Toronto Raptors GB 2012: game (and pre-game experience)

[p-o-g-i]

TM3ers,

The last 2 years, I've offered to run GB's for Toronto Raptors games.... and this season will be no different!!!

Here are links from the previous years:
http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?50103-Toronto-Raptors-Meet&highlight=Raptors+GB
http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?60074-GI-Toronto-Raptors-Meet-(2012)&highlight=Raptors+GB
http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?50069-GI-Toronto-Raptors-Outing&highlight=Raptors+GB


Just as the previous years, this Raptors experience will include the ticket for the game. It will be for a seat in section 101-104 or 112-115 (we'll try the hardest to book a corner view). The reasoning for going with these sections is because it's the best bank for your buck. The pre-game experience includes being able to enter the ACC prior to the general public, and being able to view the pre-game warmups from courtside. This aspect is based on a first come first serve basis, so the sooner we book our tickets, the sooner we can ensure watching the pre-game warm-ups.

Here are the games that have been decided on:

Boston Celtics Wednesday February 6th $69
New York Knicks Friday March 22nd $69
*the prices are all taxes/ fees already included

We chose these games, as the top tier teams (ie. Miami or LA Lakers) for the same sections were going for $175, which I thought would be too much for most people.

This is not open to only TM3 members, so if you would like to invite a friend or family member.... please feel welcome to do so.

Again, the sooner we can reserve the tickets, the sooner we can ensure the pre-game experience.



If you are interested in either of these 2 games, please add your name to the below lists:

I might come to the games via season tickets and meet you guys, but if I don't I might just jump on this as it looks like a lot of fun and the prices are excellent!

Nice! When do we have to get you the money by?

[p-o-g-i]

I'll be starting the collection at the end of this month... So we can secure the best seats as possible in that price range. I'll be sending a PM to everyone on the list.

(the tickets pictured above were for a member who purchased 13 tickets for next month's Rockets game)

[p-o-g-i]

PM's sent our for confirmation.
It's not too late to add your name to the list.

Thank you Chris

I'm too cheap to pay the $1.50 EMT charges :P Plus, I haven't met any members yet. I gotta start somewhere.

Just a quick update.

It's not too late if you want to join in for the Raptors/ Celtics game on February 6th. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in joining us. Deadline to join this game is January 15th.

As for the Raptors Knicks game, I'm completely sold out. I only had 28 tickets available, and they all sold. We actually have 32 people going (I had to pull some strings to get another 5 tickets :/ )

When is the pre game exp started? (real question is what time we have to be in ACC?)

[p-o-g-i]

01/16 update: All of the tickets have been paid for :) I'll have the Celtics tickets by the end of this week, and will be contacting those to make arrangements for pick up. For the Knicks game, I'll be distributing those closer towards the game (that game is not till March).

The pre-game is optional. For those who would like to take part, we would have to be there 2 hours before the game start. (ie if the game is at 7pm, you would have to be there by 5pm SHARP).
I'll be making arrangements with everyone to have their tickets before the game day, so if you don't want to take part in the pre-game stuff or are unable to be there that early, you can just come down whenever you want as you'll have the ticekts with you.

[p-o-g-i]

FYI- I have the Celtics tickets in hand. I've messaged everyone to arrange pick up.

For those participating in the Knicks game in March, I'll obtain and distribute those tickets closer to the game.

Thanks.

I'll also be PM'ing and calling those who have purchased tickets.

Thanks.
