Hockey protest, 1968 After failing to persuade the Canucks’ general manager to lower the $2.50 price of hockey tickets, elementary school kids decided to hold a protest outside the Coliseum. Inside the 15,000 capacity arena, just 5278 seats were filled as Vancouver took on Seattle. The protesters argued that the venue would be filled if kids were offered 50 cent tickets, as they were the previous year. Source: Vancouver Sun, 18 October 1968
