I live in Calgary too but everytime I go to a game in Edmonton I always see people selling tickets outside the arena...esp if it's a Battle of Alberta or another game that it's hard to get tickets for.

k good thanks for the input
some buddies and i are planning on going up there this weekend
but we dont have tickets,
so were just going to go that route...
taking a risk,
but we can always find a pub i guess if there aren't any tickets...

If you show up around puck drop you can usually pick up tickets from the scalpers for less than face value.

really??
eff its just such a gamble you know
go all the way up there in hopes of going to the game...

i checked stubhub, there are some tickets on there
but they are for more than face value,

i'll check 780tuners but im not a member

It's risky but about 5 mins after the game starts if scalpers have any seats left they get desperate and will sell them for like 1/3 face value. Which is better than being 5 mins early and paying 3X face value.

go on HFBoards.com, in the Oilers subforum, at the top there is a sticky for Ticket Exchange, i think thats your best bet, plus prices are fair.

Tons of tickets to flames games on ebay, I'm assuming there would be oilers tickets as well.

I think you're better off buying some from eBay for just under 2x face value...I doubt you could get them cheaper from scalpers outside the arena, but I also don't know how much those people sell them for.
