Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Find out where the all-star game will be held this year. The location changes each year, rotating between NHL cities. You should also be aware that currently under the collective bargaining agreement, all-star games are only held in non-Olympic years so every four years the game will be skipped.
2. Sign up for the waiting list for general tickets. The hosting team gives season ticket holders the chance to buy tickets first, but if you don't have season tickets, you can sign up on a waiting list for the general tickets that will be available. The team will contact you about ticket options when the time comes for tickets to go on sale.
3. Buy tickets from other sources if you don't want to use the waiting list or if you're too far down the list. Check websites like Stubhub or other ticket sales websites for available tickets. You may or may not find tickets within your price range or in the area you want as it will depend on someone wanting to sell the tickets they have. You can also check with travel agencies that offer travel packages to the game.
4. Decide what other events during the all-star weekend that you want to attend. In addition to the all-star game, you can also buy an event ticket for the Young Stars and Super Skills competitions. You'll need to purchase separate tickets for the all-star game.
5. Attend other events in the city on the weekend of the celebration. The exact events will differ depending on the hosting city so you may want to contact the tourism office for the city you'll be visiting for more information.
