As the title says, there's seven days left to the elitserie permier and nine days till AIK's first game against Timrå.
The Elitserie tickets were released on monday this week (05/09) and surprise, surprise, Ticnet crashed... Ticnet is the company handling all the ticket sales for hockey games in Sweden. The very clever people working there of course decided to put all these tickets out for sale at the same time. This resulted in not many people being able to buy tickets, and their servers being down for several hours. However, AIK have not released their tickets for this years first derby. The two Stockholm teams have an agreement to give some of the ticket sales to the other team when when they play at home, and vice versa. AIK will release their 1300 tickets tomorrow the 8th of september at 10 am. I'm hoping their are still a few left when I get home in the evening, otherwise I'll probably go mental...
AIK are playing their next preseason game against Skellefteå AIK on Thursday (09/09) at 7 pm. The game is played up in northern Sweden, thank good they're broadcasting it on TV so I don't have to travel up there... With enough players back and fit for fight we should have no trouble winning, Skellefteå did make it to the final last year and finished third in the league. But their troop is strongly decimated this year, they lost a few young talents to NHL. Among them David Rundblad, who I reckon will grow to be a fantastic player, even though he has a VERY diffrent style of playing. You might have noticed something with the name, Skellefteå AIK... Yes, they have copied us, in everything! Even their logo is basically a rip-off from ours. And can you guess their colours? Black and yellow.
I'll be back with a report from the game against the copycats of the north.
