There’s still time to nab VIP tickets for Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada’s Celebrity/Alumni Game and Party (19+).

A final round of 35 VIP tickets for the celebrity match and party will go on sale at 10 a.m. Wednesday.

Tickets will be doled out on a first come, first served basis using an electronic ticketing system, according to a news release from the city.

The tickets are being made available for general sales after first being reserved for sponsor packages, says the city.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.yellowknife.ca/hockeydayincanada or at City Hall.
Wednesday’s sale coincides with day-one of Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada, which hits the ice from Feb. 5 to Feb. 8.

The city will be operating a free-of-charge shuttle bus on Saturday, Feb. 8. The bus will run from 9:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m, making trips from the Multiplex to Somba K’e Civic Plaza, where Hockey Day in Canada will be broadcast across the country.

VIP Celebrity/Alumni Game and Party (19+) ticket holders must provide a valid form of identification for entry at the event.

The city reminds residents who’ve already purchased tickets for the Alumni Game, Banquet, or Breakfast with the cup to pick-up tickets ahead of time to avoid delays at the entrance. Tickets are available for pick-up at City Hall, Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Tickets are still up for grabs for the following events:
