Thanks. Ticketmaster is a blocked site for me at work for some reason. Would it be beneficial to buy in advance or can we just show up on game day?

Someone else will have to answer this. I was the beneficiary of tickets prior to the games in the 1st round. I mean the longer the Kings stick around in the playoffs the more tickets they are going to sell. I'd get them beforehand to be safe.

Probably a good idea. Thanks again.

They cost slightly more on game day I believe.

Plus if you are buying them at the game, you will have to stand in a lineup to get your tickets.

Thanks. I'll be cheering for Med Hat to win that series for an Edmonton-Medicine Hat showdown. Let's hope Bunz can steal that series.

For the poster who asked about buying on game day, avoid doing that. I got my tix yesterday for Friday and wanted around centre ice but got Kings' defensive blueline. There isn't much left.

the cost of a ticket has risen for this round FYI by about 2.50 per ticket. It's also impossible to find a set of 3 in the cheap sections (as I'm currently trying to buy some for friday) so that's a good sign I guess...except I can't get the tickets I need

But instead of this being true, it's not.

SEMI-USELESS UPDATE: got my sets of tickets for friday and saturday. even with having to shell out for club seats it's still less than 60 bucks per person for 2 sets of 3.

that's a damned fine bargain for the amount of entertainment you get.

It's really that you'll get much better seats if you buy in advance. If they open the upper bowl and you buy in advance, you'll probably get tickets in the first few rows with the padded back seating. Wait until game day and you'll probably be 10-15 rows up, and they also add $2-3 on to the ticket price.

Edit: Anyone that's looking to purchase a pair in the lower bowl, there's a pair on kijiji right now for $50. Just a heads up for everyone so that someone can save 25 bucks.

I wonder if they're going to open the upper bowl anytime soon considering there's no pairs left in the first two price levels. I would assume there would be much more tickets sold if they had tickets available that were cheaper than $36.50. Does anyone think there's a chance that they don't open the second bowl at all? That would be a pretty huge disappointment considering they had quite a bit of the second bowl full last round. I believe fundraising vouchers were allowed to be used for the first round of the playoffs, so I guess it wouldn't be too much of a shock if there's less people this round because of the cheap vouchers not being available anymore.

Sorry meant to say in the east division. But the Wheaties and Oil Kings had almost identical records the last 2 months of the season.

So don't get your panites in a wad

and dont get them in a wad once the Oil Kings start to lose

Why wouldn't they show Team Canada player Mark Stone against the league leading team? Don't understand how they decide on the series they show. Probably not showing the West since they would have to travel to the states.

Yikes. Shaw is really dropping the ball here. Pathetic.

I'll be at the game tomorrow. I'm hoping to see a giant Oil Kings logo (and a win, duh) at centre ice replacing the symbol for failure also known as the Oil Drop.

Have now been told the logo will NOT change for the Oil Kings. Interesting, Oilers change it for Hockey Canada but not their own Jr. team.
Well that's lame.

Yeah, it seems a little weird that they wouldn't let the oil kings "take over" the barn in a symbolic way like that for what could be a very long run in the playoffs.

Really no reason for them not to. If the Oil Kings make the WHL final and that Oilers logo is still there, it's going to look retarded

Lets not jump all over them yet. Changing the logo on the ice is not an overnight process. I feel that the fact they had less then 24 hours between the Oilers last home game and the first game of the second round has more to do with it not being done then them actually not wanting to do it
