I've never been to a Kings playoff game.

Ever.

Look. I was a broke college student from 2000-2004. I had even less money in high school. I wasn't able to attend then.

I'm very, very excited this year. I may have to take some time off from work to see some games, if I'm able to snag tickets. Oh man.

That is all.

I've been to only one, in 1977, when we beat the Atlanta Flames.

I would love to attend a playoff game this year. Especially if the Kings score 8 goals in it.

Been to the most important one. Game 7 clincher when we won the Cup. Greatest game ever. A recurring dream.

I've never been to Staples despite living in Cali until about 6 years ago. I played out of Norwalk and we played a couple games at the GWF, way back when. Good luck in your search for tickets....

I just had a dream like that a couple of weeks ago. Only they beat the hated Habs in 5 and Night Train won the Conn Smythe. No joke.

Staples Center is going to be an absolute zoo come playoff time.


I can't wait, so many years I had to watch other teams and other fans enjoy their teams in the dance...well no more.

MTL fan here, Enjoy the big dance guys, I'm so happy f`er ya! The big sister is back and ready to crunch down on the other California teams. Regain your prize 99 style.

How much are normal regular season ticket games? Are they two arms and a leg like in Toronto or Montreal, or are they actually affordable like $50.00?

If tonight was any indication, we're in for a real treat!

But I'm with KingsRule...I'm broke I'll be watching every game for certain, but only likely one in person

It's been 6 seasons so my memory is a bit fuzzy but I think they are about 20% above regular prices? I may be off. Not an arm and a leg but definitely a finger and toe.

Above average prices...but where they get you is parking and concessions. 10 dollar beers.

I want you to stand the entire game. My wife got me tickets in 107 for game two and I don't want your *** on my seat.

Kings fans better be loud and proud. Show the team that the love from the fans triples in the playoffs.

I've never even been to the Staples Center
I've been to every single Sens-Kings game at ScotiaBank Place, but that's it.

Staples in nice. The good news is the area around it keeps getting better.

Last playoff game I went to was in Round 2 back in '01. The Kings lost on my birthday

If you've been to a reg season game, but never a playoff game, you're going to be amazed at how different it is. There is an electricity in the air that is only rarely there during parts of games in the regular season. In the playoffs it's there from start to, hopefully, finish. It's pretty crazy.

I'm just happy being able to watch it on the computer. For years and years all I could do was follow box scores and play NHL games. I remember waking up and rushing to check the result of the game 7 against the Avs and being crushed.. And I barely had any idea who was on the team! All because I for some reason collected Kings hockey cards some 16-17 years ago

And now I get to see whole games online! Thank you, Internet.
