Hey, i'm about to buy tickets to see the Avalanche play the Canucks in March. This is my first NHL game ever. I've been a fan for years(Maple Leafs), but I live in the southeast and haven't gotten to watch much hockey outside of the Birmingham Bulls. For those of you who have been to games, i'm looking at some at rinkside in the 104 section(which is in the corner-middle, by the goalie faceoff circle but right on the ice, row 5) or in the middle but up one section. I could also get right behind the net, but I think i'd rather see the whole rink, especially with the Sedins out there.


Those who have been to games, what do you think? I'll be buying in the next hour or so.

Personally, I've sat in a box, Club seating, and just normal seats in the middle. Obviously the box was the best, but I also loved the Club seating. Getting the better seats is surprisingly cheap at Hockey games.

I like sitting a little higher than Row 5 and a little closer to the neutral zone but if you like being close to the action and seeing all the ice then you'll like those seats. Do not sit behind the goal. That'd be the worst decision you can make.

My mom got her company's club level seats at mid ice for a Jackets game a few weeks ago. They were by far the best seats I've had there and I've been to probably 30ish games in my life. I definitely would shell out some extra money to sit at mid ice at the top of the lower bowl again.

So there are some for "Prime Loge Center" Row 12. "Rinkside Center"(but really at the goal) row 5, and "Club Section"(also at the goal) for all about the same price. Sounds like most of you are saying Club Section or Prime Loge. Is this right? Is the Club Section like a box or anything?

I've been to 2 NHL games. I sat near center ice and from behind one of the nets. I know I'll be in the minority, but I enjoyed the seats behind the net more than I enjoyed the center ice seats. I felt like I could see the puck movement better.

I know they are pricey and popular but I don't like rink side seats

I would sit closer to the home teams attack twice zone. You will see more action. So, row 5 closer to the goal would be better in my opinion. Most teams charge more for the attack twice zone. It is a more desirable location.

My company seats (OT BALLER ALERT) circa 1996-2001 were on row 2 directly behind the very far corner of the Avalanche bench two rows down from Bill Romanowski and about three rows down from Larry Walker. When Forsberg, Deadmarsh or Lemeiux would get stitched up it would be maybe four feet away. Granted, I didn't get every game, but more like every third game...

Those were the days my friend...
Now I just have Center Ice and remember those days findly...
