Thread: Hindsight=20/20...How BADLY Do You Regret...

Thinking back on the cup run, I had two chances to buy tickets to the final round. The first ticket would of costed me $850, the second would have set me back over a grand. That was money I didn't have to spend at that time (not incorporated into my budget). But I could have pulled it from future entertainment and even food budgets. I could have eat ramen noodles for a couple months and canceled my cable tv, and other cutbacks in other areas, even cut back on driving to save gas. I keep thinking about that last series, and imagining myself at the arena, watching the boys hoist the cup. I regret it bigtime. I should have been there, no matter what it cost. Instead all I got to do was watch the games at some restaurant in Pasadena with a couple die-hard buddies, go to the parade, and the rally. I wonder when my next chance will be. It could be 44 more years...

I was fortunate enough to go to games 3 and 6 of the final.I spent over 1K on my tickets total. It was worth every penny. My only regret is that I stupidly tired to record the last seconds and the cup ceremony instead of just putting down the iphone and enjoying the moment.

Didn't have the money for tickets, therefore I have no regrets.

I regret that my source for free tickets to sporting events since 1993 did things like take his architect to the games but I still got playoff tickets this year so I can't complain since I didn't have the money.

It's hard to regret anything about that whole playoff run.

I was desperate for tickets, signed up on Kings website for a chance to buy tickets and when all hope was lost I got a call from a ticket rep offering me 2 tickets to Game 3 for $325 each. I jumped on it right away and got to go with a friend. It was the best game i had ever been attending a game. All in all I went to 1 game of every series and spent more money than i could afford but I HAD to do it.

I went to every game of the Finals except game 5. I don't regret it at all.

Went to games 3 and 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. Having shared season tickets all year (and the previous two), I get a very reasonable rates. Zero regrets.

How about the people who went for all these years and then decided to sell their finals tickets for the $? Think they regret it now?



BTW, I paid full price for a ticket for wifey on June 11. I had no doubt it was gonna be special and she had to be there. It was worth every cent!
