Where do you usually sit for Blues' Games at DrinkScotch?
I usually catch tickets with a friend who splits season tickets with his two brothers. They are up in the front row of the upperbowl in Section 312, seats 2 & 3. Other than that, I could sit anywhere.
Maybe some of you don't have "usual" seats or just don't want the rest of us to know where you sit! ;)
Also, feel free to toss out comments about your favorite place to pick up tickets for games besides the box office. My officemates offer up tickets every now and then, but I've done well off of Craiglist and a friend has done well with vendors on the street.

The best seat I’ve been at, no doubt, is my aunt’s season ticket seats. Yes, it’s in the upper bowl, but it’s right at center ice and you can see EVERYTHING.
But really, there is NOT a bad seat in the house. Unless you’re hanging out with Towel Boy or Horn Guy, I guess.

As for the answer to the question . . .
I’ve sat damn near everywhere in that building. Which I still call (and always will call) Kiel Center.

I’ve sat pretty much everywhere, but I regularly used to be in 333. Then tried to escape nuisances and moved to 317. This year just have a partial plan in 108. Brother often has tix he can’t use in the upper bowl, center ice, which are nice. I actually prefer the upper bowl to 108 at least, which is in almost behind the goal. The damn white imbecile-protecting mesh is just too screwy at that angle — it makes it a pain to see action at the other end of the ice, and I end up looking at the jumbotron, which is probably not what one pays tickets for
On that note, something that always confounds me: Why not replay close calls and penalties on the jumbotron more often? Are we really going to riot? Do they really want to make it easier to follow the game from home?

Oh, and I'll always call it Kiel
These places and their corporate names. You get one shot at a name, that’s it. Wonder what they call the place in Phoenix, ‘cause I know I couldn’t call it blahblah-dot.com.

Supporting DK and the Kiel Center
It’s gona be weird when the get the Opera House open and the attached building is called the ScottTradeCenter. I can be found in sec333 rowN seats5&6, basically every other game, we’ve got the half season “Gold” pack.
Secion 108 – Row AA – Seats 1 & 2
Then usually Section 123 for the 2nd… watch out for the usher with the bald/salt-n-pepper mix. He will check random ticket stubs. During the nashville game a couple weeks ago, this is what was said:
Dude: Can I see your ticket stub please?
DJ: Here ya go
Dude: This is for section 108, not 123.
DJ: Yeah well I paid more to sit way over there than what these seats are worth.
Dude: Well I dont know if your still allowed to do that
DJ: Dude, there is like 12,000 people here…maybe
Dude: Yeah your right…. if that. Have a good night.

Up in 307, where half the section urges Towel Boy to jump, the Red Berenson Cowboy chills and three guys always yell/ask, ‘How much time is left?’ approximately 3 seconds before they announce, ‘One minute. One minute remaining in the first period.’
It’s pretty much god’s country.

I keep trying to think of some way to make fun of this. can’t
Used to be Aaron, but some douchebag Celtics fan has that one already.

307
I managed to get in on the sec 307 action with the final game of the year as part of my Holiday pack for the ladyfriend.
Now let’s just hope I don’t screw things up before 4/10

weekend package, Section 305, Row B, seat 9 (I was in 308 a couple seasons ago but took a year off due to some financial struggles and lost that seat) . they often have the next 5 rows or so collapsed so that there’s lots of walking around space and it’s easier to get to my seat from behind.
speaking of which, I’m trying to get rid of my ticket for Sunday’s game against Anaheim, because I’m going to a concert that night. any takers?
seriously guys, anybody?
I’d hate to go to the game because I couldn’t pass my ticket off to someone so it won’t go to waste…and then have to leave in the second intermission in order to make it to the concert on time.
It sounds like you only have one ticket
and therefore, I can’t bring my brother for hilarious nerdy bullshit awesomeness.
Therefore, I must pass. Unless there’s two tickets.

Season tickets in Section 319, Row K since 2000 – the year I graduated from college.

I remember you...
Ya, We used to be in 319 Row K, but moved one section over (318) down to Row B for the same price.
Not sure it was such a smart move. Might be back next year.
I turn around to wave at ya, but you are usually looking elsewear or (god forbid) reading your GT. Sheesh.

I usually go with my friend Jaymac who has seats in section #301, Row K. Its a great view, only thing that pisses me off is the non-season ticket holders who sit in front of us and seem to have an aversion to sitting down. But other than that…..great place to sit, knowledgable fans.
