Hi all, as the tickets go on sale in just under a months time, I am hopefully going to get 5 games in, maybe more. Just been on the Ticketmaster website and they don't allow international customers to use the FastTrack service (am going to email them just in case because it let me do it on the Canadian Ticketmaster site!), so I'm just querying on the Will Call. With the Wachovia, can you pick up all your tickets at once or will they only let you have the tickets on the day/evening of the event? All help will be greatly appreciated smile.gif

I am thinking of alternating my seats for each game to get a good feel of the whole place. I am looking at the 'tunnel' sections 121, 122 and 123 for my 'splurge' options, and probably a $26 for budget reasons, haha.

I believe that WILL CALL, will let you pick up your tickets the day of the game.

There really isn't much difference in those sections you posted.

That's great, thank you. Would of been easier if I could pick up all of the tickets at once, but that's fine smile.gif

I guess if I were to buy a ticket by the tunnel, it would have to be on the end so I could see them walk back and forth, naturally. But just getting a ticket wherever for each of the games I want is the main thing.

Hey Dave, when are you planning on going to Philly?

I'm seriously contemplating making a road trip to Philly for the Nov 2nd game vs the Oilers. I'm checking into the cost of that. I'd like to take in more than one game but they are on the road after and play the Islanders before (who wants to see the Islanders blink.gif )

The 5 home games in succession we have in March.

Wow, long road trip indeed smile.gif I'd love to come along a road trip with some FMB members.

Get them when they come out if you're definitely going, that would be the safer option.

Ahh, perhaps I might be lucky then with Comcast (if they have a 'print at home' option) smile.gif

I know some teams' tickets go on sale on the 13th but is ours definitely on the 6th? I thought it was September 20th.

People that want the Spectrum game will need to know that...

Thought so, thanks.

I am thinking on Section 121 rows 1-8. Hopefully I'll get one for a game I want.

I haven't been in Wachovia Center but if its like other arenas, you may want to consider moving up to a higher row. I find if you are below row 10, and in the middle, you get blindspots in the corners on the side you are sitting on. I would recommend row 12-15 but maybe someone that is more familiar with the arena can guide you further.

That's a fair shout, actually. I was in row 2 once before at Scotiabank Place and I agree, the corners were restricted in view. I will take that into consideration, thanks for reminding me smile.gif

I'm excited for the 20th!

You're pretty much right. Rows 10-20 are really the best rows to sit in the first level. 12-15 probably being the best of that. Unless you're between the blue lines, in which case any row is good (but the penalty boxes and bench can block your views of the corners if you're in the first 3 or 4 rows.

As for buying online, can you dictate what row you want or does it give you the best available?

Best available by price level. If you want something specific, you have to call (which is usually the best way to get tickets anyway).

Could be pricey from the UK laugh.gif I'll go for Section 121 and take a chance I think. I enjoyed being really close smile.gif

Thanks for the information, guys!

No broadband phone? I don't know what rates are like over there, so you'd definitely know better.

If you want to give me your personal and credit card information, I'd be happy to take care of the ticket purchase over the phone for you. wink.gif
