Postponed Dixie Chicks concert in Calgary rescheduled for October 31

admin

After the original date was postponed due to flood damage earlier this summer, the Dixie Chicks concert at Calgary’s Scotiabank Saddledome has been rescheduled to October 31, 2013. The country music stars were forced to call off their July 12 date after extensive flooding – in which water came up past half the arena’s lower bowl – caused serious damage to the entire building.

Tickets purchased to the original concert date will be honored for the rescheduled October 31st date.

The Vancouver Canucks, Ottawa Senators and National Hockey League are crossing their fingers for clear skies in Vancouver next March as BC Place hosts the Heritage Classic. The NHL is hosting six outdoor games this season, with Vancouver’s date coming on March 2nd, 2014.

The words “outdoor game” and “Vancouver” may be an odd couple in a city known for its rainy winters, but with BC Place’s retractable roof fans are assured that the game will go ahead regardless of weather. Open roof or not, the Heritage Classic is sure to be an impressive spectacle given the over 59,000 seats at BC Place slated to be filled. This marks the first time that either team has been involved in an outdoor game.

Tickets to the Heritage Classic between the Canucks and Senators went on presale today, and can now be ordered through ShowTimeTickets.com. Don’t miss the first-ever outdoor NHL game in Vancouver this March – buy your Heritage Classic tickets today!
