Buy NHL China Games Beijing Sport Tickets

Looks like tickets in China are ranged from $250 to $55 USD

I feel a bit dirty asking this, especially since I recognize Gaudreau, but...who's the Bruin in the poster? Is it Chris Wagner? That would make me feel a little better if it's him...he hasn't imprinted on me yet. I'm zooming in on it, but I don't have one of those buttons like they have in CSI that can enhance the image.

Two more comments:
A) A fairly substantial discount for a "two persons package"? Does everyone go alone?
B) A 180 renminbi *coughthanksHQ* ticket is "only" $25? I suppose if the NHL only has one preseason game per year in each city...

EDIT: Nebermind, it's Pasta. I still don't think it looks like him. And apparently the two tickets are a "family pack" - one adult, one kid 15 or under.

And FYI, you can get cheaper tickets in Shenzen:

Weird, because in my YouTube stream of consciousness clicking a week or so ago, I stumbled upon a techie American living in there who added a headphone jack to his iPhone using tools and parts from the markets there. Go figure.

So the question is - Will @Gee Wally and @BMC be watching first Bruins game from China on 9/15?

at 2:30 AM

Since I've been waking up at 2AM on the dot every night for the past 8 months I'll say yes!

This is slower than the Registry

 

[Bmessy]

I wonder how many floors ORG is buying in Jacob's "Hub on Causeway"?

So you're saying it's a slow boat to China?

In related news, we now know a bit more about who's sailing away to China...in a little rowboat to find ya....

Don't be surprised if in 2024 it becomes ORG Garden

I'm glad those guys aren't going. But I wonder who else is going to be in Boston to fill out the roster for the games here.

Edit: that was fast

I'm still on the fence as to whether I like this whole China trip thing.

Add Mark Fayne to the not going to China roster

[Saxon Eric]

The only thing I like about this China trip is 40+ players will get a long look vs the 25 in usual years

NESN has decided that they will NOT air the games from China.

So the game on the 15th will be on NHL Network and on the 19th on NBCSN. In Canada SN and TVAS will show the games. 98.5 will broadcast the games on radio.

 

[talkinaway]

A week's worth of shows on NESN from 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM:

Outdoor America
Raceline
3 Wide Life
Honda Racing At Speed
King of the Road
Dining Playbook (2x)
On Course with Andy Brickley (2x)
Mega Fights (2x)
Fight Sports MMA
Fight Sports World Champions
Ring of Honor
Hollywood Wrestling
Heartland Poker Tour
Glory 57 Rewind

From 4 AM to 9 AM, it's NESN Sports Update on a loop.

C'mon. Really? I will personally go to the houses of BOTH people who watch Outdoor America and reenact the episode that they missed. Because it would be a shame if they missed a program whose description is: "Grid Iron Outdoors, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Musky Hunter TV, Florida Adventure Quest". Because we all know what this country needs more of: more musky hunters on TV.

The kicker is ORG would have paid all of NESN's expenses...........

I guess this goes here...



Visa problems? Is David Krejci the Czech James Bond? He does have a house (and in-law family, I think?) in Carolina, so it's nice that he doesn't have to be quite as far away during the storm.

I know a couple of people from Boston who were denied visas and to further complicate things Boston does not have a Chinese consulate.

Calgary does have a consulate.

The people's Republic of China currently maintains one Embassy in Ottawa, but also maintains 4 consulates-general in the following Canada cities: Vancouver, BC; Calgary, AB; Toronto, ON; Montreal, QC.

My money is on the latter. His wife's family is from Charleston and that's where they live in the off season.

Sure he could have a visa snafu but I'm willing to bet it has more to do with the hurricane.

The only way I'm ever going to China is if the Star Trek transporters become a reality.

That flight? Noooooooooo thanks.

Medicate. Wake up across the world. It's basically transporting.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Offer me a boat load of money while holding a gun to my head and I would probably still decline to go there.

But really, tell us how you truly feel.

Hopefully the wifi works

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Hopefully the wifi works

I tend to do trips to Asia every other year, and I'm usually asleep about 95% of the flight. And the other 5% I'm probably eating. (or going to the bathroom).

Also, cell/LTE service in most of the major Asian countries blows away what we have in North America.
