Are the Canadiens Not Approving Draft Tickets for Americans?

This is a map of the northeast corner of North America:

 

Habsmap_medium

That circle is centered on Montreal and is a circle meaning all points on the thick black line are equidistant from Montreal. To include Toronto and part of the golden horseshoe inside that circle, we need to extend its radius to 375 miles. You know what else is 375 miles from Montreal? New York City. So why is it that the Montreal Canadiens aren't sending draft tickets to people in America? Their website clearly says:

For your chance to obtain tickets, please register by completing the form  on Monday, June 15, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m available exclusively on canadiens.com . Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until all tickets are gone.

Well that's funny, SkinnyFish refreshed their page until the registration box popped up and didn't get an email about tickets, while people who registered afterwards and live in Canada (including people in British Columbia) got theirs. First come, first serve, my ass.

Are the Habs not sending tickets to people who live in America? Their website didn't have a way for us to enter the state we lived in. If you're a New York Islanders fan who wants to see his team pick first overall sorry, Montreal doesn't mail tickets to you folks south of the 49th parallel. What's Montreal's motivation for this? I hope this was some sort of oversight, but since it's unlikely to be corrected this seems like a pathetic move on the part of les Canadiens.

I'll get tickets somehow, and I'll get in to the draft, but I plan to show Montreal how I feel about their "warm welcome" by not buying a single thing while I'm at the Bell Centre, I hope some of you join in too.

This line here
Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until all tickets are gone.

I find highly suspect… if it is really first-come first-serve basis then why wait almost a whole day after closing the registration to distribute them? It would make more sense that they start dishing out the ticks when registrations started coming in.

Either way you can tell they’re just winging it.

Imagine if the draft were held in TO. How fast would tickets go? Exactly. So it’s not unlikely the tickets were gone in 60 seconds.

As much as I enjoy seeing them lose, the Habs are a very well-run organization, especially when it comes to selling tickets and stuff. They do good work in that regard. I’d be surprised if there is some geographical firewall or whatever. It may have honestly not occured to them to allow you to pick a state as opposed to a province, but how many US websites do the same thing?

If I hear anything around town about how to get some tickets, I’ll post.

by Leaf in Habland on Jun 16, 2009 3:42 PM EDT reply actions  

I have to disagree

People in Toronto don’t care about the Marlies even though one of the Leafs draft picks, Jiri Tlusty, is dominating as a 21 year old.

I doubt people in general in Toronto are interested in sitting in the ACC to hear names being called.

But ACC is sold out every night and people beg to be able to go, complain about the platinum seats, etc.

I had a very good experience buying tickets last year. I even got tickets three Leaf games (2007-08 season) which are obviously a tough ticket, just by standing in line outside the Bell Centre. This past season I heard it was a little tougher, but I was away that weekend, so I got tickets through someone who had season’s seats.

Maybe I had a good experience because I got to watch Grabovski make Price look like Aladdzi from the second row in that 5-2 win…

by Leaf in Habland on Jun 16, 2009 3:57 PM EDT up reply actions  

There’s obviously a reason that they went through the process the way that they did. Whether they were too cheap to let you just get your tickets right away or they wanted to screen the applications to prevent scalpers it sure seems odd so far.

Everyone who did not get a ticket, bring the copy of the email and complain that you did not get your tickets in the mail.

Talking to PPP, I think I’m going to teach my kids about Annual Gift Man instead of Santa Claus just to fuck with everyone my kids ever meet in school.

I’ve been out this morning so I am late to this.

I have nothing. But I expected nothing because the form looked like Canada only. And the post wasn’t going to get to me in time anyways.

Did you send this to Wysh?

Stop your consipiracy theories you guys

I asked for my tickets at 9:03 on the first day, and I haven’t got jack sh*t.. My office is a 7 minute walk from the Bell Centre, my apartment a 5 minute walk. Geography has nothing to with it. It’s just Habs’ incompetence.

the only conspiracy theory we are putting any legit stock in is that Americans seem to be exempt from getting tickets at all. Unless there are some Americans who havnt spoken up here, we dont know of any that got a ticket.

Yeah

Toronto people have gotten them so it’s not that it’s that no Americans that we know of have gotten tickets so it’s suspicious.

Maryland Got Theirs

Late to this, but my friends in Maryland were able to get approved for tickets and got three sets of them— so it could have been first come first serve and were just a little late to the party.

DAMN!

No conspiracy theory? This makes things less intriguing.

Oddly enough when I attended the 2002 Draft in Toronto there were maybe 3,000 fans in the upper bowl which shocked me, but when I attended the 2004 CAR draft they completely filled the upper deck. Maybe they’re worried about Hurricanes fans packing the house :)
