No. I’m not going to fly to Australia to watch a local team play.
festerthedog
I won’t pay 50 bucks to park to watch this team in van. You think people we’ll travel to Australia
GobertoBobongo
Seems like a disadvantage for the teams that get stuck doing this. I crave normalcy in Vancouver and this isn’t it!
Yeginvest
Why do I want to watch us lose in a different country, yet alone one that’s a 24hr+ flight away lol
No_Character_5315
I live in vancouver and get offered tickets on occasion for free and dont go they are going to suck no matter what country the game is in.

All for it, it’s a god send for our Aussie brother and sisters, in this sub.

It’s be a cool experience! Watching my favourite team play in a pretty unorthodox location would be cool!
grayum_ian
I used to play hockey in Australia, it’s really unpopular. I know that’s the point of this so maybe it would help, but they have a ton of work to do.
kenflux
As an Australian Canucks fan, yes i would go.
asdd1937
Shouldn’t the blues be on the list since they have an Australian player on their roster?
Heraisacrazybitch
I’m moving back to NZ soon and super gutted I wont get to go to games again. I would probably try get to a game if there was one in Aussie
wooshun67
Nope even if I could afford it
EonsForDays1257
Just to watch them lose? No thanks
Greecelightninn
Is everybody well off here ? Am I the only one that can’t afford this ?
andy_soreal
Why do all the comments seem to think the intention is for Vancouverites to fly out and watch it? I feel like I’m getting whooshed here.
It’s to get more eyes on the sport, they want all aussies in the audience

Considering the poor starts that the Canucks had for the last two years, let’s hope the Canucks arn’t part of this. They don’t need a very long trip to use as an excuse for a bad start.

If I got free tickets hotel and flights paid for

I’m in Australia, but it wont be held in my state… I’d want to go no matter who was playing, but I’d have to do the maths on the travel, sadly.

This question is hilarious.
Striking_Economy5049
I absolutely will go, and I know many who will
xCRICKETSx
In Brissie, will go
Bizzlebanger
That could be fun and doable if a majority of my income didn’t go to having a place to live…
MossJr81
Expat living in Aus and a huge Canucks fan. My wife and daughter are now also big Canucks fans but have never been to North America so the possibility of seeing them play live without having to fly to the other side of the planet is amazing! Will be going for sure!!
DrHockey69
Just remember, DONT fuck with the locals-> animals and critters.
RegisthEgregious
I’m an expat living in Australia. I’d absolutely go so long as Acqualini isn’t the owner.
lightningmcmemex
Why would you want to subject anybody else to this trash heap of a team?

How much will beer be?

If it’s in Brisbane I’ll be there. It probably won’t be in Brisbane though 🙁

As a Vancouverite living in Australia, nothing would give me more joy than to watch Petey again. I haven’t seen him since his rookie year
stickinrink
It makes sense as the Canucks are one of the more international teams.

Half of whistler is cheering

everybody saying they won’t go is going to change their tune when it’s the first chance to see connor « canuck » bedard 😉

That tweet says « to start the season ». That doesn’t sound like preseason to me.
SnowBird1973
Pay for my trip and we’ll see….lol
Nostradanglus
I live in Sydney. I’m bringing the whole family if they come
pheron1123
I know it’s to grow the sport locally, but if they want to fill out the seats with NA fans looking for an excuse to go to Oz, it should be VAN and LA.. It’s a PITA to get there from the E Coast. Pretty painless flight from LA, actually, if you’ve got ambien + lie-flat seats.
aquilifer_93
Come to Sweden please

Australia with coach Bruce would have been proper.. but in today’s reality, it would be a lot of dollery-do’s to go watch them shit the bed..
Sinochick
I need to see Petey holding a koala bear…..
yosoo
Australia? That’d be beyond cool. Love the idea. I won’t go but I’m happy for the Australian canucks fans out there.
deeho88
u/TimsAFK you’re going to go right
dadaholic
This would be awesome – would be there for sure.
CanuckDownUnda
Are you kidding me??? Living is Sydney and this is a dream!! Hopefully not in early October cause funnily enough I’ll be in Van.
thefallenloony
Aussie here who would definitely go not having to spend thousands to get back to Vancouver even though I want to again one day.
