LA Kings Hockey Fest '09 is a new three-day interactive festival celebrating the Kings and the game of hockey from August 28-30 at LA Live in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. For all event information, visit LAKings.com/hockeyfest.

Individual day Hockey Fest tickets are available for purchase at all Ticketmaster outlets. Tickets for Saturday and Sunday cost $27 each while a ticket for Friday costs $37.

Three-day Hockey Fest tickets cost $60 with each ticket allowing admittance into all LA Kings Hockey Fest '09 events for the weekend. Tickets for kids five years of age and under are free. Discounted tickets for groups are also available.

That is a sweet deal. If they tried something similar in Toronto tickets would cost from about $100 up

They should open up for the UNB VReds that way i could actually see them in 09

I still think they are the perfect choice for the headliners in the main tent at Harvey Jazz & Blues.
Maybe in 2010. I certainly hope I don't have to wait until Sept. 2010 to see them in Fredericton again.

Ohhhhhhhhh I am SO there! Road trip here I come. Hockey and The Hip....... does it REALLY get any better??

No. No it doesn't.

You should road trip from Saint John. And pick up a hitch hiker on the way as well...

Is this further proof that you just can't sell hockey to Americans?

Nice treat for all the Canadians/Hip fans living down LA-way.

Can anyone imagine how they're going to do this? Game ends....board up the ice? Or just wheel a stage out, no pit area?

Looks like the concert is actually across the street at Nokia Theater, it holds about 7,000 so they must be selling a limited amount of hockey/concert tickets.
Be intersted in seeing if season ticket holders get concert access, I know quite a few.

This show has been on sale - but you need a password:

Correction, show is at Club Nokia (not Nokia Theater) is an even smaller venue (still across the street at LA Live) approx 2,300 seats.
Password needed because tickets do not go on sale until august 28th

Ah, that would make more sense.

Hopefully it sells out!

Oh man, this could be perfect!
I'm already going to be in L.A. from Oct 25th through 28th (then seeing the Hip in San Diego that night) and don't have plans until the Phish festival outside Palm Springs on Oct 30th. I could TOTALLY swing a hockey/hip night in LA
