Similar to the World Cup of Hockey showings? I think it was those at least. I imagine it mostly sells out if they sell the tickets at a reasonable price. Edit: price range is from $5-$20. I imagine they sell out.

Edmonton businesses scoring big in Oilers playoff run
The Oilers are still waiting for their first 2017 playoff win, but the series is already helping Edmonton hotels, restaurants and other businesses put big numbers on their financial scoreboards.

“When people are pumped, they’re buying more beer. When people are pumped, they’re buying more food. When people are pumped, they’re buying more memorabilia,” Paul McElhone, dean of management at Concordia University of Edmonton, said Thursday.

“When they’re here for the weekend, they’re going to be in the Manulife Place and City Centre Mall, shopping … It’s huge. It’s in the millions of dollars.”

Rogers Place sells 10,000 at-home tickets for San Jose game
Edmonton's orange-crush crowd flooded Rogers Place on Sunday to take in a game played more than 2,500 kilometres away.

As the Oilers shut out the Sharks in San Jose, fans seated around the team's home ice in Edmonton cheered along.

Rogers Place hosted a viewing party inside the main arena, broadcasting Game 3 on the high-definition scoreboard to more than 10,000 people.

Edmonton and Rogers Place making tweaks to adjust to Oilers’ playoff fever
Since Edmonton hasn’t witnessed NHL playoffs in 11 years, there are some adjustments to be made to accommodate fans, including washroom lineups at Rogers Place.

Oilers fans don’t want to miss any of the action during games, which has resulted in higher-than-normal demand for washrooms during the intermissions.
“It’s an exciting time in Edmonton and obviously an exciting time at Rogers Place,” said Tim Shipton, senior vice president of Oilers Entertainment Group. “What we’re seeing is that building is packed to the rafters with fans… With that many people in the building… that puts pressure on all our systems, concession, obviously washrooms.”

In response, Rogers Place is making some tweaks to its washroom processes for Game 5 on Thursday night.

“We want to tighten up the queuing process, or the lineups, at washrooms, in particular in men’s washrooms,” Shipton said.

“The tighter the queuing, the less time it takes to get through. We think if we can shave, you know, 10 to 15 seconds off per person going to the washroom, that will make a big difference.”

Rogers Place will have guest experience staff on hand to help streamline the lineups throughout the arena. There will also be markers on the floor to let guests know where they can line up.

It would help if they could somehow have the general attendees use the washrooms in the club access level below, I bet those barely get used.

From GreenSPACE on C2E:

Arena District Local Advisory Committee Meeting last night. Pertinent highlights:

- EPS responses up in area (due to more officers), calls to EPS down 8%
- Rogers Place over Rexall transit use down 15%. No real understanding of this other than speculate more people already Downtown pre-game and staying there.
- Rogers Place up for many local and US award nominations
- LEED Silver documentation being processed
- Downtown Community Arena usage is up from last fall. One Adult shinny time cancelled due to non-use, but other public skate times being added.
- To end of 2016, CRL brought in $9m tax revenue from new development.
- Update on Norquest College Hospitality Program - $1m donation for bursaries from Edmonton Oilers Foundation, so far 456 certificates . OEG/Bissell Centre looking to recruit 20 people here soon. 45 spots available in June for those interested.
- Rogers/OEG staff retention has been 90%

Parking
- Patrons surveyed happy about parking options. No major concerns.
- 7100 tickets issued over season.
- ePark - now has 800 machines with 16,800 accounts for 1.9m transactions. 7000 transactions/day.
- Looking to reduce rates in lower demand areas. Looking to change maximum times depending on adjacent uses.
- Central McDougall - 50% of stalls are now 2hr. max. This seems to have helped with parking issues for residents and businesses in the area.
- Playoffs - parking bans on Jasper Avenue and Whyte Avenue will continue in the future.
- Mobile camera enforcement coming. RFP out, testing in June. 4 vehicles total. Similar to what Calgary has.
- ePark installed in library and city hall parkades. Canada Place is next. Signage will be installed at entrances to show whether parkade full or not.
