Pre-Game Talk: Outdoor Game 2017 OTT-MTL

[aragorn]

I sit in level D, the light blue area for Redblack games & that would cost $800 for us to go to this game in our seats. Ouch! Not going to happen. Honey, I just paid for our seats for the NHL classic game & it only cost $800 ..... bang .... call 911.

 

[Franky Gee]

Anyone has any inside information regarding special events that might occur Friday the 15th also ? Trying to book train tickets but I'm wondering if it's worth it to come a day early.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Got an email to buy up to 8 addtional tickets, imagine the sales didnt go all that well. Didnt want to take out another mortgage on the house so im passing on the addtionals.

The one in Toronto didn't even sell out last year. Tickets are quite expensive.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

I have my seats. Will be bringing my own brandy. That's my trick to surviving winter redblacks games.

 

[CTC]

I got an advanced ticket sale email. Pricing for the pop up section was min $199.99+.

 

[Larionov]

My spidey sense tells me that there will be some ticket bargains to be had as this event draws closer. At this point, there is zero incentive to buy now. I plan on waiting until the last minute and seeing what kind of deals pop up, and how the prices start looking on StubHub...

Where are these pop up sections???? $200 sounds "somewhat" reasonable.

Temporary seating that will be going up soon in the East End Zone. It's going in for Grey Cup, and will just stay for the hockey game three weeks later...

So who do you want to see in the alumni game? Any idea when the rosters would be announced?

The alumni game at this point is looking doubtful, the 67s are playing Gatineau outdoors on the 18th though, which should be fun too.

Is this team going to get two outdoor games and no alumni games? Have any outdoor games that didn't involve Ottawa not have alumni games?

Guessing these (or something similar with an "O") will be the jersey's worn, from the 1917-18 NHL Inaugural Season.

Gonna be an outdoor rink at Parliament Hill in December, even though the deal for the NHL team fell through!

2 months to go as of yesterday......

 

[starling]

Hey look they are building the rink on the Hill:

 

[NyQuil]

I gots my tickets.

 

[Back in Black]

Woo-hoo! Tom Amsemli was just quoted, sayin' there will be special jerseys for the outdoor game. And they'll be out in a few weeks.

There is also going to be a red/white alumni game!

He also mentioned that the 31,000 seats are almost sold out!

 

[Back in Black]

I bet they'll be Peace Tower jerseys. Lots of images of the Peace Tower being used in marketing this year.

I moved your quote from the "Jersey" thread to the "Outdoor Game" thread, 'cause who knows, you may be on to something!

 

[Baby Ryan]

Best not get blown out in this one... can you imagine the catastrophe?

I expect us to not show up or have a poor game, pretty standard for the Sens when there in the spotlight and especially at home....that train is never late!

Hoping they drop a nice uniform for this game as there's no way im buying the current Adidas one, have a couple gift cards I was saving to buy a new sweater when the centurion is inevitably ditched here but depending on what they roll out I may splurge....gotta figure it should be released somewhat shortly to give us an opportunity to purchase prior to the event.

Yep, in a few years, it'll be as rare as the Ott/Van Classic off-white SENS Heritage jersey. Then again, so will this years red/white Adidas, once they are dumped....

Still disappointed I failed to grab one of the white/beige O jerseys, the feltish logo and numbers name etc was a nice touch imo

I'm with you. I regret not grabbing one too. Every time I see one I wish I could add it to my collection.

 

[Back in Black]

Surely you can find one on Ebay. Or if you get reeeaaaal lucky, one will pop up on Kijiji. Just don't ask me to sell you one of my two!!!!

Here's one on kijijj, but no felt numbers: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-hockey/otta...ey/1309162300?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true (personally, I would hold out for one with felt numbers).

***** There are quite a few on Ebay for $175 (free shipping), and up!
