Visiting Ottawa and CTC/Tickets thread

[jason2020]

Just a heads up about next weekend

Friday/Saturday)Crashed Ice downtown

Most streets will be closed or have limited access in the downtown core there expecting up to 100,000 on Saturday.

Friday/Saturday)Oua mens basketball final 4 @ Carleton

Sunday)Clarkson Cup Ctc

Hotels/bars etc will be jam packed on weekend also traffic/transit will be a challenge.

Cannot comment on the St. Patrick's day events but it sounds like you're in town just in time for the Stanley Cup Tribute, which may be of some interest to you:

Great suggestion, thanks!

We need a few suggestions for:

1. Best places for breakfast
2. Best bars in the ByWard market area
3. At least one "nice" dinner option in ByWard
4. A good sports bar to watch hockey games, preferably near the Canadian Tire Centre, for our friends who couldn't afford tickets
5. I think we are interested in the alumni meet and greet, but what is it going to be? The website doesn't say...
6. Best place to buy a Sens jersey for the hockey game.


Right now our current planned events/dining include:

Historic Tavern Tour
Flapjack's Canadian diner
Rideau Canal
Ghost and Gallows Tour
Parliament Hill (Centre Block Tour)
National Gallery
Notre-Dame Basilica
Habs vs Sens
Jigsaw Escape Room
ByWard Market for St.Patrick's day

IT is finally here!! My first sens game
Gotta say, Canada have been amazing, never met so friendly and welcoming people in My life!
I am actually thinking of moving to Ottawa after this trip.
How is the job market and living costs for condo/houses?
I work as a key account manager for a trading company in norway.
Anyone know If it is difficult to get a job in this field, How is salaries here?

Sorry If this is not the place to ask this, since it is not game related.

Job market here is pretty good, and housing is FAR more affordable than it is in many other major Canadian cities. Let's put it this way - I think that Ottawa is the best combination of affordable housing and a strong job market of any city in Canada. If you have an identifiable skill, you'll find a job here...

I have 4 tickets for March 23rd against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Section 115, Row A, Seats 5-8. The best seats in the house! Might be able to catch a Crosby tear!

Hey guys,

Heading to Ottawa this Saturday for the Habs/Sens game and sleeping at Best Western in Gatineau.

Any suggestion for a restaurant near?
Also, is there a lot of traffic?
Best time to arrive?
Anything worth checking in or around the arena?

Thanks guys.

This link should answer most of your questions, but there is nothing much around the Arena except perhaps the Tanger Outlet mall.

For restaurants "close" by your best bet is the Kanata Centrum.

I think it's time to start buying playoff tickets.

Today I purchased 2 tickets in the upper 300s for $235 total on StubHub, for Home Game #1.

 

[Smash88]

How are you buying tickets? Season seat holders are the only ones that have tickets, but they haven't been paid for.. they can cancel them at anytime before we clinch.

 

[ISensFanI]

Woah playoff tickets becareful might be a scam i havent heard of them veing on sale yet

 

[source]

Here is the link for tickets.

The prices are in US dollars. I purchased 2 tickets at $92.50 USD per ticket (including fees), which worked out to $117.50 CAD per ticket.

I hope I don't get screwed by the seller, but StubHub will guarantee what I've paid.

 

[NNYSens]

I have 2 tickets to tomorrow's Sens Rangers game in sec 109 $120 a piece, pm if interested.

 

[Ronjames]

Hey guys.

Not sure if this the right place to do it. But I'm selling my tickets to game 1.

Section 315 Row P: Seats 1-4

I bought them at $88.50 but I'm willing to let them go $10 cheaper (Each!, so $20 in total).

Ticketmaster etransfer works. Saves on fees.

 

[booyaka85]

I have 2 tickets for Game 2 on Saturday in Sec 322 row H. $250 for the pair and it includes lot 4 parking. Reason for selling if i have to take time off work I'd rather see a night game than a afternoon game. Pm if interested.

I've just e-mailed you with more details.

 

[SensForLife11]

Got a pair of tickets for sale in 318 Row E with parking to either Game 1 or Game 2. $200 for each set. Would cost $285 through Ticketmaster.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Coming from Toronto for game 2. Getting there Friday and probably leaving Sunday morning to come back.

Any recommendations for the best bar (for variety and microbrews) in Ottawa/Gatineau and a restaurant that is vegetarian friendly for the wifey? Go to spot for poutine? Also, is anything going to be open on Friday? Thanks in advance!

 

[BruinsFan1990]

Hello Senators fans!

I will be traveling to lovely Kanata for games 1 and 2. I'm hoping that one of you can answer a question for me. In regards to purchasing alcohol in the CTC, do they accept a US ID, or should I bring my passport into the arena with me as well (although very reluctant to do so)?

Thanks in advance for the help and I hope this ends up being a great series!
