To be able to purchase the tickets, the selected entrant must have, and use, a valid credit card accepted for such purchases, which credit card must be in the name of the selected entrant; if the selected entrant does not have such a credit card they will forfeit their prize in its entirety and nothing will be substituted in its place.

Selected entrants will be notified of the dates, times and instructions for ticket purchase via the e-mail address, phone number and/or postal mail address submitted during registration, at Sponsor's sole discretion, no later than December 1, 2011. The inability to contact a selected entrant for any reason, winner's failure to follow instructions for ticket purchase, or winner's failure to comply with these Official Rules, will result in the ticket purchase opportunity being forfeited.
TICKET PURCHASE DETAILS: Entrants whose names are selected shall have an opportunity to purchase a pair of randomly preselected tickets (seats together) (i.e., no more or less than two (2) tickets) to the 2012 NHL Winter Classic. Not all entrants selected will be able to purchase tickets as ability to purchase is dependent on the number of tickets available at the time of the transaction, and in the event that no tickets are available at the time of purchase, then the winner will not be able to purchase any tickets and nothing will be substituted as a prize to the winner to replace their inability to purchase tickets. No cash equivalents, redemptions or substitutions allowed. Registrations and ticket purchase opportunity are not transferrable in any way or manner. Ticket purchase opportunity is valid for use solely by the selected entrant whose name and address was submitted at the time of registration for entry.
