Popular Post MattJVD Posted August 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Yep, in Victoria at the Royal's home arena. About an 8,000 seat facility. Lots of Canucks fans in town excited they have a chance to see the team without paying BC Ferries through the nose.

Goal:thecup Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 2 split-squad games on the same day (Sept 16). Anybody got the times of these games yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine pre-season games in Rogers probably only get about 12000 which is still far more than that capacity alone. Supply and demand probably made some of the season ticket holders want to lock up those tickets and re-sell them for an absurd price. Plus as you mention, the locals wanting this.

There was also a presale for Canucks email subscribers. I could have easily purchased tickets a week ago but passed up as that's my team's first game of the season that night. Playing is more important than watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capacity is a factor, sure, but the demand was a LOT higher than 12,000. It's not that they're bigger fans, it's just a rare oportunity for Islanders and they jump on the chance. Going to a game in Vancouver is an expensive full weekend trip, not something you can do on any given evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to a game in Vancouver is an expensive full weekend trip, not something you can do on any given evening. I'm just saying that for a pre-season game in Vancouver in Rogers that it doesn't usually sell out, but with their capacity even at those numbers, it's no surprise that tickets would be wiped out. When you combine what you say that locals have more incentive to go to this game and the fact that there are people that follow the supply and demand rule and try to profit from it, it would have always been difficult to get tickets for this game by the time the public sale comes out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaldBrashear Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Not surprised by the demand. This is probably the only time they will come there for the next decade or so. Next year will probably be like Prince George, then Terrace, then Nanaimo, then Kamloops, etc. Seems like Canucks will make this an annual tradition.
