NHL Fan Fair Tickets

NHL put on a great show for the fans. Lines moved slow, but there where things to do.

My son and his Dad attended the event and they loved it. The only negative comment they had was that there weren't more actual players from the All Star team in attendance each day so they could meet them and get autographs. My son is a Columbus Blue Jackets fan and he really wanted the players from that team's autographs but they weren't at the event until Sunday and our tickets were bought for Saturday. What I have seen done i the past that worked out well for everyone was to hand out a poster with all the players at the door when entering the event and have the players scheduled at different times throughout the day seated at long tables and let the fans go down the line so each player can sign by his picture on the poster. That would make it easier on players and fans. Otherwise he was very pleased.

This event must have been a big success for the organizers- but the fans were disappointed. You couldn't do anything without waiting in line for a minimum of :30-:60 minutes. Everything looked pretty cool, I just wish they had limited the amount of people better.

Lots of awesome displays. Be prepared to wait in lines and cut in front of by young adults. Worth it though.

This was a great representation of the sport of hockey. Loved it!

Great display of the activities for the All Star games. From the line up going in, I expected to be crowded when inside. The activities were spaced nicely so that you never had the feeling of being over run. The Cup area was highly attended and the wait was to be expected, but the thrill of being next to the cup and having ones picture taken was worth it all.

Most of the events were Very unorganized, and I was really disappointed that very few guys were signing at the event and no hhof were. You would wait and line for hour just for player to show up and then as soon as the player gets there they tell you they are only signing those little cards, and you dont even know who was signing until you walked in the doors. Definitely not as good as the past fan fairs and all star games.

We were not impressed. Several things for kids to do, really nothing for adults to do unless you wanted to stand in a 2 or 3 hour wait line to get your photo with the trophy or go shopping at the overpriced store. We were sorry we paid the $29 to go. Not to mention the $10 for parking. It was worth it.

Had a great time at the event. Only thing I would change is maybe less games and more attractions. Also, most hockey fans aren't really into todays pop music like Justin Beiber, better music was a must.

Thank you Raleigh for putting together an awesome All star weekend!!!

The All Star Fan Fair was a great time and offered many fun activities for all ages. I wish the line to take a picture with the Stanley Cup was shorter than a two hour wait!

Overall a great event. Lots of things to do and see. Stanley cup viewing line was a little long. Should have been more NHL player involvement in the Fan Fair event.

The one thing that really really sucked was there was no re-entry. It is an all day event with a street fair outside. So you could not leave and go to the street fair and then go back in. If you went in at 3:00 you would have to stay inside for six hours before the fantasy draft even started. There were not enough players for the fans to see. There was only one guy at a time autographing. We waited in line for an hour to see Jeff Skinner only to be told that they were cutting off the line in front of us and we had waited an hour for nothing and then one other player would start autographing and you had to wait in line all over again to see him. It seemed very poorly thought out and organized.

The Fan Fair was AMAZING! The convention center was the perfect location, plenty of space/parking. The volunteers were all very helpful & there were plenty of them all around the event. It was so much fun & made me so proud to live in Raleigh, the host city.
