zettermaberg 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2008 Going to be impossible (or expensive as hell) to get to this one.... Anyone up for just going to Chicago to hang out for NYE and watching the game at the bar? If we can't get there, we might as well take a caravan of fans and have a GTG or something....

Guest CaliWingsNut Report post Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) The view of the game at wrigley is going to be horrid anyways... Have you guys looked at the seating chart?!?!? The rink starts at about the pitcher's mound, with the nets well behind 1st and 3rd.... It's designed to be watched on TV, I feel sorry for those who spend so much money on these seats. It's historic, I'd love to attend, but it should have done someplace where it's viewable. Edited November 5, 2008 by CaliWingsNut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shockwave180 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2008 I will never understand why they chose to do this at Wrigley instead of Soldier Field. Soldier would've had double the capacity and a much better all-around view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you realize how many LGW'ers alone would kill for those tickets. Hell, I'd give you $10 extra per ticket if you registered and got your name pulled.

rossco 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2008 Why? Do you realize how many LGW'ers alone would kill for those tickets. Hell, I'd give you $10 extra per ticket if you registered and got your name pulled. Wasn't impressed already with the way this event has been handled as I have a 10 day hockey trip over from Scotland already booked around the game at Wrigley and had been hoping for an earlier announcement but it gets even better when I read the rules for the ballot and I quote ELIGIBILITY: The Drawing is open to all legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia......" Didn't even get to first base!! Add this one to not being able to purchase Stanley Cup finals tickets from the Pens last year as I was an "out of town" fan, ok I'm a Wings fan but could easily have been a Pens fan. I could just about understand the logic in that case but it's beyond me how this is consistent with marketing the NHL outside of North America ....hell yeah fleece the fans when you bring teams over here but let's keep the outside world outta our backyard. What about the near neighbours across the Detroit river....it beggars belief Boo sucks and I await my reply from Gary...if only I could get someone to call him tomorrow on his call in show on XM radio Maybe I'll go the Rooftops option and watch where there is food and somewhere warm to take a leak....alternative is to cave in as I did for the SC Finals to someone on a get rich quick mission Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CdnWingsFanEh 2 Report post Posted November 8, 2008 Well as a Canadian your out of luck no way to put a Canadian address in there Just announced a couple nights ago on TSN during a hockey game, the NHL will be ensuring there will be a separate lottery for Canadian fans to get tickets in. I don't have a link for news or the tickets, though. Not sure how they would run it, given it's in Chicago... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
