We're looking for any assistance in getting this message out there and getting partnerships established with airlines, radio stations, anyone who's interested in hockey. Everything goes well, we're going to giveaway a couple of seats to the preseason game in Vegas. More on that next week. OK final idea then i'll stop going to the university alumni offices (UBC, SFU, BCIT,etc) might be a good idea too, they're always organizing group deals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I just got back from Vegas on Wednesday, was there for a few days. My in-laws have a winter home there. I never saw any Golden Knights advertising anywhere. Never even saw the logo, until we were at the airport going home and they were selling t-shirts in a sports store. We'll definitely be going to a game or two, and might even try to get a Raiders game in on the trip too (whenever they start playing there). I expect a lot of drunk half naked people at those games lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely expect a lot of drunk, half naked people at the games Appreciate your feedback, we're really just starting to work on building out our engagement and finding out how many people that we can get interested. We want packages to be, full hotel, flight, transfers, etc. We want to try and do some type of social or mixer, hopefully with some of the hockey people and potentially even players. Make it as special of an experience as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayinblack Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hey I'd be down for this... but I'm in ON and the packages look like you have to leave from your team's city. Still be down for hanging with some other fans since they've been hard to come by in Leafs/Wings territory most of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNeil Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Sounds interesting. Going to be hard to beat Allegiant out of Bellingham for airfare. So much of it comes down to the schedule. We might play in Vegas twice next year. Could be a Tuesday night.....could also be expensive dates like NYE of during CES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't ruled out doing a deal with someone like Allegiant, but we're going to see what West Jet etc, have to say as well on this. This won't work during CES, a $29 per night hotel becomes a $500 per night hotel lol. Have been doing CES for a LONG time. Plan is to make this, much more than just a flight down though. We want to try and put together packages that people won't get anywhere else. Only way that works is by getting direct team involvement etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gong_8 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I like the idea of sitting with a group of Canucks fan. But would like to do my flight and hotel on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris12345 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I'm all over it. I already have a trip in November and March lined up. Honestly I'm hoping to not see the Canucks. I want to Pitt and Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beary Sweet Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I'd be interested by the idea. Watching Vegas and our team face off would be two teams very similar in terms of how it's being built. Both fast, young, and talented along with some skill. Maybe next time I head to Vegas and a game is played featuring possibly the Canucks and if not wouldn't mind watching any team play Vegas as I haven't been able to watch a hockey game other than depending on TV. Ticket prices are high here alone and with the exchange rate it may be cheaper here. Maybe if they lower the prices, I'd go watch one here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianRugby Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I watched the last UFC in Vegas. T-Mobile is a pretty sweet arena. A Canuck game is a good excuse to go to Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhdlois Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 My friend and I have already decided we will be going down to see a Canucks game. These are the thoughts I have ~ I prefer seats behind the visitors bench vs a suite. Most out of town supporters sit close to their team bench. Hopefully the game will be mid-week (cheaper hotels) and I prefer an extended stay i.e. 4-5 nights. (Sun-Thurs/Fri) What hotels are you considering? I have players cards at pretty much every hotel/chain so depends on the pricing whether we would just go down on our own, or be a part of your package. We will be leaving out of YVR There is/was a company that organizes game packages here...can't recall the name atm. They always organize a California road trip at least once a year, so you may have competition there. They advertise the trips on the Canucks website. ps......and if you could do something about the exchange rate, that would be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violator Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Like i said in the Vegas thread ill be going down during next season doesn't matter if its during the week or on the weekend.Just waiting for the schedule to be released before i book my trip.

Only problem for me is being a canuck fan while living in Calgary. This! Also is this reception/social idea going to be a way to meet the players? Or any sort of such ideas in mind?
