Edmonton Oilers Playoff Watch Parties Inside Rogers Place to Cost More for Stanley Cup Final
The Edmonton Oilers Entertainment Group (OEG) has announced that tickets for watch parties inside Rogers Place for road games in the Stanley Cup Final will cost $20 each, up from $5 for previous playoff rounds.
The OEG did not provide a reason for the price increase. However, the organization said that net ticket proceeds will go to the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation.
Playoff watch parties both inside and outside of the arena have become wildly popular for Oilers fans over the past few years. During both home and away games, outdoor watch parties are held in the Ice District Plaza and in the nearby Fan Park.
The Oilers will be back in playoff action in Florida on Saturday, where they will face the Panthers in Game 1 of the series. Puck drops just after 6 p.m. MT.
Games 3, 4 and 6 (if necessary) will all be played in Edmonton. Tickets for all three possible home games go on sale at noon Wednesday.
All of the games in the Stanley Cup Final start at 6 p.m. MT. The dates of the games are as follows:
* Game 1: Saturday, June 8 in Sunrise, Fla.
* Game 2: Monday, June 10 in Sunrise, Fla.
* Game 3: Thursday, June 13 in Edmonton
* Game 4: Saturday, June 15 in Edmonton
* Game 5: Tuesday, June 18 in Sunrise, Fla. (if necessary)
* Game 6: Friday, June 21 in Edmonton (if necessary)
* Game 7: Monday, June 24 in Sunrise, Fla. (if necessary)
This is the first time the Oilers have advanced to the Stanley Cup Final since 2006, when the team ultimately lost to the Caroline Hurricanes.
