Sorry I meant the 217 seats. It looks like they were pretty close to the asile and might be obstructed by the glass from the entrance to 217.

I didn't expect this many attack zone Oranges to be available.

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to sit in those seats. I moved to 217 last week from 216.

Yeah me too. I thought I would call them one more time to see if any were available. I'm really happy I called!

Are the Orange seats just not showing up on the app? I just looked through again and I still can't see a single orange.
I was never looking for an orange personally, but I still find it strange that I haven't even seen one.

I believe so. I kept checking the app yesterday morning and never did see any. I went down to the Dome at 2pm and they had some available on their computers.

Saddleroom Grill
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 would say no. Anyone can utilize all the amenities that the restaurant has to offer. It might make more sense to have seats in the upper rows of 208/209 or 215/216 near the entrances of the restaurant.

I had my time earlier today. I stayed in 214 and moved down 2 rows as well as 5 seats closer to the blue line (in the flames attack zone).
There were other options where I could have dropped 4 rows but would either have had to have left the attack zone or gone to the corner whites within it. We wanted to stay in our section as we quite like it. So a small improvement but an improvement nevertheless.
There was a nice pair in 210 row 16 someone should really enjoy.
Good luck to others yet to come. There's still a few good options out there, at least in whites, that I assume will be improvements for folks who are set to dial in as they probably have the high rows what with being the newest of ticket holders.

Curious, what are the pros and cons of sitting in the ends? I have never sat in the end, but I'd be curious for next years relocation (after my third year of PL), of maybe trying those for a year. only down side I can see is that I probably wouldn't love looking through the netting?
That's about all though.Even though I'm in the last row in the PL, I still love that I can see the game laterally from side to side.

That's awesome!
I didn't realize you jumped sides of the arena as well. I seemed to recall you were on the other side of the attack zone end based on last year's relocation discussion. So when you said you moved a section over I guess I just assumed it was your neighbouring section.
I'll high five you as I walk past you and up some more flights, Mr aisle-man.

The price jump from PL row 1-3 isn't much more to get into the orange. I'm trying to scope something in 216, been checking everyday haha.

Why I like sitting along the side is that of course the netting isn't in the way for one thing, but you're also not as far away from the play if its in either end. If you're behind a goalie in one end of the rink and the play is at the other, you're quite far away. You also have backs to the play quite often.
Along the side of the rink you're seemingly more in the action and not so much looking behind players. I think this is why centre ice is usually the most coveted, similar to a 50 yard line. You're always in the heart of the action. My personal preference is to pick an end and be inside the blue line along the side so you're right in the heart of an attack zone with great sight lines. But everyone has a preference and validity to their choices.
I imagine folks like behind the nets because they're of the best value for price point I believe, and if you're in the corners, the rows are much smaller as well. Our rows are quite long, 20+ per I believe. Corner rows of course are way smaller and only decrease the lower you get which must be nice.
That's about all I can think of for the moment. All seats have pros and cons, so Im sure you'll be happy with your choice come selection time regardless.

I am in the end (205) and quite like the view. Would prefer the attack zone, but you do get a good perspective of the ice, basically nothing hidden from view if you are up high, and at least the OT is awesome (assuming Gaudreau has the puck!).
The relocation was slim pickens, as I wanted to stay in the greens. Moved down a couple of rows, but still far, far away from the aisle.

Wow that's a great move.
Also heard of a second year season ticket holder who somehow got 226 row 15. I may be a bit bitter as those are incredible, especially for this early in one's membership!

It seemed if you went to the dome the inventory was better then those who did the online process. Must have something to do with the refresh of the system? I got lucky I know that.
