Go to Game As A Group

[Jeff O Rocks]

Hey guys...several of us individually have talked about how much fun it would be for all of us lgc'ers to sit together at a Canes' game....how many of you would be up for that?? When the time comes, I could talk to my ticket rep and maybe we could get a group rate...

I think it would be a great time...of course some of the "rowdy ones"...and you know who you are :p .. will have to sit in the middle of the row..just so we can keep an eye on them! ;)

...maybe this should be in Off-Topic..if so, I apologize..

I'm sure we'd be up for it, if it isn't one in our 24 pack.. otherwise, we'll just sneak down to wherever you are ;o)

(definitely not off-topic)

I might be able to join in...I definitely should be able to drive on my own come next season. And driving is practically the only obstacle keeping me from hanging with some of you at practices, games, and such...

[Kat]

I would definitely be in, if you can let us know as soon as the schedule comes out which game that it is... maybe you can pick one that isn't in the 24 pack, so that those folks can go too. We pick our games lottery-style at the beginning of the season, so have some flexibility as to which ones we choose.

I would definitely be up for a LGC group game....also a vote for outside the 24 pack. You need 20 people to get the group rate (this past season anyway)....we should be able to scrap that up. Also in for a road trip! That is definitely on my list of to-dos for next season. If we could get a group together for that it would be awesome!

Oh man, that's an excellent idea Mona! :) I'm kind of a babe in the woods about ticket prices though... what's the going rate if we bought as a group?

Also, is the Marty Brodeur thing included in the discount rate? I think the team should give us some kind of discount for all the extra effort their fans are expending for the good of our franchise.

[Shell]

I presume the group rates will be the same since ticket prices will be the same.. this year the group stuff was like this:

Come and enjoy the excitement of NHL Hockey with friends, family, and fellow group members at a reduced rate! Prices start at just $19 for groups of 20 or more.

Nothing beats Hurricanes Hockey! Your group will be a part of the game every "check" of the way. Great giveaways, surprise guests and that daredevil mascot, Stormy, guarantee that you'll have the time of your life!

UNBELIEVABLE BENEFITS Get tickets at a reduced rate, get a break on service charges, get all your seats together (based on availability), get the opportunity to buy group playoff tickets before they go on sale to the general public, get two complimentary tickets to the group leader appreciation game and get your own personal account representative to handle all of your ticket needs. Get the picture?

[SouthernHockeyChick]

Yeah....I know from going with another group that the $21 seats were $19 and I think the balcony premier seats were $25 maybe???? It's only a couple bucks off but a couple bucks is a couple bucks! There may be better discounts for lower level....not sure.

Awesome! Keep us posted baybee!

[VandyCane]

Jeff O--
The way suites worked last year was $85/ticket, plus a minimum of $20/person in food and drink. It's amazingly easy to come up with the food/drink minimum! :D Fridges are stocked with beer and wine as well as soda and water. If you want mixed drinks you need to hire a bartender in addition. Suites range in size from 12 to I think 80. The food in wonderful and it is quite an amazing experience.

[stewart123]

If beer and wine is served, are the suites over-21 only?

[VandyCane]

Suites are "all-ages." The suite renter has to agree that all their guests will obey the alcohol laws. Kids 3 and under are free as well. We had about 5 kids with us and it was quite nice to let them run all over the suite without having to worry about them disturbing anyone else! :D

[stewart123]

Well then, if the "suite" option is chosen, there will be three attendees from my camp.

[tommy]

Being in a suite is THE coolest.

My birthday is always around the time of the allstar game/superskill events, so as an early present, my family took me to the Canes superskill events; not a real game even, but TONS of fun: I took lots of my friends; and we had fun watching the events, the football playoff games on TV, eating popcorn, hotdogs, soda, wings, and lots more FOOD! Definitely a great choice for a game; seriously, the cost is SO worth it.

[MCAngel]

:angel:

[Jeff O Rocks]

Hey guys...here is the answer from my ticket rep...about the same as Vandy posted..

Mona,

You are looking at between $100-110 per person with food and beverage. The
smallest is a 12 person suite and they can go as big as 88. Let me know if
you need anything else.


Just something to keep in mind!! :spin:

[Jeff O Rocks]

As it gets closer....hurray!!.....you guys still interested in this possibility??

[nccanes]

Yes for me! :D

[Guyute]

it's a decent amount of money to spend... but I think it'd be pretty cool :)

of course what shell and I would be most concerned about is how the beer in the suite works. hehe

[nccanes]

Oh, I was answering the general "group game" thing, not necessarily the suite. But I'd consider that possibility too. :)

[Jeff O Rocks]

From what I understand, the fridges are stocked and as you need more, you ask for it....I will double check all the details for ya Mr. guyute! ;)

[Guyute]

something other than bud and coors (lights included). it would have to be real beer. :p
Don't want to pay that much money and then have to go to our downstairs bartender for $8 Sierra Nevadas on top of the suite cost. thanks :)

[Stormbringer]

Not sure about doing a suite, but I still say "Yay." for a general group game. :spin:

I'm with Jeff here. If $100-$110 includes DECENT beer and snacks and some bad-ass eats in a suite I'm thinking it's worth it. I'll just have to eat a lot since we won't be able to afford groceries for the next week. :p But yeah, we're in.

If we do this, I can see us all now...drunk and so full of snacks that we are sick...trying to get our money's worth!!!!!! LMAO

I will check on what food is provided and the BRAND of beer too!! ;)

[hyena]

*waves cheap hand*

i don't know about the suite. that's a lot of $ for one game, i only sprung for $85 seats once last year. it depends i guess, on what game it's for, how good the eats are, etc. beer is not an issue for me. :sick:

i'm with stormbringer on this one though -- you can definitely count me in for a general group game. :D

[Kat]

I might be able to talk my boy into a suite, but it would have to be a convincing argument for that much $$$ (good beer might work, but good seats would work better).

[Jeff O Rocks]

As far as I know, all suites are on the club level....at Game 3 of the SCF's we sat in section 207 and it was a great view of the ice...even if we don't do the suite thing, it will be fun for all of us to sit together...hope they have plenty of extra security that night!! :spin: :p ;)

[SouthernHockeyChick]

Money aside.....the seats in suites are the best in the house....bar none. Comfy, the best view of the ice in the whole place IMO (club level rocks), and of course we must take the good company into account. :spin:

[Guyute]

Club lvl seats are Definitely, without a doubt, the best seats in the house. Right inbetween being very close... and being high enough to see plays developing. We sit in the 200's a couple of times per year (if we're lucky)... free seats from RTP. :) It's awesome.

though, in general, the people on that level SUCK. They're like most toronto fans. bringing people there to show off their $100/seat tickets, in suits, running their mouths... and glaring at us when we're screaming at the refs that I'm gonna eat their children.
Turn around and go back to bragging about your XJ6 before you walk out of here with a shiner buddy. :beatup:

all that being said... a suite with a bunch of friends is the ultimate. best seats in the house... and enough of you to rumble if the need arises :p LOL

now... about that beer... ? :smoke:

Agree with every word of that as well. And the only time I've gotten to sit at club level was during the playoffs....same crowd even then. Wouldn't know they were at a hockey game unless the puck hit them in the head....which I was usually wishing for. :roll:

[Guyute]

last time we were there, 4 people came in halfway through the 2nd period. their seats were right in front of ours. it's was obvious right off the bat that they never pay attention to anything, because they started talking to us like we sat there for every game. "Bet you thought we weren't gonna make it, huh?".
well, after 10 minutes of them being there and yammering... Yes, I wish they wouldn't have made it. :roll:

[rons#1fan]

Hey There Mona...the idea of a group getting together sounds great. It doesn't matter where we end up, you can count us in !

[guinevere]

I've been on the Club level several times and maybe it was just me but it seems like a lot of people are given tickets through business connections and don't know what the heck is going on. Often they talk "work" through the whole game.

That being said... a belated.. I want to come too!!http://www.smilies.org/basesmilies3/bravo_happy.gif

Guin

[talkingcanes]

I'm in if I can sell my tickets. That's a lot of $$ to have invested in one game! Can I at least visit if I swear not to eat or drink anything from the suite :angel:

[caniac369]

You know I'm in!!!!

Jen & Kat- don't forget your ear plugs!! :evil:

[Jeff O Rocks]

[MCAngel]

:angel:

[Jeff O Rocks]

I would love to do this. Keep us posted with the info and what game you chose!

:angel:

Will do!! ;) The schedule comes out next month!! woo hoo!! :spin:

[VandyCane]

Suites are in the club level as well as all around the top of the lower level. The suites are tons of fun, but whoever's credit card is being used may want to put a limit as to how much "extra" (ie, alcohol) can be tacked on to the total bill. Alcohol and soda are actually cheaper through the suite than at the concesion stand, but if people keep ordering someone is bound the get stuck with a large bill. Just a word of warning.

[Lady J]

I know there's absolutely no way in hades Rio and I will be able to do the suite arrangement, but the regular seats we can manage. So, I guess we'll know more from a group perspective when the schedule comes out next month? You poshies could always throw suite snacks down on us vagrants during intermission. ;)

When the schedule comes out, we can take a vote...and then decide suite or regular seats.....budgets have to be maintained.. ;)

[Ashleygirl]

Count me in for a Suite - they are awesome...of course maybe we could get a group of seats in third of fourth row and wear my new third jersey? The sewing bee has begun!

[1Irbegirlforever]

We'd love to make a road trip from H'ville and join in on the fun! Keep us posted on when and we'll come up! :D :D :D

[stewart123]

If the suite option is chosen, make sure someone is in charge of creating the LetsGoCanes.com banner..

[Jeff O Rocks]

Ok guys..the schedule is out finally!! Is everyone or anyone still interested in this idea..and if so, which game??

[stewart123]

The following games are not on any mini-plan (24 or 10) package:

Tue. 10/28 vs. San Jose 7 p.m.
Thu. 11/13 vs. Atlanta 7 p.m.
Wed. 12/3 vs. Nashville 7 p.m.
Mon. 12/29 vs. Buffalo 7 p.m.
Tue. 1/6 vs. St. Louis 7 p.m.
Tue. 1/20 vs. Ottawa 7 p.m.
Mon. 2/16 vs. Florida 7 p.m.
Tue. 3/2 vs. Columbus 7 p.m.
Wed. 3/10 vs. Tampa Bay 7 p.m.

The two that jump out at me are 1/20 against Ottawa, and 3/10 against Tampa Bay.

[Ashleygirl]

Sounds like the STH's can buy extra tickets for a better price than the group discount....maybe we should consider buying some tickets lots if we want a group in the lower level??

[Shell]

we're still up for it.. any of the games not in the pack that stewart noted would probably be fine

[Stormbringer]

Still up for it if it's a general group game...Oct. 28th will more than likely be the Halloween Celebration game, if there is one, meaning that will most likely be the game I'll go to for my birthday. :spin: If I sell enough albums (http://www.letsgocanes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=880) in time, I was hoping to go for center ice seats at that game, but will happily spring for a seat with y'all and go for center ice at another game. :)

[Jeff O Rocks]

I will check with John H. and see what our best options are! ;)

Is a suite an option at all, or too expensive?? If it is, that is fine....

[1Irbegirlforever]

Well, darn. We could only make a weekend game since we live so far away, but hope you guys have a great time! :D

[Jeff O Rocks]

Alice a game hasn't been chosen yet..so it could be a weekend game... :spin:

[stewart123]

Absolutely.. I wasn't attempting to list the only possibilities, just trying to help by researching the game that would force the fewest people involved to double-pay.

So, if there is to be a vote, let me officially nominate the 10/28 against San Jose, the 1/20 game against Ottawa, and the 3/10 against Tampa Bay. All other nominations are welcomed, as are any seconds for the three games I just nominated.

[Jeff O Rocks]

just trying to help by researching the game that would force the fewest people involved to double-pay.



Thanks for doing that Stewart! :spin:

So with this said, are the games Stewart listed our only options since most of you already have tickets to the rest of the games?? I am with the crowd, just start the voting!! ;)

[Ashleygirl]

I was going to upgrade for the San Jose game anyway, so that one would work for me....but I'll chip in for any of the games if there's a better date for more people

[HockeyPat]

I got lucky once and sat in the SAS suite. Two of my best friends from college ended up getting married and the wife works at SAS. She got the suite ticket thru some kind of lottery and kept them because she knew I loved hockey. The suite was stocked with Mich. Light, Pizza, Wings (not of the Red variety) and Chips with Salsa. It was great since most of the other people there didn't know much about hockey and/or had kids and ended up leaving early. :smoke:

My friend and I ended up getting so drunk we had to call his wife to come get us. I think I ate a whole pizza by myself. :sick:

I have season tickets (yes, I'm bragging) but I would love to meet you bunch of nuts. Count me in. I've dropped bigger coin on horrible first dates, so suite, group seats or you all could share my seat. No big whoop. Also, I usually park across the street from Carter-Finley stadium were it is free. ;) I mostly go by myself but I've always had fun meeting people who go about an hour or two before games for a little tail gating. Everybody is real friendly and it's something else we could all do. Just think of the fear we would instill in our opponents as we storm the RBC together singing "Rock me like a Hurricane". That could be the deciding factor for victory altogether.

Guyute and I are always good for drinking a couple hours before game time! Several people from this board come hang with us in our spot now as well. We can always be found in West Lot around 67 near the aisle where they take the money. All are welcome! I can't wait.... maybe we should tailgate before our select-a-seat just for old times sake ;)

[Guyute]

yep, weekday games we go directly from work, and are cracking a beer by 5:30. :D

come on by!

as shell said, we're still in for a group game. I think a suite would be awesome, if we can afford it.

[Jeff O Rocks]

I have some info from John...he said they have suite sizes that range from 18 (possibly 20) to 44 persons.. The smaller suite will run between $100 -$115 and that includes ticket and food and beverage..

They have a 34 person suite...that will run around $100

a 44 person suite....$100 as well...he said of course the more people, the less the cost...

I asked about the beer choices and he said that they have ALL Anheiser Busch products as well as Coors Light and he said he didn't know right off hand about international choices but he could find out...

They require a $25 deposit and then you settle up like 2 weeks in advance...

For regular block seating, he said we could do Lower Bowl at $75 per person..that is around premiere ice (106 or 107)...and club level would be $60 per person....

You guys think about it and he said he would be in touch with me next week..he also said he had been out on a promotion thing with Chuck today and that everyone was very excited and upbeat about the new season...I told him we were a bunch of dedicated Caniacs that couldn't wait for the season to begin! :spin:

Any ideas...suggestions??

[caniaccat]

If there is still room my wife and I would like to do a group game. Whatever way you guys want to do it is fine, I like the suite idea better. I know I can get my $'s worth. :D

[Kat]

My vote would be for the $60 club level... esp. if we are taking over a section. :D

-Kat

[guinevere]

i think either is fine with me.

[HockeyPat]

well, if they won't let us sit in the penalty box...

You could count on me for any choice made by the group. My first choice would be suite and then club level.

[Stormbringer]

My vote would be for the $60 club level... esp. if we are taking over a section. :D

What she said. :spin:

[Guyute]

club lvl for $60 each, instead of $99? wow, there's a dealio.

(though I'd still like to be in a suite. lol)

[Stormbringer]

(though I'd still like to be in a suite. lol)

I just don't know about doing a suite...I would really prefer lower level or club level. If I'm able to handle Raleigh/RBC traffic or can get someone to pick me up, I'll definitely go if the group game is in one of the two aforementioned sections. But if it's suite, I'll have to think about it...

[VandyCane]

I'm up for either option....I just want to meet all you crazy folk.....I think :eek2:

[Shell]

I'm up for either option....I just want to meet all you crazy folk.....I think :eek2:

Be afraid, be very, very afraid ;)

I have met a ton of people from this site and we always have such a blast together. Definitely some fun people to hang with.. you'll have sore cheeks in the morning from lots of laughing! :D

[Jeff O Rocks]

Just from what I am seeing it looks like club level or suite will win out...any ideas on WHICH game??

And there will be sore cheeks the day after.... from grinning I mean!! :D :beatup:

...and one more thing...can I go ahead and get a tentative head count....if you want to participate let me know and how many folks will be in your party!! Thank you!! :)

[Shell]

guyute and I will most likely be there, assuming we are in town

Well, as I suggested before, if we go to the October 28th game, it can be an early birthday party for me. :spin: More than likely, the only people in my party will be me, myself, and I. BUT, I might can get a friend of mine to come depending upon his schedule and where we sit. If it's club level or lower level, I could possibly sweet talk my friend into coming. (Meaning nobody here having to pick me up, whoo-hoo! :)) But, if it's a suite...I don't know. My friend and I personally don't mind having to get up for refreshments. At the most, we only get one drink, (The only times I've ever gotten food was at the Jan. 20th Blues (Goodberry's chocolate puck) and Feb. 14th Caps (Salted pretzel...BIG mistake. :sick: Next time, I'm going for unsalted.) games.) and booze is definitely not an issue for us.

I'm sorry to be against a suite, because I know it is *real nice* and possibly an once in a lifetime thing for some folks. But besides the thought of inviting my friend, (Which will more than likely not happen, because I really need to know what game this get-together will happen at before I try to make such plans.) I've also had the following thought...as the Beach Boys would sing, wouldn't it be nice if we could make LGC.com be heard at a game? I was thinking it would be cool to take over a section in club level or part of a section in the lower level. We could try to be one of the loudest sections AND especially get in some advertising on TV and/or the Jumbotron through bringing a sign or banner to flash.

Maybe it's wishful thinking, but maybe it's not...it's whatever you all want to do. :)

[stewart123]

I don't think LGC.com has a signup-sheet script, and using individual postings stretching back months is somewhat confusing, so I would suggest setting up a couple polls in the Poll Topic.

The specific game to attend (10/28, 1/20, 3/10 so far, maybe add a good weekend game not on the 24 plan), and the type of seats desired (suite, club, lower).

Might want to mention that it should only be filled out by people who will definitely attend, regardless of the game chosen, and then it could be used as a headcount also. If the Poll topic tracks names internally, the website operator could help provide that info for use in coordinating.

If we're going to use this topic.. my vote is suite (3 attendees) and 1/20 against Ottawa.

Hmm.. the headcount issue. For my case it would be understated by two. Perhaps a third poll with 'Number of people who will be attending (1, 2, 3, 4, 5+)' and you could just multiply the results times the number of people for that answer.

If the moderators don't want this in the Poll topic, I can set this up on my site.

Count me in for one seat...I don't think any of my cohorts will cough up $$ for it. I'd like the 10/28 game, but I'll do any of them, so which ever you guys choose!

Me & mom, suite, 1/20 game. ;)

[HockeyPat]

You say when and I'm there. I just want to meet all you fellow freakazoids. You can only count me as a party of one. All my friends are married and have quit trying to have fun. :sick:

I need more hockey friends. :beatup:

[hyena]

lol. i know exactly what you mean. damn, were you around last year? i was in the same boat as you -- i don't know how many games i ended up going to alone. :beatup: luckily i was able to make my friend as insane as me and now we have season tix together. :D

my vote (2 people): club, 1/20 game....

[HockeyPat]

lol. i know exactly what you mean. damn, were you around last year? i was in the same boat as you -- i don't know how many games i ended up going to alone.

Yes, I went to about 20 games last year by my lonesome. I took dates/friends to about five games. The three dates hated it and didn't mind telling me so. So I kicked them to the curb. LOL One female friend, (read: not romantic possibility) actually went to two games and seemed to enjoy the atmosphere of it all. We won both games with the friend and lost all three with the nags, I mean dates.

[SouthernHockeyChick]

Well Mona, you probably already know, but we're in for 2. And I voted on game (Ottawa 1/20) and suite in the poll section.

[Jeff O Rocks]

Cool!!! ;)

[caniaccat]

Me and my wife would love to tag along. :D We don't care about which game, or where we sit. The suite does sound like a better deal though. Let's go canes!! Let's go canes!! Let's go canes!! Let's go canes!! Let's go canes!! Let's go canes!! Let's go canes!!

[Jeff O Rocks]

ok guys... I emailed Kim today..she is in charge of Suite rental menus..she also told me those prices may change a little...she will know for sure later on in August..

here is the info that she sent on beverages...they also have wine, all kinds of soft drinks, juices...and you can even personalize with hershey kisses!! :D the menu is too big to post here but I have it saved as a word document and I can email it to you from my home email...just let me know...

It looks like the game will be Ottawa on 1/20...so all we have to do is decide where this "meeting of the minds" will take place!! ;)

Suite Beer Selection
Domestic 3.50
Budweiser, Bud Light, Michelob Light, Ice House, Coors Light
O’Doul’s (non-alcoholic)

Doc Otis Hard Lemonade 3.50

Imported 4.00
Heineken, Amstel Light

[Kat]

So you have to pay for beer in addition to the suite fee? Hmm...

-Kat

[Stormbringer]

Question: Do they offer any of the following for soft drinks?

Dr. Pepper/Mr. Pibb, Cherry Coke, Vanilla Coke, Ginger Ale, and/or Root Beer?

[Jeff O Rocks]

Here is her email..she mentions beverages...not sure what kind...

Mona,
Well first let me say we hope to see you in a suite this season! I am
attaching the menu from this past season for you to look at. You can at
least get some idea of things we serve and costs. Some of the costs will
be increasing this season so your best bet would be to touch base with me
mid-August and I will have the new menu\prices completed. I believe for
rental suites what we do is a $25 per person food and beverage minimum.
Please let me know if I can assist you further!
We look forward to having you at a Canes game!!!
Kim

Suites Soda & Juice Selection

Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, 7-up, Mountain Dew, Ginger Ale, 1.50
Aquafina Water 1.50
Ocean Spray Apple & Orange Juice 2.00
Counter Culture Gourmet Coffee (Pot) 15.00

[Guyute]

I could deal with that beer selection....

but no, I won't be paying Extra for beer when paying $200+ (for the two of us) just to sit there.

much better deal for drinkers, to buy $60 tix at club lvl and buy what you want.

Is everyone agreed on the club level seats then??? $60 and buy what you want??

[Stormbringer]

And just when I was starting to think suite wouldn't be so bad, I read about the extra $25.00 for food and beverages, making it $125.00 just for me to attend. :eek: No thanks. Definitely club level for me again...I've never spent twenty-five smackers on food and drink. The most I've ever spent was around $8-10.00.

So yes, definitely club level and pay for what you want, definitely the K-Mart in Cincinnati. ;)

[Kat]

Yeah... $100+ and then $25 minimum on top for food/drink seems a bit excessive. Doubtful I could talk my sweetie into that.

-Kat

[Jeff O Rocks]

For future use, if any of us could afford a suite, this is a really cool feature..

We are also pleased to announce that you may order food from your suite with the touch of one button. On each phone there is a “hot button” that says “FOOD”. You may press this button and be connected directly to an operator who can assist you with your food and beverage needs.

[SouthernHockeyChick]

The food and beverages are extra? I totally didn't understand that from what we had discussed. Forget it then. Club level sounds like the best deal to me too. (but, again, if suite is the consensus I can come up with the cash....a few days of eating nothing but Froot Loops won't kill me ;) )

[talkingcanes]

I'll be there whichever game you choose and if I can get rid of my tickets at a reasonable price, then I'd love to join in the LGC festivities. It sounds like a rip snorting good time :D :cool:

[Ashleygirl]

You guys obviously haven't seen the dessert cart that come around to the suites....cheesecake heaven :spin: But I guess some cheese poporn in the club level will do!

[VandyCane]

Maybe they have changed it from last year....The price is $85 for the ticket with a minimum of $25 dollars in food per person. That makes it $110 per person. The $25 dollars in food per person is issued toward any item---beer, wine, soda, and "real food". For example you have twenty people in a suite you have to spend $500 in food and drink. You can order $250 in food and then have them stock the remaining $250 in drinks. If you go over the minumum amount then the extra goes on the suite renters credit card. I hope that explains it a little better. The suite is great if everyone drinks/eats about the same. If someone only drinks soft drinks then they have to make their money's worth by eating more food! :D

That sounds more logical...I can dig a little deeper..Kim said if I had any questions, to contact her!! :roll:

[SouthernHockeyChick]

Well, if that's the deal that sounds pretty cool.

OK....my final answer is whatever consensus is I'll be fine with. Really....I don't care either way. Although a suite would be super cool....and probably my only shot at ever sitting in one. No corporate connections here. :sick:

[AbNormal27]

OK, let me see if have all of this straight.

January 20, 2004, Ottawa, club level seats ($60-$85?), who is going to be making the group ticket purchase, when do we have to commit, when do we have to pay, is RIO down with this, is there room for a "clone"?

Aaryn

[Lady J]

:evil: If we're gonna do the club level thing, then Rio and I can probably swing it. But, as it stands presently, we's poh fokes. So, if you guys wanna go with the suite ( which sounds like a fun time ;) ), we'll just have to crash the party during intermissions from the cheap seats.

I think the consensus is Ottawa, 1/20...club seats........so hurray Rio and J can join us! :spin:

Aaryn, I have been in contact with my ticket rep.....I am not sure when we will need your commitment, but I will let him know that is the option we will be choosing and go from there. We all hope you can join us!! :spin:

That would be very cool if our out of town lgc-ers could make it too. I hope it works out Aaryn and you can make it! :D

[hyena]

yay, i'm glad we're going with the club level.

wooha, i'm excited! :D

[Guyute]

thanks for the clarification vandy. it sounds like if we put 20 drunks together, who wanted very little food, and eveyrone wanted to drink.. it would work out. (or the other way, all food, no alcohol). but, it sounds like a recipe for some pissed off people. someone barely eats any food, has no drinks... and I have a few beers, and a whole pizza.. could easily create some animosity.

I would do either. I have no problem sitting in club seats and wandering down to our regular bartender (assuming she's back this year) and grabbing a couple of beers between periods.

Thanks a ton Mona for dealing with this! :D

[CzechIt]

I think I am still confused. Is it decided ottawa 1/20 club level or is everything still in the air?

[Jeff O Rocks]

With all the votes in, we are going with club seats for the 1/20 Ottawa game. The only thing left is to get a definite headcount so I can relay all the info to John!! :spin:

[Stormbringer]

When do we have to pay? I'm definitely in depending upon that and possibly transportation...

[CzechIt]

ok Ottawa club level (1/20) it is! Good to know :D

[Jeff O Rocks]

When do we have to pay? I'm definitely in depending upon that and possibly transportation...

Not sure yet...I will get a definite head count and then contact my ticket rep..

[1Irbegirlforever]

Well, 1/20 is a Tuesday, so we can't make it. :sad: We'll sure miss getting together again with our lgc crowd! You guys have a great time and don't get too rowdy! :beatup:

[nccanes]

IrbeGirl, make sure you let us all know when you come into town for a weekend game. There are so many that are season ticket holders and 24 game pack holders that I'm sure everyone would love to get together before the game to catch up with you and Mr. IrbeGirl! :D
