Lot of shows getting booked at The Rock this summer.

Latest is Gavin DeGraw and Shania Twain on July 7.

I think the Cup photos are during the game, so there won't be any conflict (other than, say, if you want to see the game )

lol so my time for the photo Sunday wound up being 9-9:15, with any luck that's during the second intermission. But at least I have time to do the section party before the game and watch the actual ceremony. I wonder if they stuck anyone with 7-7:30? I wouldn't be too happy if that was my time

Game was originally scheduled for 5pm,but now puck drop is set for 5:26 (according to TG), so you are looking at a time slot as much as an hour after the game?

I got 7-715pm ... which I was initially figuring wasn't too bad, as it should be late second period/intermission, so maybe miss a couple of minutes at most.

However, the e-mail I just received said that "the estimated wait time could be up to one hour".

Yeah ... I think I'll pass, as that would mean missing half the game. I guess i will wander over to see what the wait really is ... maybe they are just (for once) under-promising and will over-deliver. Although I was wondering how they could possibly accommodate anywhere near the number of accounts that must have renewed by now (even if renewals are slow).

I got 5:30p.. That's actually a downgrade because I'd be stuck in the arena for a while after lol. Not sure if I'm interested in this one

lol oh great, I forgot this wasn't a 7 PM start time like everything else

Now I might have to change lots for Sunday, mine isn't usually open more than an hour after the game. Or I'll just pass cause I have a couple of Cup pictures already but wanted another.

Even if it was say 2000 people that renewed by now (which would be staggeringly low) each printing out their ticket and getting one photo, and guesstimating 10 seconds to get everyone's photo taken which is probably conservative - by my quick math that would be about 5 1/2 hours...yikes, I might not bother.

Yeah ... that's what I am figuring.

Great example of a really nice idea that probably wasn't thought through well enough. It doesn't seem possible that there is enough time to fulfill the promise to get everyone a picture. They can't start until around 530 (since Cup will be part of pre-game ceremony) and, as you said, it seems like it would take until several hours after the game to get everyone in.

I think the only way I'll really be tempted to stay is if the game goes to OT (ending after 8) then I stay for the fireworks and after that look at the line and hopefully see it isn't as bad as I fear...but if my time is 9-9:15 AND I get an hour delay

Oh well no skin off my nose since I have a couple of recent ones from the draft but boy I can't wait to hear the complaints after this one

btw there are also $20 Mystery Pucks available for this game signed by guys from the '95 team.

Today I learned that Shania Twain is still, apparently, relevant

Just think of the jersey fiasco to start the season...I see this event being an even bigger cluster...

In reading this, I just realized I am on my third rep since then

 

[Colin226]

Oh right, it's a 5pm game starting at 5:26p.. Great, so my 5:30p slot means I'd miss the entire first period.. Yeah, I'll pass on this

Did the Devils do anything for fans at the game the other night because of the weather? I realize the snow on Tuesday wasn't a blizzard or anything, but traffic made it literally impossible to get to the game for some. In the past they used to hand out some extra tickets...

They didn't even tell people to move down, which they usually do on snow games.

And Devils management can't understand when I tell them that they are anti-fan.

It starts at 5:30, and most people aren't going to miss the ceremony. If you go immediately after the ceremony you shouldn't have too long of a wait.

I won't be at the game, but I sent the info to the people who bought our tickets and the time slot we have is 6:45-7pm.

It should go relatively quickly if it's literally 1 picture and you're out of there. There's no lingering or anything. The longest wait could be waiting for the picture to print and that's maybe an extra 5 minutes.

When they did they heard many complaints from STHers in the lower level.

You could have moved on your own...people were showing up throughout the game.

Do you really need to be told to move down?

My experience, and I understand it's a large generalization, is that the season ticket people downstairs seem like an awfully sensitive bunch.

The one time was because they said move down and people invaded the Club Seats - it was a nightmare.

Some days the ushers are more particular than others.

I mentioned this in the out of town scoreboard thread last night, but the Flyers gave their fans free hot dogs, pretzels and soda refills last night.
They also had free tix available at the box office.

Nice to see they finally reported accurate attendance numbers for a change (12,531). I've never seen the Flyers running ticket promos this late in the season, no way they were actually selling to 101% of capacity all season long.

My seats are downstairs.

On snow games like that, it is a nice touch when they tell fans to move down. Instead of treating fans like a number, they are treated like a valued client.

I don't know ... how many sth accounts have renewed by now? Even if they can get SIX done each minute (seems like a stretch to take a picture every 10 seconds) ...that's 360 in an hour. What if 2,000 accounts want a picture? That's 5.5 hours of pictures, starting at 5:30.
