The National Hockey League’s 2014 draft is coming to Philadelphia and the Wells Fargo Center for the first time on Friday, June 27 and Saturday, June 28, 2014. NHL club executives, scouts and coaches will be present on the draft floor. The NHL expects thousands of fans and 500 media personnel from across the county to be in attendance. The Philadelphia Flyers hold the 17th overall pick in the first round of the draft. On the concourse, fans can have their picture taken with the Stanley Cup and visit the NHL Trophy Display and the 2014 NHL Draft Trading Card Show.
In addition to watching the draft unfold inside Wells Fargo Center, fans and visitors are invited to a free Fan Fest at XFINITY Live! which is adjacent to the Wells Fargo Center. XFINITY Live! Philadelphia is a dining and entertainment district located in the Wells Fargo Complex. Venues include The Philly MarketPlace, Spectrum Grill, Broad Street Bullies Pub, PBR Bar and Grill, Victory Beer Hall and the NBC Sports Arena.
“With the hockey enthusiasm here, and the ability to hold major events in Philadelphia, we thought it was a natural fit,” said NHL commissioner Gary Bettman. “We know that the city can host big events. We were here [at Citizens Bank Park in 2012] with the Winter Classic. We were here [in 2010] with the Stanley Cup Final. So all of the criteria for holding a major event are right here, and we’re delighted to be working with the Flyers organization because everything they do is first class.”
Tickets:
Both June 27 and June 28 are ticketed events. Round one will take place on June 27 at 7:00pm while rounds two through seven will take place on June 28th beginning at 10:00am. Tickets officially go on sale on Friday, May 30th to the public. 2014-2015 season ticket holders can reserve the same number of seats on their 2014-2015 Season Ticket Holder account. Season ticket holders can choose on of the two days or split the number of tickets between two days. Fans and visitors should be aware that the Wells Fargo Center will not be at full 19,000+ capacity due to prospects and their families guaranteed seats, media personnel, NHL club executives as well as the set-up of the arena consisting of an end-stage. Seats behind the stage will not be sold.

Our first experience with your company and it was excellent. The driver was on time, courteous and knowledgeable. The car was clean, comfortable and quiet. We would certainly use your service again and will recommend.

My company had an international artist picked up at JFK and dropped off in Philadelphia, and the artist had the best time. The driver kept in touch with me throughout the day, so we could plan for arrival, and our artist had the most wonderful experience with the driver. That’s really astounding considering our artist had just gotten off a red-eye from across the world. Thank you so very much!
