The hottest tickets in town went on sale – and sold out quickly – in Halifax Thursday morning.
Mooseheads fans were lined up before the box office even opened at the Halifax Metro Centre.
Roughly 400 people waited in line, some for nearly two hours, to buy tickets for this weekend's Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoff games.
"Oh it's great, it's great," said one fan who waited in line for tickets Thursday morning. "We thought they were a team for next year but they're a team for now."
One worker at a ticket counter told CTV News tickets for Games 1 and 2 sold out around lunchtime.
The Mooseheads will face Rimouski in the semi-finals, after staging an unbelievable comeback against the Quebec Remparts Tuesday.
Halifax stormed back from a three games-to-none series deficit with four straight wins to take the series in seven games.
With the win, they became only the fourth team in league history to come back from a 3-0 deficit.
At the centre of the Moosehead's historic victory was a 16-year-old rookie, the overtime hero in Game 4.
"Probably the greatest feeling right now, when I saw it cross the line," says Mooseheads forward Jonathan Drouin. "(Cameron)Critchlow tackled me. Probably greatest feeling I got."
According to a former QMJHL scout, the series against Rimouski is winnable.
"I believe that they're going to believe in themselves, that they are fairly invincible," Bill Short told CTV News. "They understand what it takes to come back and work hard as a team."
Games 1 and 2 go Friday and Saturday at the Halifax Metro Centre.
