Blackhawks Convention July 30th-August 1st

[IceHogsFan]

Thread to discuss who all is attending, plans to gather, what you expect, etc.



I will be arriving on Saturday and spending the night downtown although it will

not be in the crappy Hilton rooms. Looking forward more to hanging with friends

in the wonderful O'Sheas.

I'll be there all three days, staying at the Hilton Saturday night.



Mmmmmmm.....Kitty O'Shea's!!!!

I will be there. Staying at the Hilton Friday and Saturday night. That means I have four passes for the weekend, right?

No, it means you have two passes. Two passes per hotel reservation, unless you have more than two guests or made arrangements with the Hawks/Hotel.



I'm pretty sure but you might check if you really need four.

No, he gets 4 passes, unless they changed it from last year. It's two passes per room per night.

Now you have me second guessing. I have to call tomorrow to confirm.

Just found the press release

"The room package includes two weekend convention passes (per room, per night) with a minimum one-night stay. "

You should have 4 passes.

Planned on going with my son but Wayyyyy too pricey now for sure.

 

[Five_Hole]

Anyone know when the convention passes are supposed to be mailed for those of us not staying at the Hilton?

The wife and I didn't get passes this year, but we found out recently that the guy who sits next to our season tickets found a way to hook us up. Its not confirmed, but there is a good chance we will be there.



But you know what? Even if we don't get passes, we might still go. Nobody checks those things on site anyway.

 

[IceHogsFan]

I am in need of one pass if anyone can be of help please let me know.



Thanks

I was told they will be very strict this year with Passes. Especially after seeing how many showed up at the Parade.



They have not been in the past but it would not surprise me if that were different this year.
