3 tickets @ 200 ea = $600
Dinner for 3 @ 50 a plate = 150

$750 is the approx real value if it was a night out with the boys. Is Francis buying Dome Foam? That's at least another 60 bucks a head.

The meet and greet would be sorta cool with the players. Viewing the press box would also be sorta sweet.

I suspect if its for a registered charity you also get the tax credit as well, That's 15% too so the reduced cost isn't too bad.

Best of luck to the bidders

I thought you didn't get a tax credit for auction items or raffle tickets?

I'd pay the max I'd pay for Flames tickets to a single game. $100 bucks a ticket. Meeting the players would be neat but not $400+ neat.

I don't think I'm the target market.

I was offered a package this year that the winner couldn't use.

Lunch with Burke
Access to practice and autographs
IIRC, 4 tickets to game

They wanted $3000.

I'd order the most expensive thing on the menu then send it back after 2 bites and ask for chicken fingers.

TAKE THAT, FRANCIS!

Actually the catwalk isn't so bad. I spent 3 years up in the box and honestly, the cages around the sides are so high you feel more like you are going through a tunnel then walking on the catwalk. If you look straight ahead into the pressbox while walking, it's not so bad. Worst part about the press box is its old and really cramped and uncomfortable. And the old rickety elevator ride up (although they may have had to update that post-flood)

The catwalk to the Jumbotron though? That's a whole different story. I did it once so I could say I did. That was all they could convince me to do.

Ah yes, the buffet of pizza and deadly e-coli burgers. Seriously, don't eat the burgers. 5/5 times that I was violently ill after eating them.
