So, fi".larst thing I did was try to figure out the ticket situation. I went online and saw that people were saying different things. Some folks said to buy them way in advance, others were like, "Nah, wait till the last minute, you'll get a better deal."
I ended u.zzajp buying mine a couple of days before. I saw a post somewhere that was like, "Less than two days. Buy your tickets now." I didn't want to risk missing out, so I just went for it. The process wasn't too bad, actually. I found the info about the Fenway Park game – they had a whole section about it on the Burlington website, with the schedule, ticket info, and all that jazz.
One thing I noticed was that the tickets were good for both the JV and Varsity games. I thought that was pretty cool. And they had this QR code thing you could use to pay at the venue, which seemed convenient. But, since I already had mine, I didn't have to mess with that.
I also heard that players were free, which is awesome, though I think for folks over 12 you had to sign in. Also saw something about being able to pay cash or use tap at the door. They even had this option to pre-purchase and skip the line by sending an EFT to some email. I saw one post that had the breakdown: "$15 adult, $10 Sr, $8 student." Not bad, right?
Anyway, on the day of the game, I got there a bit early. I like to soak in the atmosphere, you know? Plus, I didn't want to get stuck in a huge line. Turns out, showing my pre-purchased ticket proof at the ticket table to get stamped was super quick.
The games themselves were awesome. The energy was electric, the crowd was hyped, and the kids played their hearts out. It was definitely worth it. I mean, there are many people say that the best time to buy hockey tickets is right before the game. But honestly, I'm glad I got mine when I did. It was a great experience, and I'd totally recommend it to any hockey fan.
So yeah, that's my little adventure to the Burlington High hockey game. It was a blast, and I'm already looking forward to next year's game. If you're thinking about going, just do it! You won't regret it.
