Club Seats

When we went to the Anaheim Ducks game in January, the cost of club seats, purchased off Stubhub.com were $78. That's the same cost of a cheap seat at a Winnipeg Jets game.

Sure, you could grab a ticket to the Ducks game for $29, but why? If I am travelling to attend a game, I would prefer to sit in good seats. This is just how I like to travel. And the view is always good, great even!

There are some very practical advantages to sitting in the Club Seats. First off, they generally allow you access to the arena or stadium an hour before general admission. This was great when we were going to an NFL football game. We got to see the teams warm up on the field, plus we got to watch the other televised games from the lounge and "pre-game" a bit.

Washroom ratio is way better too. This is great if you are travelling with kids. It's a 2 minute wait for the washroom instead of the typical 15 minute lineup downstairs.  This is also great if you plan to indulge in a number of over-priced beverages.

Club seats are also great for acquiring those over-priced beverages. The waitstaff will bring them right to your seats. So that's good. You won't miss the game in the beer line.

Food is better in club level too. You could have a prime rib sandwich rather than a salty concession hot dog. I actually enjoy a Jack & Coke with that sandwich.  In fact, the Honda Centre (Anaheim Ducks' arena) has a whole Jack Daniels lounge on the Club Level.  Nice eh?

So, if you are planning to watch hockey in the sunshine states like Florida, California or Arizona, I say "go for the good seats." They're a bargain. Great bang for your Canadian buck!
