NHL Winter Classic® Tickets

Citifield is a real nice venue. My son broke his ankle right before Christmas and we had gotten him tix to this as he is a big Ranger fan. So I took him to the game - the attendants could not have been nicer. A gentleman inside the gate directed us to a ticket office where we traded our tix in for handicap assisted seating. The attendant in our section also could not have been nicer (section 123) helping us in and out of our seats. The concession situation was terrible tho - I missed the entire 2nd period online for concessions to get my son and I hot chocolate. I got the last 2 cups and the 100 people behind me (who had also been online for about an hour) were told no more hot chocolate. Meanwhile there were a million vendors selling beer which no one wanted because it was too freezing cold!!!! Definitely poor planning in terms of concessions. And luckily I'm not a huge hockey fan but felt really bad for all the big hockey fans who missed half the game waiting in line for concessions! Very disappointing.

Thrilled to attend my 2nd winter classic. Venue is not the best for hockey and not enough sabre fans in the house. Very cool event.

If anyone has a chance you should do a Winter Classic when you get one in your area

A great experience. The weather was cold, but we dressed for it. Both of my kids would do it again if it came back to our area.

If the rangers played again at citifield. Our family would go. Getting out of the parking lot was crazy over an hour to get out. For the 40 dollars they charge for parking they need to hire employees or have the police officers direct traffic instead of standing there talking.

We arrived around 11:30 to enjoy the pregame party located outside Citi Field. There were games and giveaways... Sponsored by Nickelodeon which was fun! We were able to enter quickly, the lines for security and to get in moved quickly. Our seats were phenomenal!!!! The rink was right there!!! We brought binoculars on recommendation and didn’t even need them... I didn’t even need my GLASSES like I normally do at MSG! Amazing! The only downside to this event was the merchandise ran out quickly... Like insanely quick. So we couldn’t buy hats that we wanted. They should have had one item per ticket sold. It was freezing but that’s typical because it is January 1st, and Citi Field is a wind tunnel (I was at the Mets season opener last year and it was ridiculously cold because of the wind!)... What an experience! I highly recommend going to one at least once in your life... It’s cold but worth it for the experience!

An event that truly lived up to its billing. Even the frigid temperatures contributed positively to old-time outdoor hockey atmosphere. A win-win for the fans & the NHL.

Good game, well organized. Two issues (1) Start of game delayed ~0 minutes due to sun glare. Seems many of these outdoor hockey games have this issue. They should be able to figure this out before hand and adjust the official starting time accordingly. (2) The should install. radiant space heaters around the stadium.

The Winter Classic this year was absolutely amazing. Incredibly cold, but so much fun. Couple of things I would fix, selling beers in 24 oz cans in 9 degree weather meant that my beer literally froze before I could finish it. Also, baseball parks are not designed for quarter/period based games so it was impossible to get around during the intermissions and especially use the bathroom. It also didn't help that people were staying in them to keep warm. If you could set up warming stations that might help with the bathrooms. All in all though, really fun and was glad I went.

Was great fun - but do it on a warmer day! If this is too short, I'm still thawing out. Go Rangers!

Too cold. Hot chocolate and coffee was down. NO HEATERS

Another thing off my bucket list. Had a great time, even though i froze to death. Proudly stayed the whole game. Highlight was when somebody screamed out "this better not go to a shootout!". Laughed so hard with that line. Even though it was 5 degrees, still glad I went.

The game itself was good, but the hospitality was horrible! Tried to buy nachos and cheese, cheese was frozen, tried serving with no cheese, tried to buy hot chocolate, sold out, bought a hot dog and condiments were froze. Granted it was cold out but they knew it was going to be cold so be PREPARED! All this was after the 1st period also! Also waited in line to buy clothing for over an hour. Then when leaving we could only go out one gate. Why wasn't the other gates open. Makes me mad that I traveled all the way from Buffalo to watch this game as a season ticket holder and had to deal with this, especially this was suppose to be a HOME GAME!

An awesome ...once in a lifetime event ...recommended to all ...but dress warm!!!

The venue at Citi field was great for hockey. More games needed outdoors

Was very cold but GREAT Event!! Was a good add to have access to Foxwoods Club.

We had a great time tail gaiting before the game. It is a great way to meet other Ranger fans and share stories and just plain having a good time before the game. Our seats were in section 528, row 15 and the view of the game was awesome (better then the seats down low and up close!). By setting up the rink in the dead of Winter they should play a couple of games instead. They would definitely sell out! And ESPN took our picture and loaded it on their website

It was an amazing experience. I would definitely recommend this to others.

On a day that was single digit wind chills how do you run out of hot coffee in the first period? The gates were so limited and congested to get in and getting out they did not fully open the gates causing serious bottleneck issues. Portable heaters, hand warmers for sale, anytgingto accomodate fans on an extra chilly day would've been nice. There was zero consideration for the weather when it was clearly forecasted. Not worth it at all for the price. Sight lines were very bad and the stadium was not properly studied for it to be a suitable venue.

The game and intermission shows were really entertaining. Parking and concessions were a complete ripoff - everything was 30-40% higher than a standard (already expensive) professional sporting event.
