So heading into the season we have our company season tickets (although I usually prefer to make those available to the team). Got my sons hockey schedule last night, and after dropping both kids schedules onto my calendar, I am shocked at how few games I can get to even if I want to.
I will use a few games of our company tickets, we are also buying about 3 nights of suite inventory for company perk parties (I was away for all three of those last year), and I have access to inventory in a friends, friends, suite and I hope to buy a few seats from him to test drive that option.
I am setting a goal to get to 10 games but I know I won’t hit it. My daughter is in grade 7 and is in both “competitive” (don’t get me started) gymnastics and just got started on her Volleyball journey this past season so dual sport. My son is in grade 11 playing on his high school hockey team so I have two seasons left before he’s in beer league and my options open up quite a bit more. Actually he will be driving later this season so that also is a game changer (according to all the parents that have gone through this stage).
Summary I “plan” to attend more games than last season but talk is cheap.
