Thread: Meet the players

And those sigs mean squat without being authenticated.

But I wanna go NOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!

I'm not big on lines so this might not be the event for me but I would love to have Quick sign my ticket stub from game 6...Wouldn't it just be easier to harrass them in the parking lot at the training facility ? For those of you looking for tickets I saw a ton of them on eBay.

People are charging for a free event. Granted it is not free to the general public, but the tickets have no face value.

Imagine going to Disneyland where you wait in a queue with a bunch of other people to get on a ride. When you get to the end of the line you will get on the ride that lasts about 30-60 seconds, then you go see yourself in a picture of you on that ride. Same thing except you or the person running the line will take the picture with your own camera and hand it back to you. The lines can be very long and if you have kids that are impatient it could be even longer. Other than Bailey walking around there is no real kids environment. But if they have a favorite player and they really want to meet him, I can personally tell you that most of the guys are extra nice to kids. I have seen Kopitar pick up kids and hold them or put them in his lap and Brown seems to interact better with the kids than the adults, (I guess having small children helps that). But yes, it really is essentially waiting in line for autographs.

I don't take issue with that so much because you pay a lot for season tickets and you still pay for the perks but if it was me I would just give the ticket away to someone I knew who would really appreciate it.

Yeah, they're not free in the sense that they are a perk that come with season tickets. I know someone posted them for sale earlier in the thread and one of the mods said that they're not going to tolerate people selling tickets that technically are free. It was the same issue when rally tickets came out in June.

That's why I think most people were asking if someone didn't want them. I joked about playing the cancer card earlier in the thread for sympathy tickets. I really am feeling pretty good by the way and my bruise is almost gone for those that did see it.

Nah, not yet. If I get them it would be awesome, if I don't I have other things to be grateful for too so the world won't come to an end.

For those going, have fun.

does anyone know if they'll require a ticket for my 2 yr old nephew?
