Anybody have any info about this upcoming tournament: Where is it being held? Any tips for visiting that time of the year? I'm a Canadian guy who loves hockey, beer and goodtimes. What better spot than the Czech Republic? I already paid for my trip though i dont have details yet, the anticipation is awesome. see you next winter.
Where are you Mase? I found a package deal through a company called Destiny tours. It wsn't for me so I am still on the hunt for some info and tickets. Anyone providing the information I need to get some tickets, will be eligible for free drinks upon my arrival!
If this helps, for info on IIHF World U20 (World Junior) Championships in Pardubice/Liberec go to http://www.worldjuniors2008.com/. The site says that individual tickets go on sale at the venues and over the internet from July. Does this qualify for the beer :wink:? If so, see you there!
hey all i'm thinking of heading over as well. I'm going to be in Scotland tho! Was I reading the website right when it said 1850 koronas ($100 CAD) for a tourni pass?? Thats awesome. Are you planning on going to Pardubice or Liberec? I'm thinking Pardubice only. Are there any other sites besides the official site that has info on the accomodations?!?!
Probably just going to Pardubice - the journey between Pardubice and Liberec doesn't look straightforward or quick. I have friends in Olomouc and Sumperk who I will also visit and the journey there from Pardubice looks a much better option. I took a kids hockey team out to a tournament near Brno between Christmas and New Year last year and we had a fantastic time . World Juniors should be a great spectacle .
Has anyone purchased tickets? I'd like to get the full tournament package but there's just an e-mail address and I haven't gotten a reply yet.
Okay, got a reply and apparently have a ticket reserved, but they say "payment is possible in CZK bank transfer only". Now I have to figure that out, haha.
Im heading to this too. Im from Victoria and will be staying in Hradec Kralove and attending the games in Pardibuce. Sean Walmzer8@hotmail.com
