During a highly anticipated game between the Leafs and Knights at T-Mobile Arena, a technical glitch with the AXS ticketing app caused significant delays for thousands of fans trying to enter the venue. Despite the app being down for several hours and additional issues with the arena's ticket printers, the game proceeded without delay. This led to frustrations among fans, many of whom missed the start of the game and pregame festivities. The situation was exacerbated by long lines outside the arena, with some fans reporting that the app worked on cellular data or via a browser. Inside, the arena eventually filled up, with a strong presence of Toronto fans and a significant number of Canucks fans. Team officials acknowledged the technical issue and thanked fans for their patience. The game featured Toronto scoring two goals, with their fans creating a loud atmosphere in the arena, supported by the Golden Knights.
Our @nickwalt caught up with some @GoldenKnights fans who were delayed getting into T-Mobile Arena this evening. Team officials told Channel 13 a technical issue led to longer wait times to get in the arena but they thanked fans for their patience while they resolved the issue. https://t.co/EIgkaMWgal

Official word from the Golden Knights regarding fans ability to enter T-Mobile Arena for tonight’s game: “A technical issue caused delays for many fans entering the building on Thursday. We appreciated everyone's patience while the issue was resolved.” #VegasBorn
Odd situation at T-Mobile as the AXS ticket app being down left thousands outside waiting 20-40 mins, many missing portions of pregame or puck drop. The arena’s ticket printers also went down. Some fans say the app wouldn’t work on arena WiFi but did on cellular or on a browser. https://t.co/GFMEtyw9HS
T-Mobile filled in just fine and seemed like fans didn’t miss much due to the pregame issue with the AXS ticketing app The arena was pretty much full for both of Toronto’s goals and all the Leafs fans were LOUD…there’s a lot of em in here tonight #VegasBorn https://t.co/FaRRYc5z7b
As it always seems to be the case, a lot of Toronto fans made it inside @TMobileArena.
Leafs and Knights are underway. Sorry for those of you still waiting outside to enter @TMobileArena. Hopefully they'll put the game on the outer wall for you.
They are not delaying the game. The building has filled in a little more, but still more empty seats than I’ve ever seen in this arena at puck drop. I’m sure lots of frustrated people still outside. https://t.co/ZV0siNWi24
Doesn't look like the game is going to be delayed with the AXS app down for many still trying to get into the arena. Pregame festivities are underway.
Here’s what T-Mobile Arena currently looks like, 10 minutes before puck drop. The ticketing app AXS is down, so thousands of people are still outside hoping to get in. Weird situation. I wonder if they’ll delay the game. https://t.co/9b5jjQDTpg
This is what it looks like inside. I'm blown away they haven't delayed this game yet. There are going to be thousands of angry people who showed up 90 minutes before puck drop and missed the start of the game. https://t.co/aDE7w8YhNX
What happens to the lines into T-Mobile Arena when the ticket app goes down? https://t.co/6YiL3sHzRR
no surprise, but a strong #Canucks fan contingent at CPA. Several hundred easy for warm-up with more on the way
Wouldn't shock me if this game is delayed. The ticket app, AXS, has been down for a few hours now. The lines outside of T-Mobile Arena are out of control.
Full view with just minutes until tipoff. Still a number of empty seats inside Rec Hall, which only holds 6,500. https://t.co/IzM8qDgn16
