Yeah I doubt they learned their lesson. Hopefully they price the tickets for 100% occupancy.

 

[Faelko]

Finally some decent hockey to watch...

 

[snag]

Edmonton and...Red Deer?

Hey Calgary:

 

[McDrai]

Can't wait to pay $200 to watch a Canada vs Denmark game

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Have Edmonton and Red Deer moved further apart?

McKenzie adds that an official announcement is expected from Hockey Canada on Thursday. Edmonton and Red Deer are about a two-hour drive from one another.

When I lived in Edmonton it was only just over an hour to Red Deer and about 2 and a quarter to Calgary.

For Canada games.yes. but many of the other teams night ticket prices will be very bad

If you drive like 140km/hour maybe.

 

[Canovin]

I would pay $200 for a WJC game. Not everyone gets to experience these type of games live

Either you lived in Leduc or you set your cruise at 145.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I'm pretty excited my son will be 6 by then and he'll likely enjoying the game quite a bit. It was a lot of fun last time it was here.

Don't like the cost then don't buy tickets, it's really that simple. People will be buying the packages as you won't be able to get a Canadian game after. Just wait and you'll be able to buy some cheap tickets to go watch the lessor countries play. You want to see Canada then you'll be paying like it's a NHL game

 

[SK13]

Ticket economy is, as ever, supply and demand. Priced out? Well, the downtown atmosphere is still going to be special so find a bar.

 

[MessierII]

I can’t wait honestly. I love the world juniors.

My uncle is already talking about missing x-mas that year so that he can stay in Edmonton longer to do just this.

Sounds like there's a bunch of his buddies that are going to try fly out with him boxing day morning

With Fifa coming to Edmonton(not confirmed),I have a feeling the Winter Olympics 2026 will also be held in Calgary and Edmonton(hockey).

Edmonton finally getting some nice things

I'm actually surprised Mantioba isn't getting another one before us. Or was the attendance just that bad when they had it?

Yeah, usually drove about 125-135 on Highway 2 with no stops. Never got a ticket (though I did get a warning once) and traffic was always pretty good. Could get to Banff in about 3 and a half going through Carstairs and Cochrane.

Maybe most of my trips being early morning or later at night on the weekdays and not getting hung up with bad traffic also helped.

Ticket packages start selling in 2019. Oilers STH will get first crack. Premium seat holders already got the email.

Good luck with that now. If the weather is good that you can speed they have dozens of police patrolling.

125 on the highway to Calgary is the sweetspot. I can drop to 120 without having to sudden stop and still be okay with not getting a ticket.

117 a guy from work got caught last year. Was even better that when he got to Calgary the 2 day meeting turned into a 3hour meeting that probably could've been done by conference call.

I couldn't believe 117. My cruise is always that 118 or 119 in a 110.

Do they ticket left lane drivers now or is that still not a law on the books in Alberta?

 

[Jumptheshark]

will Northlands still be around or will it already have been imploded? for practice reasons
