It won't be January but the Heritage Classic being held at Investors Group Field on October 23rd 2016 just sent a shiver down many Jets fans' spines when ticket prices were announced today.

You can see the chart below but it won't be cheap and you have to buy both the alumni game and the NHL game the following day. While October can be downright balmy in Winnipeg it could also be colder than Inuvik depending on the weather patterns. But I expect a cool reception to these prices regardless.



IGF provides a great venue for football and concerts despite it's known problems but will it provide the same fun for hockey? IF you are unfamiliar with the field you can explore it here with an interactive seating map.

Staring June 15the season ticket holders have some serious decisions to make for some this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see old Jets and Oilers from days gone by and relive some old Smythe division memories. Others may choose to wait knowing that it's likely another comes back to Winnipeg, but if or when is the question.

Traditionally Winnipeggers have been fantastic supporters of these kinds of events and it will be interesting to see how the sales being and end for this one.
