Winter Classic Tickets: Hey, so there is a lottery after all

by Travis Hughes on Nov 17, 2011 3:30 PM EST in Philadelphia Flyers Tickets

Good news!

Remember that whole thing about how the Flyers didn't anticipate any public sale of Winter Classic tickets? Well, hey... there's a very slim chance that you can get your hands on some of the few tickets that will be made publicly available, after all.

The NHL announced today that there will be a lottery for tickets. You have ten days to enter this contest, beginning at 12 p.m. ET today and ending at 11:59 a.m. ET on November 27. You'll learn if you've won by December 1, and you'll have until December 8 to purchase the tickets you've won the right to buy. You can buy two tickets if you win.

Full official contest rules here. You can't enter if you live in Canada, which sucks. Must be 18 and live in one of the 50 states of the District of Columbia. Enter the contest here. Flood the thing so at the very least, Rangers fans don't get these.

Noticed this around 2 this afternoon. Had to get my name in there and hope that the pipe dream is fulfilled! Any way I look at it, I can’t see justifying $450+ for a ticket to the Classic.

Done, although I can imagine the tickets being on the lowest level behind the dugout. I sat there for the classic in Boston and had to watch the game on the big screen in the outfield.

Many will enter.

Few will win.

You can’t enter if you live in Canada….

It’s not like it’s their national sport. Next riot they’ll be burning Bridgestone Tires.

NHL home ice is giving away tickets, airfare, and cash to see the all star game…..canadien subscribers only. We’re even.

All very strange. I assume it’s a result of corporate laws in each country/state/province or something else that has nothing to do with the NHL.

It is a little tricky to find. The only link I know of (other than this one, now) is in the left sidebar on the main page. I’ve never seen it anywhere else.

In an even more off-chance of actually winning, WIP is having a guess the seat giveaway for a pair of tickets too. I would imagine the other radio stations here will be doing the same at some point.
