Tickets on a small budget

[Thiscouver]

I would like to go to Jax games, but don't have much extra money. Would it be better to go to all the games on the 300 level, or a couple on the lower levels?

from my personal experience the mid lvl (200 lvl?) would be the best way to experience the game. its enough to see the ball and helps you see the play develop. the total experience. i think the upper lvl would kind of ruin it. you'd probably have trouble seeing the ball. i know i have trouble seeing the ball...and i play the game :rotfl:

It's a trade-off, and it comes down to personal preference.

From higher up, you can watch the whole play develop and really get a good feel for strategy and tactics. Even if you can't precisely see the ball, you can usually figure out who has it and follow it's movement around the floor.

From closer down, you get a better view, but the view is of a smaller part of the game. The bonus is that you get to hear the "car-wreck" sound when two players collide, and see the players' expressions change to a wince when they're hit hard.

As of now, I sit 10 rows up on one of the corners and am happy with my seats. I am toying with the idea of trying a similar angle at about 15 to 20 rows, though.

A couple of games or all of them...the first choice...easy for me. I have ony ever missed one Rock home game and that was because someone stole my purse. So...for me...no choice.

And...just my opinion...there are no bad seats; just a different perspective. I love my Rocks seats....four rows off the foor, off the goalie's right shoulder....FABULOUS!!!! But I have tried all kinds of others and find the perspective gives me a very different view of the game.

Now....having said all that...I love to be close to the action....close enough for the players to hear me"communicate".

If I had to choose between a few seats up close or sitting in the nosebleeds and getting to see the whole season, I would definately sit in the nosebleeds. But then again I used to work two jobs to support my lax habit. :p

From personal experience, having sat in blue sections 301, 304, gold sections 107, 110, blue section 314, Adrenaline and again in 314, you can clearly see that I'm an upper bowl man myself. Even at the Gardens I was in the greens and greys, or last row reds. On my budget it allows me to see all of the games and as a wannabe goalie, it helps me see how plays develop so that if I ever run into a similar situation for Fann Cup games, I'm better able to position myself to try to make a save.
I'm a dyed in the wool upper bowl fan... :D
