Ducks fans are upset that the Predators are trying to prevent them from attending away games

The Nashville Predators have no shortage of fans to sell out their home games, so it makes sense that they would try to prevent Ducks fans from invading their territory.

The Nashville Predators have no shortage of fans to sell out their home games, so it makes sense that they would try to prevent Ducks fans from invading their territory.

This is not a new tactic for NHL teams, as they frequently will put up location-based blocks on their ticket sales. Apparently the Preds have done this for the Anahiem area as someone tweeted out that a Ducks’ season-ticket holder was having trouble trying to purchase tickets for the away games in the series.

An @AnaheimDucks season ticket holder just sent us this screenshot. They can't buy tickets to see Ducks play in Nashville. #DucksvsPreds pic.twitter.com/EJmJC77GZY

Anaheim fans were not all too pleased with this development.

@hockeynightinsd @AnaheimDucks That is bogus!! Do they know anyone who lives in Tennessee?

@hockeynightinsd @AnaheimDucks Are they allowed to do this?

@hockeynightinsd @AnaheimDucks So they are encouraging scalping? So more ticket firms in the area & resell higher to Ducks fans that were going.

One fan pointed out that the Tampa Bay Lightning have done this in past, and fans weren’t too thrilled about that either.

@hockeynightinsd @AnaheimDucks The Tampa Bay Lightning restricted opposing team's jerseys a couple years ago. https://t.co/QpTwqE3WS1
