Default Seat Relocation...

Anybody go down to the dome today to see what it was like. I have first row 300's and am thinking about going down to see if I can find any seats first row 300's closer to centre ice (currently in 318). I know its a pipe dream just thought I'd ask if anyone noticed anything.

Is your relocation today? Mine isn't until tomorrow- they base it on how long you've had your tickets.

Just got back from the Dome. There are probably only about 100 seats available. Absolutley none in the 300's. I asked to use the evevator and they told me there is nothing up there. The lights for the 300's weren't even on. There was a really good set of seats there sec. 214 row 12 in flames attack zone but I couldn't justify trading my 300's in as they are way to good to give up (value wise). There were about 6 seats in the club section which surprised me because last I heard those were wait listed. Very slim picking though.

First row on the first balcony, I didn't look look for them but none jump out as I looked around. Most of the seats I would say are near the top of the second level with a few pairs down in the bowl.

Does anyone know how many seats they have to 'reserve' for game day sales? I think I heard that they only sell 16,000 of the 19,258 seats and the rest are reserved seats for players and game day sales. If that's the case shouldn't there be close to 3,258 seats left for the season ticket holders to shuffle around in at this time of year? I have no idea if any of that is true or not that's why I'm asking.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I remember last year the demand for season tickets or ticket packs was so high they couldn't meet the demand. They left portions in certain sections in the dome for game day sales. Looking at the map its the top third of sections 215, 223, and 201. I would also assume that a number of seats in the fan zones also get lumped into those. I would guess that the tickets available for game days would be closer to 1500.

I would like to move from row 2 to row 3 in 317. I can't stand seeing only 70% of the ice. People always seem to love to sit too far forward. I am sick of asking. I might even move down, because I hate it so much.

Try sitting in that front row of the 300's. Where my seats are if I don't lean forward I can only see like 50% of the ice because of that rail and the concrete half-wall. In no way can you sit back in your seat and still enjoy the play.

Just got back from today's relocation. There were maybe 20 greens- none in the Flames Attack Zone. Most were in 205 and 206. There was also about 20 blues in the back of sections 227 and 228. Maybe a handful of reds in the lower bowl; no 2nd level reds. 2 seats in 115 right in row 1.

Slim pickings to say the least. Which is good for the Flames anyways.
