OT: Vancouver Giants Announce They Will Move To Langley Event Center

Anyone know how the flex packs usually work? Certainly can't make every game, but plan on attending more than one.

Usually, you get 6 vouchers per pack, and you call them prior to the game you want to go to to reserve your seats. Bring the voucher with you, get your ticket, and that's that. Use them in whatever combination you want.

I'll be getting two packs for next season.

So just like the Lions? Perfect. What do they usually go for?

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Also going to get a flex pack. Can't wait for the new season!

 

[Captain Bowie]

Are they on sale now, and do they require a deposit? Or is that just for full season?

They're taking deposits now for season tickets ($100/seat), seats don't get assigned until next month.

For the red seats I believe they were $100 plus tax. Last year was a bit more expensive because they included the Top Prospects Game. Either way, they'll be cheaper than walk up prices.

No more games for me. New West I could handle. Langley is the boonies that I avoid like the plague.

The Rivermen are moving to George Preston.

Nice! Back to where I saw tonnes of Thunder/Hornets games!

Thanks for the info.

 

[Free Edler]

I worked for the Langley Chiefs their first year at the Preston Rec Centre - crazy in retrospect seeing Jamie Benn and Kyle Turris before they were drafted. Hopefully they've done some upgrades on the place in the past decade, it's barely Junior B quality right now.

I don't think you understand the demographics of this city.

Still waiting for my lesson in demographics, Jimson...

Ever been over the new Port Mann? The LEC is 10 minutes further, if that. I'd bet it's actually easier to get to than getting in and out of New West with all their congestion problems.

For the people interested in Flex Packs, I spoke to a ticket rep on Tuesday who said they won't be available to purchase until August, maybe late July depending on how season ticket sales go, which currently is above expectations.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Just checked in as I was very interested in flex packs.

Still no flexes available. Wonder if they'll come out before the season begins...

the local yokels.

wait aren't you the guy who hates gillis?

Was wondering the same thing, but now I remember them saying that given the smaller configuration of LEC, flex tickets may not be available if they sell a certain amount of season tickets.

after moving to cloverdale it is 10minutes away. definitely hitting up some games this year.

 

[strattonius]

This will be a much more convenient location for most people..not all obviously. Considering junior hockey attracts affordable hockey for families that is the EXACT demographic of Langley, South Surrey, Cloverdale, etc.

JIM Hogarth - care to explain the demographic of Vancouver? It seems that even the demographic consensus of this poll has contradicted your sentiments about the move.

 

[NoShowWilly]

aw man i didn't realize the oilers drafted benson.

 

[Archangel]

This move makes me sad

Would you say this makes you 'A Saaaad Panda?'








old south park reference...

Don't forget the toll though. It was 3 bucks each way a couple years ago. I think it's gone up since then. Although I assume the LEC provides free parking, and I also assume parking at pne was pay parking? I really don't know.

Think of all the residents around there - all that lost income!

My family officially owns seasons tickets for this upcoming season!!! Stoked.
