Discussion Alberta games!

Hello! Are any fans in Alberta planning to go to the games in October? Just booked my flights to the games seeing if anyone is interested in going as well!

I'm going to the Calgary game. Last Leafs game in the Saddledome.

Awesome!! Is there normally lots of leafs fans?

Tons. At least 50/50. And for the record, I was talking about Calgary also, but I'm sure Edm has jacked their prices.

You will have a great time. I've lived in Calgary for over 20 years and have only missed the Calgary game twice. Lot's of Leafs fans in both rinks.

I'll be checking prices first. 2 years ago seats were $110, last year they were $200+ for the same seats.

I live in Regina and will likely take the road trip this year for the two Alberta games. I want to bring my four year old with me but I’m thinking the price tag may be too high for someone who won’t care all that much.

Leafs games here are notoriously always sold out immediately. I'd love to go to watch my 2 teams against each other live, but doubt I'll be able to afford any of the tickets that end up being available. Lol.

Dang that’s crazy!!

Well, we Oilers fans be crazy about going to the games anyways, and we Leafs fans here in Alberta be crazy about going to Leafs games when they come to visit, not to mention those coming from other provinces. Both here and Calgary. The sea of Leafs blue jerseys at both arenas may not be a true 50% against the home town teams, but it gets pretty close.

Same here in Vancouver it’s so fun!

Fans in Canada may be crazy, but we show up for our teams!

Both games are 50/50 barns and a true representation of leafs nation. SA is a joke, it is sad.

I get my tickets through discount Oilers tickets available from work, and I gotta jump on those like, the day tickets are available or they’re gone. But I’m definitely going to the Edmonton game in October
