2013-14 Outdoor Games - Stadium Series - Van vs Ott - March 2nd, BC Place

[PG Canuck]

I think the only people that are fooled are NHL executives. The novelty seems to be wearing off for a lot of people and this is evident from most comments online. I personally do not see the demand for this game. There is no buzz in the media at all and the Canucks have had difficulty legitimately selling out any game lately.

Wait until gets closer, then it'll be promoted better. Honestly, if I weren't on HF, the chances of me finding we even had a Heritage Classic would've been slim (don't read CDC/NHL.com etc). Plus, it's summer yet. This game is something new and shiny, people will be attracted to it, especially since it's likely, a one time thing.

I wonder how much of the profit go to the NHL to help fund weak market teams

most of the profit goes to the nhl.. canucks get min profit from the game.. nhl are the ones that set the prices, not the canucks...

 

[Ziostilon]

hahaha whoa $$$

the salary cap wasn't gonna go up by itself.

 

[kurt]

Think it will sell out at those prices?

 

[The Bob Cole]

really hard to like this greedy organizarion

Canucks, or NHL?

The Canucks had 0 to do with setting the price for the event. This is NHL controlled (for all outdoor games). They come in, take over and basically tell the teams what will happen and what role they play in making it happen.

NHL determines every detail that happens with outdoor game events.

Gord Miller had an interesting tweet today.

“@GMillerTSN: Opening the roof at BC Place. Hope they do the same thing when I'm here for the NHL Heritage Classic in March. http://twitter.com/GMillerTSN/status/368876468945694722/photo/1”

Did TSN already get the Saturday rights for NHL even though CBC can still negotiate til the end of the month?

so far, all the $90 ones are gone as season tickets holder snapped them up... but pretty sure there will be some available for general public... i can see them giving discount to the ones that are $177 and $208... no way that many people will buy those when you are that far away..

Good luck to those people even seeing the puck.

i think most people are going for the experience... 90% of the ppl will be watching the big screen anyways.. so why not buy the cheapest seats and closest to the action..

 

[BC Ben]

I ended up buying a pair of the $200 tickets - 1st and 2nd seats in the row, offensive side of centre.

Willing to throw a little more to get the full experience. Dunno when Vancouver will host this type of game again.

#Canucks will wear Vancouver Millionaires jerseys, while Senators unveil new sweater featuring a large O as a throwback to 1930's Sens.

Uugghh, was really hoping we'd get new ones. We've already seen these.....booooooring.

 

[saskriders]

Two beauty jerseys

 

[Addison Rae]

Two beauty jerseys

Agreed.

 

[Seattle Totems]

how boring.. why even do a reveal for a uniform they already wore and currently sell?

 

[Nuckles]

I know this has been asked about a few times by people in the past

Heritage Classic tickets go on sale to the public next Thursday, Dec. 5 starting at 1pm ET/10am PT

For the life of me I can't remember why I was excited about this game when it was first announced.

 

[Bro Horvat]

both jerseys are very nice. Should be a great looking hockey game.

Will be interesting to see how both jerseys look in the rain.

Same.

Well if we came out with a new one I'm sure you guys would be complaining on how we have too many jerseys and it is just a money grabbing marketing scheme by the Canucks.

It's a beautiful heritage jersey. Inventing a new design would defeat the purpose of the Heritage Classic.

 

[nizarjr]

speaking of this game - what a huge win last night for the canucks!

Vancouver is literally the worst city to have this event in.

Much rather would have seen one in Edmonton or Calgary. Winnipeg be damned, wouldn't want to see the poor players flash-freeze to death.
