I'm a huge NHL hockey fan and like anybody else, I am looking forward to the Winter Classic this year between the Capitals and Penguins.
Winter Classic tickets are among the hardest tickets to purchase. So many tickets are set aside for players, the league, the teams, the hometown fans, the visiting fans, even the season ticket holders for venue's main (in this case, the Steelers fans and in the past, Chicago Cubs fans) they all get a crack at Winter Classic tickets before the everyday fan gets their shot.
That's why it is best to go with a professional service to buy Winter Classic tickets and other similar events like the Super Bowl, BCS Championship and All Star Games. It's usually too hard to get good seats, and if you are like me you are not going to settle for nosebleeds when it is a once-in-a-lifetime sort of chance to see your favorite team take part in a major national sporting event.
I've done some research on this and year in and year out, Winter Classic tickets are cheapest at SelectATicket.com. I personally do not care for a place like StubHub or Craigslist, I don't trust just any schmoe off the street who claims they have tickets. That's asking to get burned!
If I am putting out this kind of cash, I want to know I am going to get what I am paying for. SelectATicket has been around since 1978, I called around and checked them out, they're legit. They've got 2 storefront locations so I'm not worried they're going to pack up and vanish with my money overnight. Plus, unlike most ticket broker sites, SelectATicket.com does not charge any hidden fees at checkout! That's right, NO HIDDEN FEES! Pay attention on those other ticket sites, at the last second they jack up the price by anywhere from 5%-15% in some cases. That doesn't sit well with me, so I would opt for SelectATicket.com to buy my Winter Classic tickets.
