Claude_Verret Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Well it took a long time for the Sabres to visit the land of NASCAR and college hoops this season, but they will finally come on Thursday. Needless to say this will be a huge contest. Who is in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirly5 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 If the game was on the weekend, I would be there. I think the NHL schedules these games during the week on purpose so fewer Sabres fans can attend. Damn you Gary Bettman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm yeah, we were looking on craigslist for decent tickets this week, but only found what appeared to be a couple pairs of good seats on there... are you suggesting just getting cheap tickets and then go sit in the empties after 1st intermission? ;) Edit: Where is the best place to get tickets at this point in time?

If it was a weekend game, I would make the drive over along with at least 10 other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! A scalper at the game. You should get good lower level seats under face value. You can't buy upper level seats and move down though, they are vigilant about checking your ticket before entering either the lower level and club seating areas. Also for anyone who goes to other NHL arenas I have always meant to ask about this. Do other arenas make you pass through a metal detector before entering? I always found it odd that they did this at the RBC center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patty16 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Was there a few years ago, they even passed out a code of conduct sheet to anyone wearing buffalo gear. All in all the most rude fans and STAFF i have ever experienced. The security personnel wouldnt let us down to the boards for pregame by the sabres end, but were letting canes fans without tickets down. awful awful will never go there again.

It's one thing for Sabres and Canes fans to do some jaw jacking back and forth, but the staff at RBC are in general not very friendly towards Sabres fans. Sabres fans really got under their skin and they certainly haven't forgotten. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, we as sabres fans are hideous monsters after all; bent on destruction and mayhem. Lock up the women and children! <_< For those of you going to the game keep track of all the cheap shots taken at Buffalo and sabres fans on the scoreboard. I have been there to watch other teams play the canes and this doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the staff, from the ticket taker to ushers, beer people, all such A holes. I was with my family too. Just totally uncalled for. Granted i must say there were some nice canes fans who actually apologized for the behavior they witnessed that was directed towards us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
