There's a bottleneck in 227 too. Basically the same row, but one section closer to centre ice.

You are saying the 212 side is more congested than the 226 side? People coming from the train or around 17th avenue then the roundup center would get in at the Fanatic store and then 226 is right there. People from Olympic avenue would see 212 more convenient. Personally I like to be close to center versus lower down depending on the situation.

For me, the West side is a non-starter unless I were to get phenomenal seats. I love being able to see the backs of the players on the benches. No bottleneck if you leave straight out the doors and walk around the Dome outside. Everyone has different priorities of course.

We ended up sacrificing a few rows in order to move closer to the middle, and on an aisle. Aisle seats are the bomb. There was nothing available in the whites rows 11-15 which is what we were after.

Aisle seats and a section over to the middle. That's great, good for you.

Thanks, it's funny with these things though that it's like buying a big ticket item. I regret giving up the 3 rows haha.

Would think the concourse is less busy on that side during the game though? The east side has the east lower bowl added to the mix. On the West side the club takes care of that.

There are a couple of nice pairs now in row 4 of the press level.

Good point I didn't think of it that way. But I never have problems getting drinks in more than a couple minutes with one sneaky vendor. Washrooms, though, is another story.

Section 108, row 5 look like a sweet pair. Right beside the tunnel to the Flames locker room. I think these are seats where kids can high-five players as they head off.

Edit - those went quick - great move whoever grabbed them.

108 is ok for high 5s, but the lower seats have an obstructed view of the attack zone.

I just moved from sec205 row18 on the aisle, to Sec221 Row15 on the Aisle as well. I really wanted to get to the attack zone in the oranges and remain on the aisle. This move checked all those boxes. My old seats are good for someone wanting greens.

I wouldn't want to have seasons in 108. They're neat for a one-time experience, but you end up watching most of the game on the scoreboard. My former employer had seats in Row 4 of 108, and they're great for action in the zone in front of you, but you basically can't see 2/3 of the ice.

If I was behind the benches, I wouldn't want to be lower than the 10th row.

Is anyone able to post prices for White, Blue, Orange, Green? I think I know Green - $1776.04...

Our relocation time is 4:00 and I just want to get a good idea of what costs are at those four levels.

Thanks!

White and Blue are the same price: $3113.94
Green are $1776.04 and there aren't any Orange available in the entire building right now.

I also moved 15 mins ago from section 217 row 18 to section 222 row 14, so there are some greens in the attack zone. I like to have access to the main bowl and the mezzanine level.

Does anyone know if the Saddleroom Grill would be a good place to get season tickets? It's almost as high as PL and costs 6100 per ticket. Is the convenience of food, drinks, and washrooms worth the money? How is the view of the game?

Thank you.

I saw those available. Is the glass above the stairs an obstruction to the view?

Don't think it will be a problem. I was able to stay in the middle of the section.
