I'm saying that some of you guys can find fault in everything and could suggest that some of you are just not happy people All right, you've got me, I admit it. I was abused as a child, then our house was buried in an avalanche, then my dog left and joined the army, then our car caught fire and exploded, I caught malaria, yellow fever, and West Nile, and finally, both my parents were abducted by aliens and never seen again. So that's why I'm not happy. Good enough? Is that the kind of stuff you were looking for? You seem pretty happy to me...sometimes. Must be when the dog comes for a visit.  |

There was still a lineup at the Box office at the first intermission.... How about those Tim's lineups  .....I'm always amazed at how people can be so tolerant for some things and not so for others. The CCC should be looking at reconfiguring the whole traffic flow for that lobby.  |

I had to wait in the lineup to buy tickets over Xmas. The line up was huge and as others have stated, remained that way after the puck had dropped. Maybe it's just ppl thinking they can show up 15 mins before a game and get a ticket without hassle when everyone's thinking the same thing too. Either way, I wouldn't be spending $14 a ticket to have someone else tell me where I was going to sit. General admission is fine for rinks that are nicely designed, but I'd not be letting someone tell me where to sit at the CCC.

"Maybe it's just ppl thinking they can show up 15 mins before a game and get a ticket without hassle when everyone's thinking the same thing too"......pretty well sums it up! And if you don't want someone telling you where to sit, you do have other options like the CCC online Box office or the phone order. Some people tend to forget that this is a 3500 seat capacity building, despite any design shortcomings. |

I attended a game in Moncton last season and was able to pick a seat 15-20 minutes before the game started. There was a bit of a lineup at the box office but with 4 windows open to buy tickets, the lines went fairly quickly even with people choosing their seats, so it can be done if you have the proper setup. There is no reason why they can't have most, if not all, ticket windows open for a game and they can even use one or two of the will call windows if necessary. Options like the online box office or the phone order is ok, but not everyone has that option because they don't have a credit card, especially students.
With attendance dropping like it has the last couple of years, you would think the team would want to come up with solutions to give people more options on how and where to buy tickets instead of giving them less options by not allowing people to choose their seats because it's close to game time.
