I tried to get tickets to the opener / Sakic retirement game this morning and came away empty handed. Certainly disappointing, I’ve been to each of the past 3 home openers - it was becoming a tradition. I wasn’t willing to get one of the 14 games packs because no Wild games were included (my wife is a hard core Wild fan, originally from MN) and I passed on a presale email because they didn’t have tickets in the area I usually sit. (that would be the cheapest seats in the house - upper deck behind the goal - actually really like sitting there.) As a consolation prize, I’ll be at Game 2 against Vancouver.
The Avs have abandoned TicketMaster for Ticket Horse. I’m all for alternatives to TicketMaster, but Ticket Horse’s website sucks. You have to select the quantity of tickets, then the seat location. If you do this select seat location first, then change the number of tickets, the site changes the default seat location back to “Best Available“. What the hell? Why in the world do these two parameters have to be on separate pages?
In better news, I got road tickets to the Avs Dec 21st game in Minnesota, and also a Wild / Oilers game on Dec 23rd. That reminds me, last year in Minnesota, I saw the Wild and Oilers play and I sat next to these two older women. The game eventually went to a shootout and the women got up and headed for the exits during the break between the end of OT and the start of the shootout. They said they didn’t like the shootout. I guess that’s the kind of dedication it takes to be considered the 4th best fans in the NHL.
Anyway, I’ll be at training camp tomorrow, bright and early, wearing my “Payton #81” unipron jersey. Come say hi.
