This could be the sleeper game of the year. (Similar to the Detroit Sunday Matinee from last season) 19 hours ago, BCNeil said: Monday and Tuesday just suck. I'm surprised the Vegas game in April is reg+, that could be a good game. Yeah the New Jersey game and the Las Vegas game (last game of the year on a Saturday) struck me as good deals for sure. The other one that struck me as a "WTF?" moment is the THU.DEC.19 game against Las Vegas being just a REG game. Would have thought REG+ for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaldBrashear Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Presale codes just went out for all 5 pre-season games including Victoria and Abbotsford. Wow. They are giving full access to Victoria seats ahead of the reg sale, didn't see that coming. I was able to snag some front row A tickets to the Victoria game! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that is odd, we never get access to those games. Usually games in other cities sell pretty well on their own. So fast this year. Maybe ticketexchange will open soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Abby might not sell out. Victoria is going to benefit from having the full training camp there before the first pre-season game, so that is a plus. Canucks seem on the ball this year for sure anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty stoked about this yesterday too, as I wanted seven tickets together, and got excellent seats - I didn't think it would be possible. I had been stressing about having to wait for public access next week, and now it looks like there might not even be any tickets left by then for Victoria. A lot less stress on my part. Can't wait to see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I hope that the NHL and the Canucks won't copy the NFL with their latest ticket policies because it's getting really complicated for an old fart like me. I'm more than halfway through my journey of attending a home game of every single 32 NFL teams. First of all they stopped a little while ago the traditional printed tickets, then they no longer allowed the pdf printed tickets, for the past couple of years it was mobile tickets only but you could still do a screenshot of your ticket and not worry about data (for a Canadian like me travelling in the US). This year? No more screenshots because the bar code changes every 5 or 15 seconds. I will need to connect to the internet before entering the stadium. What are they going to change for next year? Are they going to use finger prints or DNA? I can't imagine a 70 year old, not tech savvy, having to deal with all that. It's really getting annoying and ridiculous.

Curt Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 NFL tailgating is a huge thing in several NFL cities. In the past, I was filming, taking pictures, having fun. Now I have to worry about my battery because if my phone goes dead, I can't get into the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I am going to the Vegas game this year....looks like a pain in the ass to get in. Hope they have free wifi outside the arena. But yeah traditional tickets are done, we are one of the only teams that provide them free, some teams charge for them, or not offer them at all. PDF's are done. Stubhub has way more mobile transfer listings that electronic now. It's much better for buyers to just have the live tickets transferred to their own account.

The card is only for season ticket holder. The card is good for all home games. If you give it to someone else, you need to get it back because the card entitles you to enter the stadium for every single game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaldBrashear Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 There is obviously more motives behind this move than security. The big ticketmaster wants to get its CUT of the secondary market and it can't do that if hard copy tickets exist. Also, teams want info and they want to track everything. By having mobile tickets, they can track how many tickets a person sells/transfers per year and weed out scalpers. The Canucks were going to eliminate hard copy tickets 3-4 years ago but they backed out because ticket sales fell and they were worried about a backlash. My guess is that as soon as season tickets are sold out they will go to a paperless system like the rest of the teams. So enjoy the hard copy tickets while they last. This may, in fact, be the last year... would be fitting to end hard copy tickets on the 50th anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
