It looks like there is still a "top two" in the attack twice but not the center.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

I continue to be a STH because I like supporting hockey in Columbus. I believe one of these days they'll get it right and it will all be worth it.

*sigh*

Sounds like why I keep my Browns season tickets. I figure if they ever get good, I'll have seats.

Also, why I'm considering a six-game CBJ pack.

Save yourself the trouble and get a six pack of beer

Remember when the ushers wouldn't let you get up or sit down while the puck was in play? Joshjoshjosh remembers.

And that was a GOOD thing!

Anyone with lowers for the last game of the season, I am interested. A few friends from Canada (CBJ fans, of course) are coming and looking for tickets. PM me with details. Thanks.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Wait. Someone in Canada respects the Jackets?


You were all thinking it.

 

[Dr. Fire]

Well, despite my wife's protestations, I re-upped for next season. But if these guys don't get us into the play-offs, or at least be in the mix all season, I don't think she will stand for throwing anymore money down that rat hole.

You think playoffs are realistically in the cards for next season?

Despite my reservations I did same thing.

It has nothing to do with what my expectations are. It has everything to do with if they play well enough to make my wife happy!

I am as discouraged as a fan as I have been in the franchise's history right now (even skipped last Saturday's NJD game) but I never contemplated not re-upping. And no, I'm not independently wealthy. But I totally get why people might have had enough, or close to it.

As a married guy I literally did this:

Might I suggest that her protestations are a direct result of the mood you are in when they are out of it early, and not on the fact that they are out of it early?
Lol. And then I read your follow up post. Glad to hear you are in the boat! And hope your wife is happy next year - her happiness would make the rest of us happy too. It is all about her!

Looking for Season Ticket Partner

I've been a season ticket holder for seven years and was just informed that my ticket 'partner' (who would buy a quarter season from me each year) is no longer interested in going to games (he's given up all hope.)

I live in Cleveland so the agreement I always had with my 'partner' was that he could pick out of any games M-TH so that I could continue to attend the games with my father. The only restriction is you cannot take the Chicago Blackhawks game as I sell those tickets to a family member each year.

My tickets are lower bowl, center ice, 2 seats off of the red line (looking to move to the aisle if they become available.) Here is a picture.

Even if you're interested in one game or three games please let me know as every bit helps.

Thank you!

PS - Sorry for the advertisement / begging but I'm a young guy paying for these tickets so every game sold allows me to keep the seats for the following year!

Hey, all, I'm going to be in Columbus on Tuesday for the soccer match. Any food I should get before and/or after? Beer?

Check out the R Bar! Everyone should go at least once.

As far as food, if you ask 100 people you're going to get 100 suggestions. I recommend Condado Tacos.

That match on Tuesday just became a whole lot more important than it should be. #FireKlinsy

Plan on arriving to the fairgrounds early. The weather should be good and there will be a lot of tailgating. Parking can be a mess and if you try to get there just before game time.

Not likely a good one to take out of towners to unless they're Hawks fans. I'm sure CBJ fans will be out numbered by a lot. Certainly hope so and that management is completely embarrassed by it. At least I got $105/ticket out of my uppers.

The CBJ know it's going to be bad. They moved fan appreciation night to the Rangers game. It's always been the last home game unless CBJ have a back to back to end season and have to catch a flight out to close on the road.

Looking for CBJ Season Ticket Partner - Center Ice LB -

Red Line Lower Bowl - 115 - Row U - Seats 3/4 (will move to aisle if it becomes available)

http://aviewfrommyseat.com/photo/40498/Nationwide+Arena/section-115/row-U/seat-3/


I've been a season ticket holder for a couple years and have recently relocated back to Cleveland. I've had two 'quarter season' holders the past couple years who have thrown their hands in the air and given up on the union blue which has left me without any 'partners' for my tickets.

As I live in Cleveland I'd be looking to find someone who lives closer to the Columbus area and wouldn't mind taking a majority of the Monday - Thursday games.

I'm open to everything from 3 game 'packs' to quarter seasons to half season. VERY laid back and easy going and willing to work with you.

If you're interested reply back with an email address and I'll follow up.

Sorry for my shameless advertisement but I truly can't afford to continue to do this without partners.

 

[Derby]

I have four tickets to the "tunnel of pride" for the last game of the season to give away. Cool experience high-fiving and cheering the players as they move from locker room to Zamboni entrance on Main ice.

You need to be there around 6 for sign ins at Ice Haus. PM me if you are interested. I can email them once they are on my account.

I don't have season tickets this season, but for all of you who do here is a question - how do you feel about the club offering discounted lower bowl tickets to the Appreciation Night game?

 

[Columbus Mike]

I think it's sad they have to move it from a night when we play Chicago.

It's sad that the discounted tickets are likely being snapped up by Rangers fans.

It's sad that STH's won't win the jersey's from the players.

But I do have the pride of being a Day One STH. So I have that going for me.

 

[Bobcat110]

They're just trying to avoid the embarrassment of a half empty arena on Fan Appreciation Night because it's a Monday Night game. Which was after they moved Fan Appreciation Night from Saturday to avoid being embarrassed for their fans because NWA will be mostly packed with Chicago fans.

Of course, on that note, they didn't care enough to offer discounted tickets to season ticket holders for the Chicago game. They don't mind riding out the Chicago gravy train.

Anyway, as to Monday, I don't really care other than it means I might actually have to sit in my seats in the upper bowl if there aren't any self-guided upgrade seats available. I'd rather they be in the playoff hunt and not have to discount their tickets to get people to go, but here we are.......again.
