AYCE Seats & Traverse City On TV
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Thrashers hockey and food…two of my top three favorite things! And this season, one ticket gets me both at Blueland.
As Ben Wright over at the Blueland Blog indicates, the Thrashers will be offering up All You Can Eat seats in select locations. $39 gets you AYCE seats in sections 301 and 302 and $69 does the same in sections 203, 204 and 205. On the menu will be hot dogs, popcorn, nachos, pretzels and soda, (sorry, not beer).
Now, as someone who often has two teenage sons in tow when I make my way to Philips, this will be of great benefit. Trips to the concession counter with the whole fam can set me back fifty smackers…conservatively estimated.
Taking advantage of this deal a mere three times all but pays for my Center Ice package this year. Hoo-BOY!
Other professional sports teams have offered AYCE seats. The Braves, in fact, have done so over the past season or two. In fact, if memory serves, they also offered ticket packages that not only got you in the gate and fed you…but they also provided a $25 gas card to offset the expense to haul you and your crew down to The Ted.
Of course this past summer… 25 Washingtons pumped into the suburban assault vehicle might just have been enough get me there but not quite home.
Anyway, the concept of tickets combined with an All You Can Eat deal is a winner and the organ-I-zation is to be commended for offering it.
I just hope they don’t send me a nasty letter after my boys crash the counter multiple time each game.
Traverse City Games On TV
As if AYCE seats weren’t enough good news today…here’s more. We can watch the Traverse City tournament games on the NHL Network. They’ll be on tape delay, but hey…no complaints here.
Don’t have the NHL Network? Well…GET IT!
The schedule so far has the Thrashers/Lighting game airing at 2am on Monday Sept. 15 and the Thrashers/Wings game at 10pm on Wednesday Sept. 17.
Thanks go out to Holly Gunning at Thrashers Prospects Annex for bringing this to my attention on her fine blog.
