Default Considering going to Flames @ Anahiem on Oct 9th

My family and I will be at Disney Land the day off and prior the game. I am thinking of leaving Disney a little early on Monday and getting to the game start of 2nd period ( this trip is for my daughter so game is secondary).

I'd love to take my daughter as a curse breaker to the game but I digress.

What are so need to knows about going to a game at the Ponda centre?

Do you need to pay for parking?

What is the best secondary market for cheap(er) tickets? Don't know how long a 2-year old will last.

Any other, curse breaking, tips would be useful!

Thanks!

If the Flames somehow do not win in Anaheim on 9 October you should burn down that godforsaken crap-hole.

I will sacrifice my child at Magic Mountain to break the curse.

The Honda Centre is okay, I dont know about paying for parking but if you're somewhere nearby for Disneyland anyways then just take a cab.

The tickets are cheap like Borscht.

In terms of curse breaking, have the kid poop in Corey Perry's helmet. Preferably when hes not looking.

If I am remembering correctly, there is a large parking lot around the arena (and I think it's free, but not too sure on that).

Also, I am going to the game as well, so you can count on the Flames putting in an embarrassingly listless performance, and getting hammered something like 6-0.

Sorry, that's just the way it is.

Tickets on stubhub start at ~$22 CDN. If you can swing it I would go, even if it is just for a couple of periods.

EDIT: Cheap tickets also available on ticketmaster (resale); you can also try vivid seats, but I'm not sure what their fees are like...

Do it! The arena is super close to Disney land as well -- the curse must end!

if you find that bearded, finger-pistols guy who looks like one of the seven dwarves, feel free to boot him in the 'nads.

Just hang around in the parking lot after closing and you might not have a choice in the matter. At least that's how it was in the late 90's when I lived nearby.

The cab ride from Disneyland isn't that expensive, and Uber might be even cheaper.

It's definitely a bunch of parking you have to pay for around the arena. I think my buddy who has been there for 20 losses in a row knows a hidden place though. I will try to find where it is.

Get an Uber there, it is going to be on a Monday night in Anaheim, there should be a lot of tickets available. Ticketmaster or StubHub are both ok for tickets.

Currently lots of $13 tickets on Ticketmaster. Calgary isn't a big draw in Anaheim on a Monday night in Southern California.

Cab from motel across from Disneyland cost more than game ticket, but neither were expensive.
Was there for last Flames win (playoffs). I guess I need to go again soon.

When I went a few years ago we bought tickets off the Ducks Ticketmaster ticket exchange (fan resale). They were super cheap. Direct from ticketmaster or resale from stubhub should work too.

If you are staying near disneyland, the arena is only about a 10 minute drive away so definitely an uber makes sense.

In that case, I expect you both to burn down that hell hole.

Look....I'm not going to delve too deeply into the logistics of it, but pooping in a player's helmet while hes watching seems to decrease the likelihood of him putting said helmet on.
