Hi there,

I have one spare Premium Ticket to the USA v CANADA Hockey game for today at 3pm.

The tickets are $171 each (the best available – a seat next to the rink). If you would like to attend the game, we’re happy to sell it for a quite a bit cheaper around $100 as we no longer need it.

I’ve attached a picture of the tickets and the seat area (front centre – in line with the blue highlighted area).

Ticket Details: Ice Hockey Classic USA v Canada, Sat 23 June 3pm, Westpac Stadium. Aisle 18, Row FF, Seat 264.
