Winter Classic ticket drawing for public on Sept. 15 08.17.09 at 1:07 pm ET
By Joe Haggerty

The much-anticipated 2010 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic on New Year’s Day at Fenway Park has already sparked huge interest from fans yearning for tickets, and the NHL announced Tuesday afternoon that a ticket drawing for the general public will take place on Sept. 15 at noon.

 The drawing, which will randomly pick lucky fans as ticket winners, will come to a close on Oct. 5 at 11:59 a.m. after everyone has had a chance to enter the ticket derby. Winners will be notified by Oct. 20 and allowed to buy one pair of tickets — with prices ranging from $50-$350 depending on the seats chosen at Fenway.

 It’s expected that the Fenway upper level seats will be the most expensive of the bunch, just as those particular seats were at Wrigley last January. The ticket drawing will be hosted exclusively through the NHL.com website, but interested fans should stay tuned for any more details concerning ticket prices and availability for pucks on ice at the Fens moving forward.

Season-ticket owners for the Bruins and Flyers will receive notification in late August concerning the process of buying Winter Classic tickets, and every full season ticket holder is guaranteed a chance to purchase tickets. Given that over 200,000 people entered the ticket drawing for the Winter Classic at Wrigley Field last season, there’s going to be a pretty healthy amount of luck involved for those hoping to win their way into watching the Bruins skate at Fenway.

Fans seeking information about a chance to win the right to purchase tickets to the 2010 Bridgestone/NHL Winter Classic® can sign up at www.nhl.com/winterclassic to receive detailed alerts regarding the NHL Winter Classic — for example, how and when to register for the opportunity to get their hands on the hottest tickets in hockey.

The NHL also announced that it again will make a certain number of tickets available for local youth hockey groups in Boston. This year, the Boston Bruins Foundation will coordinate the youth hockey initiative ticket drawing for young hockey fans in the greater Boston area. The B’s will release details later this month on the community program.

    Received an email from the Premium Club, where Access is Everything.

    Oh, except for those who are Premium members of the Sports Deck. No access for you! Not to the Winter Classic, that is. Of course, according to the email, it is the fault of the mean old NHL. Never mind the month of commercials claiming that joining the Premium Club will guarantee you access, that was so last week.

    Luckily, the ownership that cares deeply for their fans, the ownership that can always be counted on to treat their fans right, well they have a solution to get around mean old NHL’s “full season ticket members only” requirement. It’s simple, and a great “opportunity” all we have to do is buy another ten games in the Sports Deck and change our commitment from one year to two years! Then we can have access to purchase tickets.

    Yes, that’s it, just increase our annual cost by about $1400 more per seat(for a total cost of close to $4000 per seat) and commit to two years and this fine organization will allow us to get in line to buy seats to the Winter Classic, price to be determined (by the evil NHL no doubt).

    In a matter of one week, we went from being excited about the new season and planning our Winter Classic weekend to wondering why we keep supporting this particular ownership with our money.

    Just tried to register for the Hockey Winter Classic, but nothing happened. How are we supposed to know if it went through?

    Yeah, my spouse and i entirely consider the issue, and yet precisely why will most people care? At the background connected with thing taking place across the world. For instance, as i do not mean most people really don’t, yet there is a lot more critical things around, at least to me. However that was a good very simple conclusion in this article from you actually. I am going to show that to my mother and maybe dad, it looks like it may interest all of them as well. I even book marked your blog when i saw that you have much more information of my interest in below, but i just go to sleep at this moment. Proceed publishing, fantastic night. :)
