Mayday Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 This should be good for Newark economically. The Devils too? Good news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghdi Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 i think its free...im in! Yep about 5000 tickets, all free. I may be in, but I bet we're not picking haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Oh, they're picking. If they weren't giving up the pick this year, they're sure as shooting not doing it next year, especially with no third-rounder either. At this rate though, no draft party until 2015 lol. There won't be one next year obviously, there won't be one in 2014 when we give up the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He suggests we wont give it up next year (the pick) and there wont be a party since we're hosting the draft. There won't be a party in 2014 as he suggests thats when we give the pick up.

njd3b1ink Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 When and how can you get tickets for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghdi Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 When and how can you get tickets for it? Next season sometime. I imagine there will be something on the Devils site. They're free tickets, so it wont be hard to get into. I dont see Newark/New Jersey going insane for the NHL Draft at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 He didnt suggest there wouldnt be. Got confused by the no draft party until 2015 line. Cleared up now. Party on Wayne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck the Duck Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Poor form on them if they do. Draft tickets are almost always free and no place ever gets rid of em all. I'm not sure if the team will have the ability to dole out these tickets, or if the NHL does it since its their event. However, the concession and parking revenue (or whatever % they get from it based upon the taxes the city collects), will go to the team. It will be interesting, especially with the Rangers, Flyers, and Islanders fanbases so close to Newark. I can envision there actually being a bit of demand for these tickets with that pool of fans to draw from. Plus, this event might be a test balloon for an NHL all-star game to be held in Newark in the next 3-5 years.

Good point about the NHL, but we're considered the host and the Devils will be responsible for ticket distribution. Just as the Wild were this year. I dunno about the Rags and Flyers fans being *that* interested. The Flyers are hosting it in 2014 and I would bet that neither of them will have high enough picks to garner that much interest. Heres how the Wild did it. It looks like STH got first dibs, but then they had an allotment for tonight... Tickets are now available for the 2011 NHL Entry Draft at Xcel Energy Center.
