That's not good, I forgot about that. I'm in row 5 at the moment and I forgot if your not in the first 3 rows it's better to be in the higher rows as people walking can take up more of your view the lower you are.

202 had nothing, 222 had the very top and I don't think 208 had anything.

I have my relocation time for tomorrow, I'm really hoping there's some Row 1-3 seats available in the PL sections, these seem to be the best bang for your buck.

I'm not sure if I should call in, or go to the dome. I asked the Customer Service reps, and they said it didn't make any difference and there was no advantage to one over the other.

Thanks! I was able to get a pair of Greens in Sec 208 Row 19. Closer to Sec 209.

Drawback there is the high volume aisles feeding the 3rd level, otherwise nice seats and the guys on the other side of that aisle pay 2x!

Today I moved four seats from 204, row 9 to 210, row 3. These are both in the Red 1 price point. I was a little hesitant to give up those seats since they are actually the first row in the section and we have awesome neighbours. But I do prefer being closer to centre ice, both in section and row. There were a few options in the golds, but that it too big of a price jump.

So say within Neutral ice higher row or lower row inside the zone?
I'm all about getting lower. Ive sat in the corner and the blue line and to me the views are all good in the second bowl and the closer u can get to the ice the better.

I'm now only two seats away from the whites. We are the 2nd and 3rd seats in from the aisle.

Thanks for your input.

Yeah I was quite torn over the choice and in the end opted to stay closer to center ice row 18 mostly due to the fact that they are much closer to the Aisle than the row 14's were and I generally go with my young children so getting in and out of the middle of the row is a bit more of a pain. That and I have a bit of a bias for the Flames attack end as well but I was soooo close to grabbing the row 14's sigh ah well what's done is done. Just going to have to wait see what comes up next year.

Do you remember what was available in gold? I didn't bother going because I assumed there wouldn't be anything I would want to move to...

^call in, you can call anytime after your set date and time, might wait on hold for 15-20 mins, but they were VERY helpful when on the line.

Was able to get slightly better seats, I think...

I went from PL6 Row 5, to PL17 Row 2.

Love it, because I'm finally in the first 3 rows in PL, and don't have to worry about people walking in the front blocking the view.

Iffy on it, because it's no longer in the attack zone, and it's way off to the opposite side. It's too bad the Dome isn't safe enough to enter yet, I would have felt a lot more comfortable if I was able to sit in the seats and check them out first hand.

EDIT: not sure if there are more relocation times for people, but I went into the office first thing in the morning and there were only 3 of us waiting. There was no wait for me, so it was a quick in and out.

Hey, my season tickets are currently in pl4, row 5. I haven't say in them yet however. I have a feeling people will be getting in my view in these seats. Do you think I'm better off moving up a few rows? Thanks.

It's not that big of an issue, but it does happen, and it can be annoying during crazy parts of the games. My seats were also aisle seats, so I would have people walking by me all the time. If you could actually get into Rows 1-3, then I'd say go for it, since they are hard to come by. If not, then I'd say stick with the ones you have.

Okay, thanks for the advice. I'll give them a call and see if I can get into the first 3 rows but I doubt it. I just hope the camera isn't in front of me.

ah, I forgot about the camera. It wasn't an issue for me in PL6, but I have no idea about PL4.

That sounds like a "no-brainer" move to me.

That's what I figured too! I'm just over-thinking, and nitpicking.
