Official Tickets Thread

[Guest jeaninbarrie]

Just another observation on my ticket purchases so far this season:

How is it that the game seats i bought form a U.S. "secondary" ticket vendor, that is located in San Diago California (!!) got my tickets to my front door a day and a half after i made the buy...AND...the tickets that were purchased from Montreal's "primary" ticket vendor haven't shown up yet?

Another notch in their failure hat.

I got my tickets for tonight's game against The Bruins

Can't wait to see Samsonov in action

[Guest Cenner Hice]

I just got handed tickets to the Habs/Leafs game for this Friday in Toronto (soldout) and i don't even know if i can go!!!  :cry:  

Is there anything more devastating than that??? :cry: :cry: :cry:

I don't know if my story is more devastating, or if I'm just stupid, stupid, stupid.

I've got tickets to the games in NY on 24th (Islanders) and 27th February (Rangers). I got them on Saturday and was really excited. I live in the UK.

This morning, I realised I'm going skiing in Switzerland on 28th February and the plane takes off at 08.05 from London Gatwick (LGW). Now, how do I get from NY after the game to LGW in time? Let's assume the game lasts 2 1/2 hours (finishing at 21.30). Assume it takes 2 hours to check in to a flight from NY (ignoring travelling from Madison Square Gardens to the airport). The flight time is about 6 hours. The time difference is 5 hours. So, if a plane leaves at 23.30 for the UK (and it's going to LGW), I land in the UK at 10.30 on the 28th, missing my next flight by over 2 hours.

My boss (who I'm going skiing with) told me to sell the hockey tickets.

I think it looks like I have 2 options:

1) miss one day of skiing; or

2) risk losing my job.

Doh!

Good news is: At least I get to see the Habs twice.

Yaaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!!!!

Ya, that sucks. You could always go to the first game and sell the tickets to the 2nd game to be back in time.

Hello!

I'm looking to see if anyone is interested in 'trading' tickets for the Habs this year. I purchased a pair of tickets in a 10 game pack. But I'd like to maybe switch some tickets with someone to get 4 tickets to one game.

If you have 4 tickets together to a game this season, and would be interested in trading them for 2 tickets each to 2 games, then I'd love to chat with you!!

Please email me at daveallston@rogers.com and hopefully we can work something out. Thanks a lot!!!

I just went through every single home game trying to get a pair of tickets to see the Habs and there isn't even a pair I could buy except for like one game near the end of the year in the Saputo area. I just cannot believe that all the games are sold out like that...

Someone at work gave me this website that was faxed to the company last week and I checked it out... there were like so many tickets being sold by scalpers for 2x-3x their sale price. I can't believe we have come to that point, having scalper websites for our Habs.

This will be the first year I won't even go to one Habs game. It sucks.

I had the same problem last year but I was desperate to go (wife found cheap flights to Toronto). So I went on the web and compared lots of the ticket broker sites and, although a lot were 2x-3x the price (and then some), I finally found some for $15 more than the face value. I have looked since Saturday and there are some out there on the broker sites. Don't give up. I also bought tickets to the hockey at the Olympics on eBay (am I allowed to say that?) for face value when most tickets were going for more than that. If you persist, you will succeed.

Alternatively, win some in some competition.

[Guest nini06081989]

I have a question Like a buy 2 tickets for the sabres on DEc 9 on the white from a guy like on one ticket there are komi with stuff written behing the tickets on the second there is noting written behind both tickets are the same size and they both have a bar code.

I know this is not a buy/sell forum, but I have a few games left that I am selling at face value for anyone interested.

So what are you saying, that you are not sure if those tickets are valid???

Are they maybe ticketfast tickets?, cuz I know about those that you have to have a written permission from the person that originally purchased them, together with a copy from the creditcard that was used. You can find info about this on the Admission site.

[Guest lecavalierrocks]

I have the same feeling, I bought tickets from this guy who has season tickets and Im not sure if their real or not, They are also in the Whites and have Latendresses picture, its for the 26th. I was told that I can only find out if their real when they scan it at the entrance. is that true or can I go to the Bell Center's tickets booths???

[Guest Eazy_Ryder]

My wife and I picked up some tickets to the Joe o see the wings and HABS...My brother and Father-in-Law Love the wings and My Wife and I are die hard HABS fans so it will be great So on Jan.15 Just look for the two ppl with Habs jersies on on thier faces painted with the Canadiens Logo standing among a sea of Wings fans and that will be us....LOL

[Guest lecavalierrocks]

Yeah Im not sure about that one because mine, they both have the molson export writting.I dont know what to tell you. maybe go see someone at admissions???

[Guest thehuds]

I remember last year when I scalped some tickets the season tickets look different from the Admission ones. The Admission ones were yellowish and had both teams logos on it. Whereas the season tickets had a player on it. Ours ad Zednik blah

[Guest Habsy1]

Well I've only got tickets to 2 games so far. Hopefully I'll get to see more as the season progresses. But ticket availability could be a problem since the Habs have been a hot ticket since the lockout... is it me or is Montreal becoming as bad as Toronto in terms of trying to get tickets to a game? Anyways, the games I'm going to so far are:

Saturday, Oct. 21- Colorado @ Montreal

Monday, Nov. 13- Montreal @ Ottawa

[TMLFan4Lyfe]

Now I am assuming most of us here are from Montreal and I was wondering does anybody know anyway of getting tickets to go watch the Habs at the Bell Centre ? I checked admission.com, but there's nothing. I don't like buying them off scalpers because they charge an arm and a leg, especially for Northeast division games, original 6 teams etc.

Anyway, seeing as though admission.com has nothing, if I were to call the Bell Centre, would anything be available in the reds preferrably.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Anything in ROW D, nothing like being in the last row... You could stand during the game as much as you want... :mrgreen:

[Guest NewfieHab]

so Row D is the last row?

Isn't there a section after 300?

[canuckhound73]

so Row D is the last row?

Isn't there a section after 300?

Ohhh yeah my bad lol. Last row is in the 400's... Theres not much difference between row C and D since your stuck in the middle of the nose bleed "whites,greys,blues"... If you like having fun go for the molson ex zone.

[Guest TORHABSFAN]

I am currently selling 4 tickets for Habs vs. Leafs on Oct 28... Molson Ex zone sec 308 row D. 4 seats in a row.

PM any offers to me...
