Oiler Tickets
Hey guys... Where do you get cheap oiler tickets?
Here in Calgary we have 3rd level seating for like $35 a seat. We buy them through Co Op or Sport Chek.
I am needing 4 tickets (Generally together) for the Black Hawks game on the 29th. Anyone have any leads?
It's my son and 3 friends who are going.
Thanks
Jamie

Cheap. And Oilers tickets. Don't go together.... Or at least since they moved into Rogers.
Maybe someone knows better than me. Last time I priced out 4 Oilers tickets on Ticketmaster it was around $600.

Yeah, I am just under that right now. That doesn't seem to make sense.

I think you will be SOL if you want a cheap ticket to the New and Mighty Ice Palace of McJesus & the Rest of the Team. Somebody has to pay for a season of completely dominating mediocrity, and it's the frothing at the mouth crowd who fill the stands..... 
Bait set, and Bessiedog and Brenden's Dad should be showing up shortly......

How do kids go to these games?
The future flames fan base is sitting in nose bled seats and happy to be there. It's $35... Is there no "Family Zone" ?

The kids watch the Oil Kings...great hockey, played in the wonderful monument to Katz 😡 and $30 a ticket.
All that and they win more than the Oilers!

Edmonton has no Family Zone, as most Oilers fans aren't really that sure of their lineage. That's the word on the street anyway.....
Bait is doubled down, how long before Bessie reacts......?

That's too far. But they can still be cousins.

I turned down opportunities to watch games for free in corporate boxes, I certainly wouldn't pay those kind of prices to watch a game in Edmonton.

Lowest priced nose bleed oilers ticket is over 100$ each
if you want to watch mcjesus in the temple we built him
Family games are for the oil Kings games (WHL) in Edmonton, not for NHL games, still in the temple, but no mcjesus (or his disciples) will grace the ice

Went to a game this year on free company tickets.( price of each ticket was nuts) I haven't been in years, loud music, more bright lights then Las Vegas, and local radio and sport jockeys yelling into mikes thinking their the biggest celebrities to hit town. In there some where was a 4-1 loss to ???. If you want to take someone to a hockey GAME , do the Oil Kings, you might watch hockey instead of a three ring circus.

That would have been fun my friend. Unfortunately he is back at work. (Busing tables is the life blood of a 16 year old)
I am still not sure how I feel about him and 3 buddies heading 3 hours north to stay at his friends parents rental condo and hanging out at the mall. They are all 16 and all good kids. I think I am unsure because I know what I was doing then. Admittedly, he has never done a thing wrong that would make me not trust him. Good kid, good friends, keeps busy with work and hockey, good marks, respectful. And yet I am still not sure....
One thing that bugs me is that I have always been the parent that pushed boundaries. I let him drive at 1, I trusted him on the LRT at 12. But this seems like a stretch... Funny, I don't know if I would have a problem if he told me they were going skiing for the weekend... I am finding all this tough to take..

Looks like Edmonton didnt give the Flames a big enough lead. Not very challenging.

I “borrowed” a truck at 13 and drove 1100 km round trip with 3 girls to see AC/DC.....
Don’t worry about him at WEM. LOL

35 bucks to watch the flames? Lmao! Whatever it takes to fill the seats I guess. A show of supply and demand at its finest. If Calgary could fill the seats at double the cost, they would be doing it. I spent more on girl guide cookies today. L

Cheapest Oiler tickets are for sale in Phoenix.
As for letting him go?
Give him, the drive safe, don’t drink, safe sex talk and let him go.
Man up so he can.

So, Oilers fans are willing to pay a huge premium on a product that is still 3 points inferior to the Flames. Guess that's all part of the delusion.....

Maybe they should play each other to see who wins.

Maybe Oilers fans should deal with the reality of trailing the Flames all season?

You realize that we are 3 points behind but play each other 3 more times? That puts the oil 3 points up!

At what point will an Oilers fan live in reality? Rebuilding for 10 years, mcJesus gonna save us, plan the parade....and always counting points in advance because.....? Gonna talk about how the 'Shames' suck, but still trailing all season. Go have a drink, and enjoy the fantasy parade. Happy New Year.
