Default I Have Tickets - Game 1

Sooooo, I live in NL and booked a flight and arrive in Calgary tomorrow at 7PM. I go to Viagogo site and look at tickets. I bought 2 tickets to game in Edmonton on Sunday (Game 3). An hour later I get an e-mail saying I had tix transferred for Game 1 (tomorrow).

What do I do?!?!? I now have 2 tickets for the game tomorrow I can barely make...

Advice?

The answer here is to sell them to DomeFoam at cost.

Don't sell them on ticketmaster as per that other thread.

They mail you a cheque 3-4 weeks later.... LOL talk about the dark ages.

What do I do?!?!? I now have 2 tickets for the game tomorrow I can't make in time. Re sell? Do I wait to see if they can fix the error.

Advice?
Whatever you do dont sell them to an Oiler fan.

I think people are misreading what happened. The guy sent you the wrong game - Im not familiar with that site but I would assume if you contact them they can hopefully help get things squared up.

I wouldn't rush to resell given they need a chance to get it sorted and that would only complicate things immensely, especially since you're then gonna have to re-buy game 3 tickets (presumibly). Even if you have to wait until sometime tomorrow you should have no problem selling them on CP and recovering your cost.

You got it right. I've contacted them about it...meanwhile I have 2 tickets to the game tomorrow I don't think I'll be able to get to in time.

How far is it from airport to closest hotel to saddledome?

If you miss a period there will 100% be people in your seats. But they know what they did and they’ll move right away. If you say you just landed from Newfoundland I bet the people around you will love that!

So wicked. You’re making me look bad. Have an awesome time!!!!

The game won't actually start until 7:50 or 7:55

Also, the chances of a fight in the first 5 minutes is probably very high.

Update 2….they sent me a refund stating ‘unable to fulfill order’ because they didn’t send me tickets I tried to buy for Sunday’s game. But I still have the tix they sent me in error for tonight in my flames/Ticketmaster account.

Does this mean what I think it does?!?
