Default Club Seating Etiquette

Tonight will be my first time in club seats for a Flames game.

I want to properly represent the owner of the seats and not ef anything up so, other than not getting plastered and peeing in the corner, what are some do's and don'ts of being in a club seat? I think we're in 108. Any tips?

DON'T: Act differently than you would in any other seat.

The differences between club and regular seats:
- More comfortable seat
- Waiters
- A railing to keep the unwanteds out.

Proper Club seat etiquette is to not show up to the game despite having the tickets.

You're really overthinking things. It's not much different than regular seats.

Woah, it's hugely different. You can get nacho's brought to you in the middle of a period! Super fun, fancy times. Wear a tuxedo and speak with a British accent.

I recommend all goals be celebrated by hip thrusting into the face of your neighbour.

Remember to grasp your monocle before standing to celebrate a goal. It's bad form to have your monocle hit your neighbor.


Also, make some noise! Whenever I sat in club seats it always seemed quiet.

This.

As for the general etiquite when using somebody else's seats; I try to make sure I am not getting up and down during a period; and that I stay for the entire game. You already covered not getting plastered and random peeing.........

I think you're right re: over thinking it.

Depending which side of the ice you're on, don't forget to stand up, turn around and wave to the tv camera when the play comes to your end.

A word of advice. The curbside service can be pretty hit/miss. We were at a game back in November and it took them over a full period to bring us 4 beers. If you're doing some power-drinking, you may want to just go to the concession to get your own drinks. The curbside service also has a mandatory tip/convenience fee. Also if you're getting nachos, it's best to get those at the concession too, as the curbside ones are very skimpy on the cheese and jalapenos.

Other than that, just try not to be part of the groups of 6 people that slowly meander to their seats during the middle of play and take forever to sit down.

The club seats are a very quiet section, disappointingly. I'll be sitting there tonight as well so if you want to help me out and make some noise, that would be appreciated!

Like any other section, please do not stand up to go to the concession or bath room while the play is in progress. Please wait until a stoppage in play to return to your seat as well.

I can't be the only one who read the thread title too quickly and thought it had something to do with Clubbing Seals

Unless you're in the first 3 rows of section 200. Then you just pay club fees with no waiters.

- legs shoulder width apart
- swing down in a swift, fluid motion
- finish with an elbow drop and an "oooooooooh yeaaaaaah"

Section 108 is not club seating. Section 108 is one section over from the Flames bench.

In order to blend in, pay very little attention to the game and spend most of your time talking to the person(s) sitting beside you.

If you are in 108 you are not in the club seats.

Edit: jschick88 beat me to it.
