After only 30 minutes of being on sale, the Oilers Watch Game tickets were completely sold out!

“Just incredible response, we certainly should know not to be surprised as the passion of our fans, but just another illustration of how much they mean to the team and how much the team means to them.” Said Stew MacDonald, vice president of revenue with the Oilers Entertainment Group.

The tickets were only $5 dollars, but not long after being sold out, the tickets started showing up online for as much as $55 USD.

The $5 ticket sales support the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation and the OEG and Stew MacDonald vow to protect that.

“If we identify who you are, we can guarantee now that any future ticket purchases you have — either for this event or other Oilers’ events coming up — will be voided by Oilers Entertainment Group. So, you are taking significant risk.”

“We fully embrace fan-to-fan resale during our home games throughout the playoffs and year round, but when it comes to for-charity event that’s intended to drive families into Rogers Place, we’re going to do everything we can to protect the integrity of that and allow the maximum number of families to come.”

So if you’re the proud owner of some $5 dollar tickets, maybe think twice before re-selling them.
