It's just frustrating that a 100km trip takes 5 hours, and there are no ferries late enough to get back to the island after the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t DRIVE home the same day. It actually is cheaper to fly to LA and catch two games than go to a single Canucks game from the island. I suspect the same fo other areas of BC. Unfortunately, only very few areas see the Canucks live. Penticton, Whistler are two prominent areas. Edited September 18, 2019 by sonoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You NEED to take the ferry, which is a several hour round trip if you're driving, more if you're walking on. On top of that, the ferry is ridiculously expensive, you're required to get a hotel because there are no sailings after the game has ended and you can't just drive home.

The only games most people on the Island can see are the afternoon weekend games. Which is like 2-3 a year tops lol. Unless your going to shell out for a hotel and spend a day and a half travelling for a single game. You have to catch an early afternoon boat.. bus into town.. get to your hotel.. go out for dinner. followed by the game then you have to commit the better part of half a day to get home. They have the cheap seaplane, hotel, ticket combo for like 250 or they did. but i don't do small planes lol. Unfortunately there are no sailings after games. Makes sense for bc ferries but stinks for us. I wish they had a walk ferries deal where you get hotel/game combos for cheap. Maybe toss in a two day - day pass? If you drive over your looking at 500 minimum. If you walk on its still gonna be close to 300 when your all said and done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got it bad on the island for how long it takes given how close we are, but not as bad as a lot of the province. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would almost rather that tho. Being able to sleep into the morning.. catch the game then drive home in the same day. Then again that is easy to say maybe not so easy to do lol.
