightly more than $3,000 apiece and lower-bowl seats fetching more than $6,500 each, which is basically the price of a year's tuition at most universities in the country. At that price, the fines for property damage or public intoxication that a handful of Canuckleheads are all but guaranteed to get, regardless of how the game turns out, are petty change.
