INTERVIEW – SCOTT ALLEN – Sports reporter, Washington Post – discuss Caps game
>>Tickets to Caps Game 5 watch party at Capital One Arena sell out in minutes (WTOP)
It only took a few minutes, but tickets for the watch party for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final at Capital One Arena are sold out.
Tickets for the Thursday event were available beginning at 1 p.m. Wednesday. At 1:20 p.m., the Caps tweeted that all of the tickets were sold out. More than 70,000 people logged in at 1 p.m. when tickets became available, Monumental Sports & Entertainment said.
The tickets were free to the public, but there were fewer to pull from after Monumental announced Tuesday that tickets to the Thursday afternoon Mystics game would be free and that attendees could stick around to watch the viewing party after the WNBA game.
Tickets to the Mystics game are sold out as well.
