Confirmed with Link: Sabres open 2024-25 season in Prague, Czechia vs NJ Devils + Preseason game vs RB Munich

Booked my flights. Booked my hotel. Aiming for both games, my first live NHL games can't wait! Tickets on general sale tomorrow 9am CET for anyone interested. Taking the wife and enjoying the brownie points... I may have forgotten to mention something however. I'll deal with the fallout from the ulterior motive later

Looked at the tickets, I can pay twice as much to get worse seats than when I went to a game in DC... And I didn't need to buy those 7 months in advance.

Over due for a European vacation. May jump on the plane to go to these games

 

[Sabres Fan UK]

Going to have to try and go to one of these, still regret missing the Finland one years back

Been away from this forum for a few months.

Very excited that this is happening - i managed to get a ticket for the Friday game. I got to see the Bills live in London last year which was a great experience (despite the loss) & now i finally get to see the Sabres in the flesh. It's been too long in coming

It would be great to meet up with any Sabres HFers who are also making the trip. I didn't get a ticket for the Saturday game but I'm planning on staying in Prague for the weekend & hope to find a Sabres watch party somewhere local.

This along with the Byram trade happening in quick succession has made my season.

Yes - these tickets did seem very expensive. It's why I only bought one for Friday's game to be honest.

[SabrePL]

Dreams come true
I will be with my son in Prague on match against NJD.
Wow. I never thought I would be at NHL match. I, who live thousands miles from Buffalo or USA will see NHL game.
5th of October see me on TV I will wave you.

Let's go Buffalo!!!

I’m jealous of the people going and I won’t even drive 15 minutes to see them at home. These are going to be incredibly fun events.

I'm considering going with my brother

I will be in Europe when this is happening. Tickets will be a joke so I may just go for the atmosphere. Usually host cities do stuff

 

[crossthesticks26]

will also be there - was lucky (or given the prices, rather insane?) enough to get tickets for both games. anyway, would definitely be cool to meet up with some fellow HFers there!

Lindy opening the season in europe vs his previous team? Should be a big one.

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

Got my tickets for both games. Prices are nuts but still much cheaper and hassle-free than travelling to the US for games. It will be fun start to the annual 24-25 Tank season.

JJ and UPL are in Prague doing a media tour...

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

I think it's great that we already have our excuse lined up for the horrible start to next season that sinks it before it even began.

I hate starting the season this way. We already have so many changes to deal with...can't these special games come later, after they've gotten their feet under them?

Prague is so on my bucket list of cities I want to visit.

Ideally this would galvanize the team. This is a larger West Coast trip, hopefully this works in their favor. It should work in their favor as NJ has had more turnover in important areas.

 

[Dingo44]

Upie and JJ with bonus Lukáš Rousek!

 

[Chainshot]

Funny that the King of Prague was there to meet them.

What are the approx prices?

 

[Rowley Birkin]

What are the approx prices?

I paid circa £190 (circa $250) for mine. Upper tier, centre ice, very close to the front.

From memory they were roughly between £ 150 for the cheapest seats & £ 400 for the most expensive.

As posted above I'd intended on going to both games but after seeing the prices i chose just to go Friday. I'll spend Saturday doing some sight seeing & hopefully catch the game in a sports bar or something....

 

[Chainshot]

Any seats left? NM, found some.

 

[Aladyyn]

Just got an e-mail announcing a new wave of tickets. Snatched one up this time, see y'all at the opener!

I hope whoever's going from this board & meets up has time for a picture. Would be kinda neat to put a screen name to a face!
