NJ - Sat night -> who wants to go?

[driller1]

I'm flying solo, willing to drop some money to be there Sat night. Tickets are still available on Ticketmaster. ~$350 upper bowl seats. Anyone want to join?

[jml87]

Got a ticket for Saturday as soon as they lost tonight so I'll be there.

You flying solo? What section?

[jml87]

Lower sides 21. Hoping to sneak down to the glass should they win on Thursday. I really don't have the money for it now, but I feel like it's such a great opportunity with them being so close. So breaking down and going for it. I'm gonna regret this if they lose though

[driller1]

I went ahead and bought 2 tickets for Sat. I have 1 extra - $341 (incl Ticketmaster charges) for section 116. PM me if you're interested - would prefer to sit with a Kings fan.

I'll be there. Flying out Saturday AM.

They usually don't want fans bothering them at the hotel, so that info is kept private.

Are you sure the Kings stay in Newark?

I have no idea, but some NHL teams do stay at the Hilton that's attached to Newark Penn, because it's like a < 5 minute walk to The Rock.

If they were smart, I wouldnt stay that close during the SCF though, I'd keep them at the airport hotels where there's nothing to do. lol

[Strometrooper]

I will be there as well. Any plans for a HFBoards meet up?

I would totally do that if I was on a week off (I work two weeks, then get one week off, alternating like that) but unfortunatly I cannot get out of work I'd fly down and everything. Urgh. Hope you find somebody

Cheapest ticket on Stub Hub right now is $250. I'm thinking about it since it appears NJ isn't getting into the price gouging business like King fans have been experiencing.

We are in Section 11. Row 15. Tickets can be much cheaper on StubHub. I believe we only paid about $350 for ours, fees included!

Airline suggestions? All I'm seeing is $1000 flights.

[T308]

In case you want to see what you'll see at the Rock..

I'm wondering that as well. I'll be traveling from Sweden to go to this game, so of course it would be fun to meet up with some other Kings fans.

It might be cheaper to fly into new york. Laguardia airport is about 30 minutes from Newark.

It wasn't for me. It was cheaper to fly into Newark than either JFK or LAG. I haven't decided I was going as I don't think I can swing a $1200 spur of the moment trip. But it looks for anyone wanting a quick in and out trip that Newark airport is a 8 minute drive (or like a 15 or 20 minute bus trip) from the Prudential Center and there is a Marriott right at the airport. If I were going I'd fly in, stay at the Marriott and fly out. Sadly, if I do go and the Kings win I have no time for partying as I'd have a 530 AM flight on Sunday to get back to Edmonton, as I have no days that would allow me to take Monday off.

Man, if it were 1993 I would do this in a flash.

Today, I have too many other things going on to even consider it.

Sounds like a blast though - enjoy! I mean, Go Kings Go!!!

[son of earl]

My dad Is Going tickets ate cheap off there ticket exchange programm under 300$ for 200 and some 100s

He also got a flight out of Burbank Friday morning at 655

Also check flights into Teterboro. I think its only 20 minutes from Newark.

Odd decision given how many closer places there are, unless they just like it because it's next to a fancy'ish mall with a few restaurants.

Lol. Teterboro is a private airport. Probably not happening unless you plan on commissioning a Learjet.

Got home to Seattle from game 4 and told girlfriend about it. She decided we should look into going. Bottom line, I'll be there w/ the girlfriend. Got tickets tonight. We'll in 228, row 3.
