whats the point? the ticket office opens at noon right? so why don't they just call reseau admission at noon instead of wasting their time??

[Bob Bastards]

They do the same thing for the Madonna ticket and the system seems to have work at perfection.
No need to camp, no scalper reseling ticket 10 times the price, its good buisness.

No, let say the number selected in the draw is 2000. Whoever has that number will get his tickets first followed by 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 etc...will get in line in that order. 1999 Will be the last person to have a chance to score some tickets

[Madevilz]

omg that sux hardcore lol

so there is no point in camping then

[BLONG7]

Just saw on canadians.com that the prices for seats have gone up for the playoffs...is this always the case? Do season ticket holders get first option at the price they pay all year? Man, the scalpers must make some serious cash now...

this is the worst system ever, I heard some people got their wristband at around 10 AM and got out with tickets. *** is this. Real fans camp outside. PHUCK!

[JMMR]

Yeah I like the camp outside deal as well.
It shows more effort then getting a braclet!

From what I understand, they say she arrived 20 minutes before her number was picked. She probably got her wristband yesterday before 18:00 like everyone else.
