USA Hockey members are among those who will have the first opportunity to purchase tickets for the match between the United States and Canada at the 2018 edition of the event in Buffalo.

Individual game tickets will go on sale as part of an exclusive pre-sale opportunity for USA Hockey members, Buffalo Bills season ticket members, Buffalo Sabres season ticket holders and My One Buffalo members on September 21 and 22.

It includes the first-ever outdoor match to be staged at the World Junior Championships.

The game between the two North American rivals is scheduled to take place on December 29 at the Ralph Wilson Stadium, home of NFL American football franchise the Buffalo Bills.

Tickets have been priced at between $45 (£34/€37) and $110 (£83/€91) for the match.

They will then be put on general sale on September 25.

It will be the second time a match has been held outdoors after 77,803 fans, a world record attendance at the time, turned out to watch the opening game of the 2010 IIHF World Championships in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

All additional preliminary round individual game tickets will be available to the general public on September 29.
