uk_wingnut 1 Report post Posted July 19, 2013 Hi guys, I have just received a email from leafs nation saying that I have won the ballot draw and I am entitled to purchase 4 tickets to the winter classic!!!! After jumping up and down with excitement I had a look at the terms and conditions and it says you must be a resident of Ontario to purchase tickets Is there anyway I can get around this without moving to Ontario? I have been a die hard wings fan for 10 years now and have only had the chance to see them play in Stockholm, attending the winter classic would be a dream come true for me and my wife. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your wifes friend should have no problem purchasing them for you, it's the same thing I do when someone on ebay only ships to the U.S. I just use a family members address Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Well.....Your problem is.....You went thru the Toronto Maple Leafs, and not the Detroit Red Wings Wings fans taking seats from the theoretical pool of Leafs fans' seats? Sounds like a good plan to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blazer 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Not trying to hijack the thread or anything, but seeing as I'm in a very similar boat as the thread starter (regarding Winter Classic Tickets) I didn't see the point in starting a new thread with the same title (Mods, if that's better; tell me and I will):I've been a Wings fan since about '93 - '94 (got to know the NHL through NHL Hockey games, then for real shortly after) living in Norway and only got to see them play in Stockholm in 2009.I don't want to miss the Winter Classic and especially the Alumni games. The ticket mess just have me real confused and don't know what to trust; I want one ticket for all 10 games and 6 events if possible and found this site: http://shop.globaleventforum.com/iprotour/buy1.asp?action=NEW&ProgramID=PP101799Does anyone have any experience with GlobalEvents from past events? Is it legit or fraud?And are the seats for the GLI, OHL and AHL games good, the other two I have overview pictures of; looking to buy the section 22 upgrade for the Winter Classic game in the link; looks good to me, if anyone has experience with previous WC's and think that's is bad don't hesitate to warn me Also; I was thinking of trying private accomodations (bed and breakfast type of thing, not unlike couchsurfing only organized); and found a good one in Selden Street.Is that a good neighborhood (no prejudice, just don't know what to think of areas and possible bad places), I don't have a drivers license so are taxi's better than buses, or bicycling for that matter?Not sure what is most tourist friendly.Greatly appreciate any help and pointers I can get.Kind regards.Edit: spelling.

ShanahanMan 473 Report post Posted September 11, 2013 Anyone else get the winter classic ticket e-mail yesterday? Basically, had a two hour time frame to buy tickets for the game yesterday. Picked up two good seats for $500 for the pair. Seemed crazy expensive until I hit up stubhub after and saw equivalent tickets were going for around $600 PER ticket. Anyway, finally locked in!

rrasco 1,312 Report post Posted September 11, 2013 I think they do a group every week, or every few days, or something on some kind of rotation. I kept my original tickets, but I also had the opportunity to buy more this year. I didn't buy any more though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
