I am visiting Orlando/Disney from May 13-May 23. our train from Boston to Washington and then Washington to Kissimee arrives around 1:30 pm on the 13th. I had been planning to rent my car at the Car Care Center (Alamo Kia Soul) already have the reservation there. - And check in at my place at Silver lake (just off property 2 min from All star music and animal kingdom) and then my plan was to drive to Tampa and go to the Eastern Conference Finals vs the Caps.
I am a Bruins fan, and also an employee of the TD garden in Guest Services as an usher. We work with Delaware North, run by Jeremy Jacobs and Charlie Jacobs (the jacobs family) and always believe in the Delaware North motto Creating Special experience for every guest one guest at a time and the 10 points of Guest path, which I follow every day at my job.
I have never been to a Tampa Bay Game and I thought it would be fun even though we lost to check out the world class Amalie arena for the first time. I went on ticket master tonight in hopes to snag a ticket. the ticket for the Loft section Tampa Bay Times loft had one for the 13th seat 213 row A seat 1 in the TBTLFT. I thought great. this should work out perfect. Tix are a bit pricey at $335 total ($286 ) before taxes. But I thought heck I get a great club seat. and I got the last one For game 2.
Or so I though.
I go to put in my credit card and find out I can't buy the ticket because I'm not a Florida Resident. WTF?
What gives? I have never heard of such a thing. I understand the reasoning to limit fights and create a better fan experience. Its one thing to not allow opposing jerseys into the arena, but to completely ban anyone from outside the area from coming to a game is ridiculous.
I just wanted to experience a playoff game and watch the team that beat us play in the ECF. I wanted to have a good time at the Amalie arena and enjoy its ambiance.
and the playoff experience. I wanted a seat in the club level and to enjoy that experience as well.
But now I'm probably going to miss out on this all because of these ridiculous draconian policies of the arena.
Well, rest assure I'm calling customer service tomorrow and asking to speak to a premium club manager. I am going to get that 213 A 1 seat come hell or high water.
I'm calling today at 9am. I can understand maybe limiting people from the opposing team area like DC area, but Boston? Why can't someone from an out of state city who just wants to enjoy a hockey game, get a ticket to the Club level or any seat in the stadium just because I'm not from Florida.
This is a ridiculous policy and needs to end.
I was excited to see a different arena, but looks like I might not get that chance.
Sincerely,
