How was the viewing parties they've had so far? Was the lower bowl full? Thinking of going Monday night. Assigned seating or first come, first serve?

The 1st one was assigned seating.

Too bad NHL is putting the kabash on multiple viewing parties.

i.e. Tampa Bay.

I mean you are trying to grow the sport.

Dumb NHL. Just Dumb.

 

[LadyStanley]

FTR, it's not the "NHL", but their TV partner.

 

[li0lsh]

Got my seats in section 115! I hate the fact that we can't pick the seats directly. Had to refresh a bunch of times to get something I wanted.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Got my seats!

Me thinks this is going to be done a lot better.

The feedback I gave to them the last time was that they should consolidate people into dedicated sections, rather than opening up the whole tank. It creates a better sense of community and also makes us attractive to show on TV (Which was something they kept saying was a possiblity last time). But this time around, I could only get lower level seats. Nothing upper deck was available even when I specified that as my search.

I also think that the $5 is good because it was clear there were a ton of people who got tickets and didn't show up.

I also didn't get any upper bowl tickets. I even narrowed my search for upper bowl and still was only offered lower bowl.

Indeed, I would have gone to the earlier ones but they were sold out. Seeing so many empty seats just from the no shows in a picture just frustrated me.

Debating this one with myself. Not the kind of thing my wife would want to do but I can't get there by 5 without having her drive...

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Just checked my seats since pops bought them while I was at work. We'll be in section 116, row 11 and seats 22 and 23

 

[bluefunnel]

Well, it's happened. Someone already listed tickets for the viewing party at $100 on stub hub. Of course, tickets are still available.

sad, but even sadder is that some none hardcore fan that might not know exactly what is going on, but knows that the sharks are in the stanley cup finals, will see that price and be like i want to go see a game live and that is a good price.

It's not the NHL

After hearing that their is 1 game per series viewing party rule, I wish the sharks waited on this. God willing, if the sharks can win the cup on the road, I'd want to see it at sap center

the only way you are guaranteed to see it at the sap center while on the road is in game 7. but if you wait that long to try and host it, it might just not happen any more.

Huh? But you could also in game 5. So if the sharks were up 3-1 heading into game 5

and then the team decides not to do it in the 1st 2 games and the sharks/pens sweep. bye bye viewing party. and for the team bye bye money.

The money is going to charity.

 

[Barrie22]

Even the concession stands?

 

[Led Zappa]

Even the concession stands?

Not sure if gear is sold, but food is contracted out.

Regardless, the Sharks aren't doing it for money. They stopped doing it and started this year because it was requested by fans, especially STH's when they were asked what they could do to make fans happier this year.
