Most knew that Presidents Cup tickets would go fast, but mamy did not predict this quickly.
24 hours after tickets were released, games one through four of the Saint John Sea Dogs - Moncton Wildcats showdown are officially sold-out.
Saint John announced that they sold-out yesterday for both games one and three in a matter of hours. The Wildcats announced this afternoon that games two and four at the Coliseum are gone and tickets to game six are already limited.
Wildcats general manager Bill Schurman said in today’s Times & Transcript that he is not surprised over the strong fan support.
"I'm not surprised at all. We've had a great draw in Saint John all season long. We sold out two regular season games with the Sea Dogs in attendance and this series has been anticipated for months now. People are chomping at the bit to be a part of this."
For those without tickets, there is still hope.
“Wildcats General Manager Bill Schurman says there is also a possibility some reserve tickets may be freed up by Saturday, so stay tuned,” reports News 91.9 about Sunday's game at the Cage.
The popular site Kijiji has also been buzzing over both selling and buying tickets.
“(the tickets are gone) That is, unless you're willing to pay an arm and a leg for them on sites like Kijiji,” said the Moncton radio station.
There is already over dozen requests on Kijiji Saint John looking for tickets to game one and/or three.
There is also the long shot of winning a radio contest as CBC Radio’s Information Morning has been giving away some tickets.
If all else fails, we suggest standing around in the Harbour Station lobby before game time and hope for the best.
"The response has just been overwhelming here. The lineup at the box office (yesterday morning) was ridiculous," said Sea Dogs marketing and communications manager Rick Bowness Jr.
"Everybody over here is really optimistic. Both teams are playing well and they can't wait to get this started. It should be rocking here."
Fans attending Friday's game at Harbour Station are reminded to wear white.
On an off topic note, there is also a job offering on Kijiji as “Executive Director - Saint John Sea Dogs Foundation.”
