I suggest you email them and ask them. I also emailed them and asked them too. They should extend it and also allow use at the Canucks store (they gotta dump merchandise somehow...)

I only have 3 games left that I have sold. 2 In person and one through Ticketexchange in which I already have received and deposited the cheque.
Have contacted the two people I have sold to directly and am arranging meeting up to refund them and get the hard copies back for now.
Not quite sure how the TicketExchange sale will work at this point.Just keep in mind that the season has not technically been canceled yet. The Canucks very well could reschedule these games later on, in which case the tickets might be valid. That is unlikely though. If you do refund the money, make sure they give you back the hard copy tickets (I know you said you would, this is for anyone else thinking of refunding tickets) that way if the event goes on as planned they can't use the tix.
This really sucks for ticket resale sites. Again, what a mess. Stubhub is overwheled their phone lines have several hours long wait times.

I still don't get the toilet paper craze.
My theory behind it is that toilet paper is the largest item physically you can buy in a store, and so only so many fit on a shelf. It doesn't take much to clear out an entire shelf (just like 100 people buying 2 each). On the other hand you can fit like 10,000 cans of soup in the same space, so they don't go as quickly. The media loves a good story so they take shots of the empty toilet paper aisles and then it causes panic buying for no reason.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson apparently have coronavirus. Lol. I know this is getting off topic, but... seriously. What next.

I transferred a bunch of cash to my trading account. I'm lucky it hasn't got there yet.
Same here. I have shown amazing restraint. Had my finger on the buy button all day today wanting to push it but chickened out. I think we are legitimately headed for a 50% drop now though, like, Dow jones at 15k. Wrong forum to be discussing this but yeah... I kind of knew this was coming, as I have a major in Sociology and I enjoy studying populations and their behaviours and how people react to things. Once I saw the toilet paper going off the shelves and there wasn't even a single confirmed case in BC I knew it was all over.

Well, it was a fun ride. Tomorrow is probably going to be the biggest day in the drop of the stock market too. It's crazy out there...

Wow. NCAA March Madness games will all be played in empty arenas. Now it's only a matter of time...

"CancelEverything" is trending worldwide and in Canada. Basically immense pressure is going to be put on major organizations to cancel everything over the next month or so. I suspect we hear from the Canucks in the next few days. We have 6 home games left. I would be really surprised if they don't play them in front of an empty crowd.
Then, I suspect they will suspend playoffs until end of April and re-evaluate. Playoffs could end up being played over the summer.
Just my guess. Maybe I'm wrong. But at this point it seems inevitable.

Fansfirst has temporarily updated their payout policy, Payouts will be delayed until games are played, in case games are cancelled. I wonder if stubhub and ticket exchange will do so also?
Stubhub already did this a few days ago. Times are a changin'. Gonna hurt the ticket industry big time!

Top U.S. Health Official Recommends NBA Ban Fans from Games
A top U.S. health official has recommended that the NBA should play games without fans as the coronavirus continues to spread around the country.
Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said any event that allows large crowds increases the risk of spreading the virus, which is also known as COVID-19. The NBA has continued to allow fans to attend games while reportedly considering how to handle the outbreak.
“We would recommend that there not be large crowds,” Fauci said, according to the Wall Street Journal. “If that means not having any people in the audience when the NBA plays, so be it. But as a public health official, anything that has large crowds is something that would give a risk to spread.”
Fauci's statement was in response to a question about whether the NBA isn't doing enough to address coronavirus concerns, or whether the Ivy League overreacted when it canceled conference tournaments due to the coronavirus. Meanwhile, the MAC announced it would play its tournament without fans.
The NBA's board of governors is reportedly planning to meet Thursday to discuss the possibility of moving games to neutral cites and cities that have not yet been impacted by the coronavirus, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Other possibilities include removing fans from arenas for games and suspending play for a period of time, but those options are "complicated" while timetables for testing or vaccines are unknown.
The NBA is one of four major sports leagues to restrict media members and non-essential personnel from locker rooms. Players have also been recommended to limit contact with fans.

I follow the Bolts very closely and haven't heard anything to that affect. Where did you see that mentioned?
I saw it discussed in a few places and a wrestling site. Nothing specific to the Tampa Bay Lightning, but to the city of Tampa specifically. Much like San Jose, the city of Tampa may ban any large gatherings and the NHL would need to abide by this. I don't think they will do this lightly either, because there is much bigger fish at stake here (Wrestlemania etc). Here is one tweet I saw on it:

Yikes, at least we don't go to SJ again, that would be weird to see. Their STHs are probably thrilled 5 games refunded.
I would expect LA and Anaheim are going to follow suit quickly, then probably the NY Rangers and NY Islanders, and then maybe Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning. At that point the NHL might just shut it all down. Depends how things go this week....

San Jose sharks are the first team to have their home games cancelled for the rest of the season. Santa Clara County has put a ban on any mass gatherings and the San Jose sharks will have 3 home games affected. Fortunately for them they don't have to worry about playoffs

Ticket prices are taking a nose dive.
Probably a combo of the team taking a nose dive + corona virus concerns?
I sold off every ticket I planned to sell already cause I figured this would happen.

I'm trying to care about this game, but suddenly hockey seems irrelevant. Oil down to $28 a barrel lol.

US futures are frozen, they can't trade below around 5%. Expect the drop tomorrow to be much worse, maybe 10% or more. It's going to be an insane day and I suspect the market may be halted. Oil could drop into 20's tomorrow. This is a double whammy opec + coronavirus. Saudi's and russia will destroy US oil and of course Canadian oil for good. Alberta is probably going to go bankrupt. Fun times...

Are they that cheap? Then might not be bad. I don't drink or even eat at games, just a rip off.
From the 17.18 price guide:
$74.34 - LB2 Defensive No Alcohol
$86.98 - LB2 Defensive High Endzone
So you save $12 a seat. I am sure prices are similar this year.

Canucks just sent out an email to season ticket holders:

Hi,
The health and safety of our fans, players and staff is a top priority and it is important for us to keep you updated on the proactive steps we are taking at Rogers Arena as the ongoing Coronavirus issue evolves.
Although in Canada the risk of COVID-19 remains low, we are closely monitoring the situation and will implement all necessary safety measures as required. We are in daily communication with Provincial Health Services and the NHL to ensure we have the very best and latest information.
To date, we have taken the following proactive steps at Rogers Arena. We will continue to make immediate adjustments as necessary:- Added approximately 150 sanitizing stations throughout the arena
- Increased our cleaning staff and rigorous surface cleaning frequency and protocols
- Acquired specialty sanitizing equipment
- Added more educational signage encouraging fans to wash their hands, cough into their sleeves and to stay home if they are feeling sick.
We will continue to welcome our fans to Rogers Arena and are looking forward to an exciting final stretch as we push for the playoffs. We will also continue to take all precautionary measures to ensure your health and safety and we will update you as new information becomes available.
Sincerely,

if you want no-alcohol in 102, those should be very easy to get I imagine. But they are harder to sell if need be. 311/312 or 317/318 have cheaper no-alcohol. But again those are harder to sell. Personally I would grab the cheapest seats possible now, then go to relocation night.
I think non-alcohol seats in 102 are cheaper, aren't they? I recall seeing the price list last year and they were like $78 a seat or something crazy low. If that's the case it probably makes up for any loss in resale value. Frankly it's not worth drinking if the seats cost $10 more, plus $10 a drink. That's $50 for 4 beers. I'd almost rather get non-alcohol seats too and not have to worry about fights or drunks spilling beer on me, and then go out after the game and spend $50 at the pub and get some wings.
