Fans baffled by monstrous ticket prices ahead of Canada vs. USA 4 Nations final: 'That's just insane'



Canada and the United States are set to face off in a grudge match tonight, and fans cannot believe how high ticket prices have soared.

The 4 Nations Face-Off championship game comes after the Americans beat Canada 3-1 last Saturday and garnered decade-high viewership for the game. With three fights in the first nine seconds of the game, the rivalry has boiled and subsequently pushed ticket resales at TD Garden in Boston to their max.

Across three of the most popular resale sites — SeatGeek, StubHub, and Ticketmaster — the get-in price is at least $837 USD at the time of this writing, offered by StubHub. While SeatGeek has several options between that price and $1,000 (albeit nosebleeds), fans will not get into the building through Ticketmaster for less than $1,000.

While tickets in that range were going like hotcakes all morning, the trend of resellers posting their "not-going" price shows that everyone has a dollar figure that can convince them to watch from home.

Ticketmaster's highest resale price was $10,000, while on SeatGeek, one ticket-holder was willing to give up his seat in the fourth row for $12,890. StubHub took home the prize for most outrageous resale price, however, selling a worse seat toward the back of the lower bowl (21st row) for a cool $14,458.

'What is this, a Leafs game?'

Fans online rejoiced about ticket prices from just a few weeks ago, with one Canadian saying he saw prices spike right after the two teams took off the gloves three times.

One fan claimed his friend got his tickets for $250, while another claimed $150 was his pre-tournament cost.

"Smart people like me got them for a fraction of that price before the tournament," another fan bragged.

While others called the ticket prices "insane," some found solace knowing that the costs were still cheaper than seeing Taylor Swift in concert.

That’s just insane.

Reselling tickets to big events like this has become a huge business that can inflate prices, but unfortunately for fans north of the border, these prices seem all too typical for Canadian teams like the Toronto Maple Leafs.

For example, 11th-row tickets at the Leafs game against the Carolina Hurricanes this Saturday are reselling as high as a whopping $1,488. Cheaper single seats also go for between $400 and $600, but keep in mind that fans are not overly excited for the Hurricanes to come to town. A game against the Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins, or other rivals typically go even higher.

What is this a Leafs game 😉

The game airs tonight at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN, ESPN+, and Disney+.

Donald Trump RUINS Kamala Harris in hilarious new political ad



Democrats have been proudly calling Kamala Harris the “border czar” to highlight her role in immigration for years.

However, it’s become increasingly obvious that the title isn’t one to gloat about — as it appears she has done absolutely nothing to remedy the very clear crisis at the southern border.

And a new Donald Trump political ad highlights just how bad the “border czar” has been.

The ad opens with a video of Harris dancing in a brightly colored button-down shirt as a voice says “This is America’s ‘border czar.’”

“She’s failed us. Under Harris, over 10 million illegally here. A quarter of a million Americans dead from fentanyl. Brutal migrant crimes and ISIS, now here,” the voiceover continues.

The ad then plays the now famous clip of Harris admitting to a reporter that she’s never been to the border by saying “And I haven’t been to Europe.”

Gray has one criticism of the ad, but it’s not much.

“Whether or not you want to split hairs, but that wasn’t her title. It wasn’t an official title, everybody knows that. But she was placed in charge of the border,” Gray says. “She was placed in charge of border security. That’s just a fact that they are trying to eliminate from the American psyche.”

While the stats on the border couldn’t be clearer, it seems that Harris doesn’t understand them.

“I will proudly put my record against his any day of the week,” Harris said about immigration in a recent rally.

“Do it,” Gray says. “You will lose.”

'I'm so proud to be American': Olympic swimmer Regan Smith says it 'never gets old' to represent the United States



American swimmer Regan Smith showed a tremendous amount of national pride after setting the world record for the 100-meter backstroke.

The Olympic silver medalist set two personal bests at the U.S. Olympic Swimming Team Trials in Indianapolis en route to qualifying for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. She dominated the 100- and 200-meter backstroke, along with the 200-meter fly event.

The 22-year-old, who said she wears her heart on her sleeve, may be one of the most prideful athletes heading into the summer games.

"I am such a patriotic girl. I love America so much. I am such an American girl to my core, seriously," she said in a recent interview.

Looking ahead to wearing the team USA swimming cap and uniform, the swimmer described herself as "unbelievably" proud and said representing the country is special every time.

"It never gets old, truly. Each summer when I've gotten to put the American flag cap on my head and represent it, I am so unbelievably proud. And every time I'm able to stand on top of a podium and put my hand on my heart and hear the national anthem play over the entire aquatic center, it's very special. It never gets old."

'I wasn't just swimming for me; I was swimming for the entire country behind me.'

Smith has already had an incredible amount of success while representing the United States at such a young age.

She won gold at the 2019 World Championships in the 200-meter backstroke and the 4x100-meter medley at just 17 years old.

At the 2020 Olympics, Smith took home two silver medals and one bronze.

She won another two gold medals at the 2022 World Championships and one gold, three silver, and one bronze at the 2023 World Championships.

"I would say it kind of gains importance and value each time that it happens for me," she told Fox News. "This summer is going to be no different. I'm just going to be so unbelievably excited to put that cap on and go overseas and represent the best country in the history of the world, I'd say. And it's just — it's wonderful. It's really, really wonderful. And I'm so proud to be American every time that I compete for my country," Smith continued.

The world champion recalled the first time she represented the country when she was 15 and said that the opportunity almost brought her to tears.

"I had such a strong sense of pride, and I was getting up behind the blocks, and I wasn't just swimming for me; I was swimming for the entire country behind me, who had my back and who wanted me to succeed."

The Lakeville, Minnesota, native said that she loves swimming for something "so much bigger than yourself," adding that the desire to make her country proud actually takes some of the pressure off of performing.

Swimming competitions at the 2024 Paris Olympics begin on July 27.
