Hi everyone, planning on coming into Ottawa for the Habs/Sens game tomorrow, and I will be staying downtown and I was wondering what is the best way to get to the game ? I remember a while back they had shuttle buses that go direct from downtown to the arena, if so how & where can I get a bus ticket for the game ? Also I have not gotten a game ticket yet any suggestions on where to sit and how much i should spend ??
any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
GO HABS GO !!
If you haven't already gotten everything together, stubhub has tickets for tonight start @29USD, ticketmaster has them starting at 68Cad, both are mobile tickets, or you can just as easily walk up to the box office in the CTC straight ahead of security at the main entrance. As for getting there, there are a lot of tickets left and bad weather out there today so I would expect less traffic for sure and maybe some cheaper tickets on stubhub if the snow continues, that is if you are driving, parking in lot 9 is $12.00 and it can go up to $50 for valet parking. Either way it is slow to get out of there...public transit from downtown, take the 400 series buses, they run less frequently now since the low attendance has affected demand so you can check the schedules per your location on OcTranspo's website.
Bus tickets are done with cash @ $4.00/ride, or the multi card but I figure cash would work best since you are an out of towner.
Enjoy the game, not really a bad seat in the house, the fan deck is alot of fun as its basically a bar with a balcony or there is the bacardi lounge, and the standing room in the third level can get fun too since it has a standing bar. I always enjoy myself at the arena regardless of how crappy it is to get there.
