Congrats! I would LOVE to get season tickets! however, since I am in Buffalo for approximately 4 games a year….I just get tickets to those games.

Anywho, I am wondering why, on this form that seems to predate Tim Horton’s first coffee shop, they ask for your EMAIL ADDRESS????
for the non-existent database?

I had a SNAFU with the ticket office last Christmas about some will-called seats. Long story short, situation was fixed (their fault? yep.)

Do you often wonder if you walk into the ticket office “time warp” will you see your granny’s sitting room, with flowered wallpaper and a knitted afghan on the couch for afternoon naps? That everytime the phone rings they mistake the noise for the oven timer telling them to turn off their “stories” and meander out into the kitchen to check to see if the pie is done?

PS – Sabres camp yesterday. Ended an hour early. Besides Gerbe and Kennedy being Gerbe and Kennedy, other players that impressed me: Tyler Ennis, Paul Byron. Second-tier of impression: TJ Brennan and Corey Tropp.
Those on the “Get off the ice you bum!” list include Adam Payerl and Dennis Pearsson (yes, the first-rounder; let’s hope he was having a bad day).

I wonder if the Bisons ever let him do that? :)

They let Tyler Myers do it!

I saw that former Sabre, Brian Campbell, threw out the first pitch at the Cubs game yesterday. I wonder if the Bisons ever let him do that? :)

I will bedazzle t-shirts that say things like “Ask me about my season tickets” and “I get to spend 42 nights a year with Paul Gaustad” and “My season tickets make me better than you”.

In my post I-just-got-season-tickets glee, I’ve probably been coming across as gloating to some people.

Katebits, when I’m finally done with school and have a big girl job and can afford season tickets, I will DEFINITELY be gloating. I will bedazzle t-shirts that say things like “Ask me about my season tickets” and “I get to spend 42 nights a year with Paul Gaustad” and “My season tickets make me better than you”. Your blog gives us a place to vent frustrations when the season sucks and laugh when we’d normally be crying. So now, it’s your time to shine! You better gloat, dammit! Gloat til you can gloat no more, you classless beeyotch!! :D

I’m not as drunk as you think right now… but I’m getting there!

Alli, I hadn’t even CONSIDERED what Goose would think of this flagrant misuse of carbon copies. THINK OF THE CARBON FOOTPRINT. *angry HONK*

Yeah! Carbon copies leave ACTUAL carbon footprints!

That receipt is hilarious! (When I buy tickets online, or from a ticket rep, the receipt is printed on an extra section of ticket cardboard. I always think I got an extra free pair by mistake.)

Not sure the Sabres can beat down their cheapness label after the proof you’ve provided here. Absolutely awesome. Love the old logo.

If I would have seen this last year, I would have REALLY been freaking out about our mini-pack. I still remember drafting the letter (on my COMPUTER!) to have our address updated and dropping it in the mail.

Didn’t our owner make all his money by computerizing systems very similar to the seasons-ticket process? I guess he really is hands-off.

Schnoooke, not only are the seats only $1,000,000 but the tickets will be hand delivered by white tigers.

Oh, you mean with the rest of the regular mail? :D
