I have a confession to make: I’ve never seen an NHL game live. I always figured that if I said this out loud someone might revoke my Canadian citizenship, but you won’t tell anyone will you?
Sure, I’ve been to events at the arena where the Sens play (the most recent one that comes to mind is Oprah). But I guess I’m just cheap when it comes to watching live sports. It is seriously expensive to take a kid out to see a hockey game in this town — let alone a whole family of four! For instance, a Level 100 ticket to see the Ottawa Senators play against the Minnesota Wilds is priced at $123.61. So, let’s see … for one night out with my husband and the two kids, I’m looking at almost $500 dollars?
Don’t get me wrong — I know my family and I would have a great time and wonderful memories would be made. But, you know, it makes it hard to commit.
Do you feel the same way? Well, then read on, because I have GOOD news for you! Remember those 100-level tickets I just told you about? Well, you can win them!

Nothing used to get me more irritated then when I would attend a live hockey game (or other sporting event) only to see dozens of seats sitting empty in some of the most desirable sections. Where were those ticket options when I was looking to purchase my tickets? Why was I now stuck up near the rafters of the hockey arena, when I could have been down close to the boards? The answer? Those seats were already purchased by seasons ticket holders who just didn’t show up for that’s night game, for whatever the reason. What a waste of a prime seat! Thanks to Broker4Tickets, those prime unused seats can now be filled! Not only does Broker4Tickets keep seasons ticket holders and Suite owners happy by putting some cash back into their pockets, Broker4Tickets makes fans happy by being able to offer up some of those pretty fantastic seats to a must-see hockey game.
I have been to local hockey, but never an NHL game. I would love to take my nephew (huge Sens fan!).
Would love to be able to win this so that my son can see a NHL game (either that or I’ll get a babysitter and actually have a date night with the hubby)
We have been to a few games, mostly because of the generosity of friends and family. We are an interesting household – we have an avid Boston Bruins fan, 2 Senators fans (the girls of course), and one little boy who goes back and forth between Vancouver and Chicago (no external influence). It is such a great experience to be in the thick of a hockey game, the fans, the players and the never ending availability of food I would never have at home. Love the atmosphere. For those not yet ready to venture into the land of NHL, try an Ottawa67 game, just as fun and less expensive.
I must say I love watching hockey live but don’t on TV. I too wish the price was better but understand also with costs and salaries Why it is what it is… But that is a whole other debate.
The energy and cheers just can’t be felt through the TV the same way, but by the time you have bought the tickets, paid parking and a sitter it can be 500 easily or more, for your evening out. Cool to hear about this ticket broker place, will check it out.
I’ve used Broker4Tickets twice already this year to see games. Hockey is just so much better live.
I would totally buy through these guys. Why not?
I didn’t know about Broker4Tickets! You always have such great info.
Ooh!! I would love to go to a live game….haven’t been to one for many, many years!!
Thanks for the chance at it? I already have the 3 people I’ll be taking in mind. 
My almost 8 yr old son has been bugging us to see the Sens play live for years. We’ve decided that we will take the fam this year at some point. I’ve heard so many good things about Broker4Tickets – will have to check them out.
Looking forward to winnng a nice family night out
I’m in… great prize.
No I have never been to a live NHL game but there is always that first time.
Wow!!!! That would be awesome. Wouldn’t I be the bestest wife and mom if I won these. Fingers crossed!!
No I haven’t been to an NHL game before. Hope to though Nov 20/13.
I’ve been to a sens game. Once, I think! My son and sister are hockey CRAZY, so I know who would be using these!
I haven’t been yet this year, but totally intend on going (what is it they say about the best intentions?).
