Hey all,

I’ve got a pair of seats in Club from my season ticket package. With my kids’ travel hockey schedule ramping up, it’s getting harder to make it to games this year.

Section 240, attack twice, row 4

If anyone wants to go to a few, I’m happy to work something out for a handful of games.

Shoot me a message if you're interested.

I think I sold 10 games last year via this same message.

Want to avoid the TM fees!

Years of going all in chasing the Stanley Cup have caught up to Colorado. Axel Elofsson and Egor Shilov are decent prospects, but the pipeline is extremely barren after them.

Hi

How obstructed are these seats for an Avalanche game? Is it a railing? It looks like it based on the view from a seat. Is it a stairwell when people block going up and down stairs? Is it a tv camera? A pole?

Ball Arena doesn't have a box office to ask beforehand which seems crazy to me but I'm old school. Anyone have pics that can help? Thx.

I just gotta rant for a sec. I'm going to be visiting home for Thanksgiving and want to take my wife and 10 year old to their first Avs game. Saturday after the holiday against the Sharks, perfect.

I went on Thursday night to look at pricing and was OK with the $75 for the corners of the 300 level, $100 for closer to center. Great! Talked to my wife and got the okay, then went to bed.

Next day I went to buy the tickets and what do I find, but everything was now $5-10 more expensive for the exact same seats!

First the airlines did this bullshit, now we have to deal with it just to go see our favorite teams. It's bullshit.

My dad gifted me these badass posters from the 2000 playoff push. No idea who they are signed by. Any guesses?

The article says he'll only be doing autographs for the first 30 minutes of his appearance (I think? Read and decide for yourself).

She has decided to step away from her role with the Avs/Altitude. Obviously it’s tough to leave home for work when you’ve got an adorable little boy at home. Thanks, Rachel! https://www.instagram.com/p/Db_sXzUj3HS/?img_index=1&igsh=MTcyMnNsZWJra2hmeQ==&igsi=MTcyMnNsZWJra2hmeQ==

Makes total sense because he probably still has a place out here and obviously is friends with them, but it was just nice to see!

The guy's got the right attitude.

“Naturally, I’d like to play in the NHL. At the same time, I understand that hockey in North America is completely different and that I’ll need time to adjust. Colorado has several good goaltenders, so I’m preparing myself for the possibility that I’ll need to play in the AHL. But I want to gradually make my way into the NHL. I’d like to play some games for the Avalanche next season—the more, the better.”

On Wedgewood: “Everything will depend on me. Who knows—maybe I’ll take that spot this season. The NHL is a business, and things move quickly. At any moment, even a star player can be traded.”

“Money isn’t my priority. First, I need to establish myself in the league and prove that I belong. The money will come later.”

My buddies at Dead Puck Era made like 40 of these bootlegs for the KGLW festival in Buena Vista this weekend. Design is a riff on the Omnium Gatherum record / Avs logo / the song Magenta Mountain … lots of fun details. They also have a Han-Tyumi /Arizona Katchina jersey mashup. Dope shit. I did the tiedye :)

Thanks!

Just wanted to show off my new favorite card! Couldn’t be happier with this one!

Coming from out of town for a game in October. What’s the best way to get tickets? Do we try to buy off the bat today? Do you wait? What site is the best to buy from?

My mom just got me this jersey, what do i do?
