PowerPlayGoal.com is going to the NHL Premiere
This is more of a self gloss than a worthy news item; however anything that costs an absurd amount of money, planning and time all in the name of hockey is worthwhile news in my opinion.
The NHL unsurprisingly listed three games to be played outside the USA and Canada at the beginning of the 2010 / 2011 Season. We at PowerPlayGoal.com decided that it was high time we took a random jetset mini break to catch some NHL action (its rather hard to catch decent hockey on this side of the pond).
Astonishingly, just 2 days after they were announced, tickets for the match up in Stockholm (Blue Jackets vs. Sharks) were on sale!
Armed with an American Express card, the race was on to book some decent seats that wouldn’t cost us the earth.
However; Ticnet (a company owned by the infamous Ticketmaster company) refused to accept my Amex, or any card to be precised.
One phone call to Sweden late and I had secured two tickets to the NHL game. Seems they do not accept foreign cards online (take note anyone planning on going). All I had to do was transfer the money across to them from my bank (This cost a lot of money also).
One week later, the tickets arrived; and the trip was confirmed. PowerPlayGoal.com is off to Sweden.
A trip report will be written when we go. Roll on October!
Kev.
