Ralph Tucker, and hundreds of others like him, waited a long time in line today to  get tickets  to see the Prince George Cougars take on the Vancouver Giants.

"I was here at 10:00 this morning " says Tucker,  "There wasn’t anyone around so I thought I could just slip inside get the tickets and go, but once I  got inside,  I saw the line up  all the way around the  arena."  Tucker  took his place in line and waited 3 and a half hours to get the seats.
