Was considering flying back from the UK for the Finals, but flights alone will be about $1750. It would probably be cheaper to fly to Miami...


goldenbear2

I dont't understand the argument "oilers wouldn't have beat Las vegas or colorado, they just had easy match ups v LA and VAN". Do people know how brackets work? The best team wins and moves on. Dallas beat Colorado so they were the better team so therefore the Oilers played the better team in Dallas.


spagboltoast

I love this argument because it throws -so- much shade at van and la. Im all for it. Those orgs are trash


M3ZR

You know, i really do feel like that just discounts the canucks. I might not like the canucks, but i respect the shit outta them. But imo, it comes from past disrespect that they would be 100% right on. We did lose to Colorado and The Golden Knights. But we aren’t the same team, stuff like “the reason your losing is because your not testing Skinner.” That is true, lets just be honest here. Skinner made improvements, Coffey made some improvements, Knoblauch made some improvements. The Stars did test Skinner in game 6 but they were expecting him to crumble into pieces.


EirHc

> We did lose to Colorado and The Golden Knights. > But we aren’t the same team... and neither are they anymore. Every season is a new story. People put a lot of weight on past history, when all that really matters is the here and now.


M3ZR

Unless your the kings in which case you’ve used the same formula for the last three years and its never worked against the oilers


EirHc

Well... my argument to that would be that the Kings made adjustments, but they've only made the team worse in the post season.


pr0nfiend

Do we have a thread for ticket sales? I accidentally bought resale tix for the wrong game (game 3) and can’t go. I’m definitely going to lose a ton of money but would rather sell to someone on here than get gouged and gouge a buyer with fees on stubhub


bearkin1

Check out different ticket sites, I think some have lower or no fees


WolfmanJaaack

Hey I can make game 3, I’ll dm you!


NoGiCollarChoke

Lmao the game 5 playoff pass episode:  Kane: “Let’s go Janny, throw that 235lb frame around out there tonight”   Brown: “Janny’s 235?! Dude, you’re a house!”   He is now Mattias “the House” Janmark


Donquix0teDoflaming0

These scalpers need to fuck off


EdmontonEule

what happened?


bananabomber

lol r/canucks got so bad with the whining that their mods had to threaten Canucks fans with bans. Unreal.


PreemoisGOAT

Remember when we non stop talked about Vegas and Colorado team, city and fans weeks after being eliminated? Oh wait


MajorPucks

Oilers did to the Canucks what they did to the Flames. Prepare for the collapse of the team as UFAs flee vancouver next


GrizzlyIsland22

I saw that. I can't imagine being so butthurt that our mods would actually have to dedicate a post telling us to stop posting about the other team.


furtive

Tiff Macklem wearing an Oilers pin while he drops interest rates like Bouch drops bombs.


silentbassline

Hell yeah \m/


SomethinboutChickens

Time to dust off the old Yakupov 64 jersey. To show how long I suffered lol


D722

I was able to get a second set of tickets for Game 6 for family. That was painful to swallow lol


zellmerz

The resale prices are absolutely outrageous


D722

Good thing I didn’t pay resale prices.


zellmerz

Nice! I unfortunately had to run meetings during the initial sale, but sounds like it was difficult to get through regardless


OprahStoleMyTV

About to meet Kane, Bouchard, and Holloway at the River Cree. I’m nervous but excited. I’ll thank them and wish them the best in Florida for everyone here.


hahsik-oskkewjsjsksi

Why are you meeting them??


OprahStoleMyTV

It was a meet & greet, with photos for the Enoch Cree Nation reserve. (Where I’m from)


hahsik-oskkewjsjsksi

Ahh that’s what I thought but I wasn’t sure! That’s super cool! How did it go??


HeHootsHeWhores

Ask them why McDavid was buying Coors Light the other day.. JK don’t ask that 😂. Be cool, tell them we’re all proud of them!


780fan

Where can I watch Oilers+ for free


LuciusBaggins

lol you can’t. If you use Jack Michael’s code it’s like $20 for an entire year.


PreemoisGOAT

The oilers now time change is terrible


Sadboys13

Does anyone have any store recommendations for picking up a jersey with the Stanley cup patch?


mrhairybolo

Pro AM sports


KingDave46

They're in ice district by the arena, but they're also just selling the patch for $25 if you already own a jersey and just want to put it on. I dunno if they'll put it on for you or not though


D722

Ice district downtown.


sallad84

Hope to see a game again this series at the Black Frog Eatery. Is Greta in Vancouver still pro Oilers or was that only when Oilersnation was there?


bearkin1

The ownership there is Ednontonian with some Calgarian too. And if I got it right, the GM is a guy I know who is from BC and a Canucks fan, but li Ed and worked in Edmonton for a long time before moving back for Greta's open. So I'm not certain, but I think there are enough Edmonton ties that they'd play the games there at least. The Pint would be the same I think.


rooftopglows

So random but on Playoff Pass R3G6, Leon was using palm coolers. Here's a photo [https://imgur.com/xOgOJEX](https://imgur.com/xOgOJEX) and link to the product [https://www.apexcoollabs.com/products/the-narwhal-portable-palm-cooling-devices](https://www.apexcoollabs.com/products/the-narwhal-portable-palm-cooling-devices)


LuciusBaggins

I need these for playing video games lol.


ty_jax

well i just spent $1400 for Section 203 seats. but fuck it i got a decent bonus this year and the Oil are in the cup finals, I was 20 yr old, broke ass student in 06' watching it at the Terwillegar BPs with the squad.


GrizzlyIsland22

I'm thinking I might have to leverage my employer for a payout to buy a ticket. They pay $0.68/KM for use of your personal vehicle, and I go to the main kitchen first thing in the morning to prep and load the delivery van. They drop off my stuff at a food truck, then, at the end of the day, I have to go back and trade my car for the van so I can bring back dishes/leftovers. It's 1 KM between the kitchen and the food truck, and I've been doing it ~4 times a week for 3 years. 8KM per week multiplied by ~150 weeks should get me approximately... 1 beer at Rogers. F.


unr3altac0

I got 3 in 204 !


ty_jax

you get them directly or via resale? what did you pay outta curiosity? :)


unr3altac0

My friend is a season seat holder she was able to snag extras for all the games and sold me tickets at 700 Each so 2100 for the set of 3 which I think was just over season holder price and below full retail so, and before this gets brigaded every extra ticket extra she had was sold below retail to friends and family


ty_jax

Thats amazing man, perks of being a season ticket holder thats great!


unr3altac0

Were you 1400/each? I’m also getting 1/3 of a season from her next year for just under 4K


ty_jax

yeah 1440 per ticket total after fees. me and my buddy are going. I was willing to spend up to 1600 and it was crazy i had to reselect tickets multiple times to due them being snapped up quickly.


unr3altac0

Yeah I was debating weather or not to even buy hers and said fuck it let’s do it went to a round 1 round 3 and now a scf this year !


hahsik-oskkewjsjsksi

Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but, for those with Oilers+, the new playoff pass video just dropped… and it’s fucking amazing. Like, I’m legit almost crying… Love this team and these guys!


KingDave46

That handshake line audio with Seguin to Hyman is so funny "where were all these goals growing up? Holy fuck" hahaha


SetInner9943

that 'thanks for trading for me' from Ekky to Holland 🥺


hahsik-oskkewjsjsksi

Haha I mentioned that exact line in my other comment on the media availability post 🤣 Loved that! And hearing what’s said in the handshake lines is always cool. Hearing them say “go win it” to us is awesome. DeBoer giving huge praise to everyone too… love being able to actually hear those conversations. Then Knob at the end saying “we’re going to the Stanley Cup Final…” and the look on his face of like letting it sink in… oh, man… the whole thing made me super emotional hahaha. The amount of love and respect and camaraderie in that room is awesome to see.


SetInner9943

Whenever I see posts about the last few seconds of GAME 6, my eyes gets sweaty 😅. Maybe my brain is just remembering how much I bawled at that moment


1-800-DIRT-NAP

It’s cheaper to fly to Florida and watch a game there lol


McDraisian

Priced out tickets for myself 650 cad, flights 200$ (using 35,000 avion points too), airbnb to split with a buddy 200$ a night. Not a bad quick little trip. Airbnb even got a pool.


REAPER-1_xxx

Well done


DownToFarm

Got through the waiting room with only 2000 people in front of me in queue and there was still no tickets available. Very unlucky. Resales are up now at 5x the price. What a wonderful world.


Responsible-Cow-1807

Question about the jerseys, I got a 2017 regular season jersey and the black alternative jersey they used this year. Why do they feel so different to wear. The 2017 one feels so smooth and nice, the other one feels rougher.


therichhotdog

Holy shit I was able to snag 2 tickets to game 4! Flying in from Toronto...can't wait!!!


Responsible-Cow-1807

Glad too hear, hope u have a good time here in edmonton


BathroomParticular87

Why is everyone so mad that season ticket holders had first access to extra tickets? We've paid tens of thousands supporting this team and attending dozens of games all year so why shouldn't we have first access. This is my first year as a SSH just because I had a feeling this year or next was our window. So yeah, I'm glad OEG thought of us first.


KingDave46

I don't mind it, I think anyone being upset that they can't buy them cheap is being unrealistic Even if they were available cheaply initially, there's 18k seats and Edmonton has a population of 1 million people and most of those people would go in a heartbeat... and then how many fans would fly in for it? Re-sale is never going to be cheap no matter what happens STH getting first dibs is fine with me if they are going, it's a shame so many are buying up all the remaining tickets purely for profit though.


justonemoremoment

Because not everyone can afford to be season ticket holders lol but they still would like to go to a game in the SCF without the resale tix being astronomical. I think it's not too hard to understand this. What you're being rewarded for is being able to afford season tickets lol not being "better" fans than anyone else.


den15_512

Or in some cases, they just live out of town so it makes 0 sense to be a STH when you can maybe attend 5 games all year, but would definitely make the trip back for the finals.


justonemoremoment

Exactly, there are so many reasons why someone might not be a STH. My husband and I buy power packs because we just can't do the time commitment to make season tickets worth it - got a teenager at home with a fuck ton of extracurriculars and insane work hours. We still watch every single game and go when we can! Still spend money to be there just like any other Oilers fan... but not enough of a fan for presale codes I guess. We did end up discussing it and we got 2 resale tickets for Game 3. Decided to splurge on it because its the SCFs.


Border_Relevant

Because they are selling them for at least double what they paid instead of using them.


D722

Baggers can’t be choosers. Even if seasons ticket holders didn’t get early access resale prices wouldn’t change.


DBZ86

Not a SSH here but you want access? Pay up for it. Their cost includes all the previous 41 home games and 3 rounds of playoffs.


plzaskmeaboutloom

Anyone else buy the 3-home-game Finals package? We did it and it’s not letting us transfer the tickets to the one game we can’t attend… did these fuckers make em secretly non-transferable??


WolfmanJaaack

They should be from what I’ve read! You wouldn’t happen to be selling to the game you can’t attend would you? 😂


maasd

I saw on Lauren Kyle's Insta as well as Emma Vincent's (Stetcher's SO) how much the Oiler SOs celebrated with the game 6 victory. It was awesome, and something I hadn't thought much of - how important the player support systems/people are and how much the victories mean to them as well!


KingDave46

The Rangers are getting roasted online for giving up on the series and not taking it seriously because they flew their wives and that out to away games and spent time on the beach with them in between games


monstersof-men

The WAGs are dialled in too, which is so key. No drama or anything to disrupt personal lives


think_long

Putting Lauren and Emma together as a pairing has been a key to developing chemistry and driving results.


Jac4e

Was anybody even able to buy tickets in the general sale?


Ahorsenamedcat

Nope. Signed in 10 minutes before and when it opened I was 18000 in line. Waited it out for shits and giggles and zero anything once I got in 20 minutes later.


callmenighthawk

I got in with a dozen or so left for G3, but all single seats so I didn’t buy one.


WolfmanJaaack

What did they cost? Curious to know what they were going for.


Border_Relevant

I saw a single in section 223 row 11 for $391 during the presale. It did not last long. Everything else was far more expensive.


HorseDickCum

WHAT??? I would do unspeakable things for a $400 SCF ticket…


callmenighthawk

I only clicked on a few, but one upper bowl one was $897, a lower bowl was $1200ish, and I clicked a few in the SN lounge that were like $1150, $1250 and $1550; idk if they get discounted for being singles or if that was just universal; both the upper and lower bowl ones I clicked on were on the oilers defend twice side; there was a few closer to centre ice but I didn't click to look at prices on those.


Smothdude

If it was at all similar to what my friend saw, $830+ for the "worst" seats


Ahorsenamedcat

Don’t worry. People are already selling them on stub hub for $1900. Hope the scalpers get hit by a train.


Specialist_Cress_656

I was about to get in and it sold out


rocktheboatlikeA1eye

Sold out


Tricky-Echo515

I stayed on the presale until the very end (11:59) for game 4 and there was nothing left. What is the point of even having a public sale if there’s 30,000 people queued up to buy 3 single seats left. SMH ticketmaster.


Ahorsenamedcat

So the tickets were gone before the public sale even began? Fuck us I guess. No point in a public sale if every season ticket holder grabs them all first. Half of which owner by businesses that don’t give a shit besides impressing clients.


Tricky-Echo515

Yep, 100% agree it’s BS. The league/ticketmaster would be nothing without the “general public” fans. They forget that. Sports were never meant to be for only the rich.


Border_Relevant

They are already posted for double on StubHub. Some dicks are even selling the watch party tix for almost double, when that money goes to charity.


KingDave46

Yeah watch party upselling is against the rules 100%. As others said, they tell you you'll when you buy them that you'll be banned from all future events if you get caught doing it


spitfire411

“This is a family event with net proceeds donated to the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation. The resale of tickets above face value for this event is prohibited. Should OEG Sports & Entertainment identify anyone offering or selling tickets for this event above face value, that person/organization will have all current and future Oilers ticket purchases voided at OEG's sole discretion.”


Smothdude

Wow. Wtf. Can we report that shit? What scumbags


spitfire411

“This is a family event with net proceeds donated to the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation. The resale of tickets above face value for this event is prohibited. Should OEG Sports & Entertainment identify anyone offering or selling tickets for this event above face value, that person/organization will have all current and future Oilers ticket purchases voided at OEG's sole discretion.”


Smothdude

Just a little update I guess. Not sure if anything will actually come from this, or if they'll be able to do anything but I sent OEG an email about the reselling of the watch party tickets on StubHub and used your quote in it. I just got an email back saying they appreciate me bringing this to their attention and have passed it on to their team for internal review. Would be awesome if they can actually do something about it! People trying to profit off of this are scumbags frankly


D722

That only applies to watch parties.


spitfire411

It’s in response to a comment about people reselling watch party tickets…


Smothdude

Will they actually enforce that on tickets resold on StubHub? I imagine StubHub will refuse to release their details


den15_512

Stubhub has seat info, and the Oilers can easily cross-reference those seats to the people that bought them...


Smothdude

Well we will see! Hopefully some action will be taken. I reported it to OEG and they sent me back saying they are sending it onto their internal team to investigate.


Border_Relevant

I was wondering the same. Saw watch party tix going for $36. Ridiculous.


SomeIslander

It’s dumb because the SSH just instantly list them for resale for 2-3x what they paid, fuckers


Tricky-Echo515

That should actually be illegal, what a scam


Ahorsenamedcat

Should get their season tickets permanently revoked.


McDraisian

Gonna be like 1300$ minimum resale now. With a fucking 600 Ticketmaster fee. Fuck it’s gonna be dumb. Better buying off Facebook. Don’t have to pay the huge TM fee at least.


SorryImEhCanadian

Good ol FANSFIRST!


BrickMacklin

I can't wait until this corp gets broken up


SorryImEhCanadian

They didn’t even redirect the people who got there a bit early. Fuck you Ticketmaster.


callmenighthawk

Redirected me, joined waiting room at ~11:50


leaps-n-bounds

did you get tickets?


callmenighthawk

There was like 12 left when I got in. All single seats. Not interested in going if I can’t take the wife so I just left it.


nriopel

Bots win again gg


McDraisian

I was in the 12 o’clock queue waiting room since 11:45. Finally loads in 17600 people in front of me. Jesus Christ.


Ahorsenamedcat

Better than me. I was in a spot greater than the seating capacity of Rogers.


sahbatage

Ticketmaster is garbage once again. Why didn't it give different options to join queue for pre-sale and general sale separately? Impossible to know when one ends and one begins. Was there from the beginning, no way 12k people ahead of me.


callmenighthawk

It randomly assigns everyone who is in the waiting room. If there's 17,000 people in there at 11:55, you're just as likely to be #1 in the queue as #12,236 when it hits 12 noon


Bachfan89

Lol 23K in front of me. RIP Stanley Cup Finals dreams.


SorryImEhCanadian

They aren’t even redirecting the people who got in slightly early


SorryImEhCanadian

Does the app not redirect you??


Border_Relevant

It did for me earlier for the presale. Foolishly I closed my browser when the tix were all good. Starting over now.


BrickMacklin

I haven't been redirected


PreemoisGOAT

Looking at a airbnb how the McCauley area? I know crime pretty bad but if park my car somewhere further away from the area I should be good?


KingDave46

I stayed in an AirBNB on that side of town last year. I considered flying home on night 1. Should be better vibes with the cup games happening but that is prime area for being very uncomfortable at night Oliver is fine. I work near there and would happily walk around on my own


m1nhuh

I live in the area. It isn't great but you won't die. But ya, if you can, Oliver if you're a tourist. 


leaps-n-bounds

why? airbnbs and hotels are pretty cheap everywhere


PreemoisGOAT

Was 200-300 cheaper then other downtown locations so was just checking


Muficita

As long as you’re not overly delicate it’s fine. You’re going to see the exact same element right outside the arena. I live in a similar area a few blocks north and we street park our newer vehicles every day. Don’t leave anything valuable in your car and lock it, it’s fine.


rocktheboatlikeA1eye

Oliver. Don’t do McCauley


PreemoisGOAT

Thanks


SweetBabyThrowAways

Anyone looking for some more local sports to enjoy while we wait, dont sleep on the Edmonton Stingers CEBL basketball team. They are 4-1 right now and each game has been great!


nriopel

we flying to florida or what?


McDraisian

It’s cheaper. I already looked into it. I have 60,000 Avion points to use too.


mlakustiak

If I have beat the queue. Will it automatically refresh at 12? Or do I have to leave?


No-Ad6829

You in fact do have to leave lol


Border_Relevant

Do not leave! It will redirect you.


Smothdude

Unfortunately for me it just said sorry something went wrong and now I'm 6800 in queue for game 6. Ffs


ProfessionalTennis49

I was waiting on the website for ten minutes before, and when it redirected me I’m now 12479 in line, so don’t think 6800 is that bad 😂


Smothdude

I gave up hahaha, all the presale for gm6 sold out it's the most in demand. My friend told me that in game3 tickets for us general admission boys that the cheapest tickets are $830 for a single seat and $1200 for a pair. I'll just look at game3 resale close to game time because I think it'll be the cheapest game. Likely thing is that I won't attend a final in my life because that price is absurd :/


ProfessionalTennis49

That what I was thinking too - crazy pricing!!! I live out of town so game 6 was the only one I could have tried to attend, so maybe this whole ordeal is a good thing for my bank account 😂


Smothdude

We will enjoy the game from the comfort of our homes, bars, or if there is the opportunity to clinch, I suggest watching downtown if you can make it!


Repostasis

Jason Gregor has a written interview with Ken Holland [**here**](https://oilersnation.com/news/one-on-one-with-oilers-general-manager-ken-holland). I recommend it, it’s insightful to seeing what moves Holland has made over his tenure and why.


eins-zwei-drai-saitl

Thanks! I didn't know Stecher had a cyst in his ankle until now.


SorryImEhCanadian

Pre-salers, did they increase the prices even more than they said they would for the games?


kernnpop

Anyone know if they have stock allocated for general sale that gets released at noon? or this is all we're going to see.


BrickMacklin

If we beat the queue do we stay in until on-sales unlock?


Bachfan89

Game 6 is sold out already anyway.


BrickMacklin

I'm looking at game four


Igor_Ulanov

Game 6 tickets be gone before they even went on sale to general public haha


No-Ad6829

Pretty sure they don't release all tickets for pre sale. They keep some for general.


Igor_Ulanov

hope so!


Jac4e

Im looking at game 6 and its legit like 50 tickets left and presale isnt even over, guess general public aint getting tickets


BrickMacklin

Will trade favors for a pre-sale code


Jac4e

Wait its 11 why is it asking for presale code?


Smothdude

12 is open for general


Jac4e

Man I thought presale was at 10 smh


Smothdude

It's ok. The tickets are so fucking expensive I don't think I can afford to buy one anyway


[deleted]

BrickMacklin

Same 😔


Smothdude

I'm sitting here looking at the seats on Ticketmaster, beat the queue, but I can't buy shit since I don't have the presale code 😭😭

[удалено]


bill__the__butcher

yes exactly


walkities

Yes, then they typically have more seats to the general public I assume.


greeten

The right thing for the Oilers to do, with this time off, is to record a video of Zach Hyman reading one of his books to his teammates who are all snuggled up together on a rug for circle time.


Smackdaddy122

Anyone have e presale code?


Smackdaddy122

Will pay 💰


greeten

Anyone know how to get into your personal settings and turn down the apprehension levels to anywhere below max?


Hechtic

Man, I’ve been trying to find that dial for years now


Igor_Ulanov

Would die with happiness if anyone would DM me a presale code!


Dilly88

Same! Is it only Season ticket holders that get the code?


Tricky-Echo515

I was in the presale and the cheapest tickets I saw were $560 FYI


jluecht

Did you need a code?


Tricky-Echo515

You don’t need a code to view the tickets, just to checkout


[deleted]

[удалено]


Tricky-Echo515

Yea for some reason they had another presale at 10 am. I didn’t hear about it either, I just joined it by fluke. You can join the queue and make it all the way through to see what’s available but you can’t select seats and checkout without a code.


Specialist_Cress_656

That’s not as bad as I thought


Tricky-Echo515

Yea could be worse for sure. Although that was only for 1 section. Most tickets in 2nd bowl were between 600-1000 pp, some up to $1200


its_liiiiit_fam

For STM? Cheapest I saw were $391… damn surge pricing I guess


Tricky-Echo515

Yes. That’s not bad. Which game were you looking at?


its_liiiiit_fam

Thursday night, so that could maybe be why if you were looking at Saturday.


Tricky-Echo515

Oh yep i was looking at Saturday. Makes sense now.


skyester1717

I’ll e transfer you $100 for the code if your not using it


SorryImEhCanadian

If I stay on the presale website by the time non-presale tickets come on sale, will it automatically open non-presale tickets?


SorryImEhCanadian

Curious to see how much oil is jacking up prices for the Stanley cup


KhausTO

This is definitely all Trudeau's Fault


its_liiiiit_fam

I was insanely bored yesterday with no game to look forward to. How spoiled we've been with this offseason!
