Ah, then my apology, and welcome Troy :)
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Well I finally managed to get on the wait list for Jets season tickets.

Not sure if that makes me :cool: or :wacko:


Edit: the potentially crazy part makes more sense when I tell you I have to pay $100 per year for the pleasure of being on the waiting list.  That amount is a credit on the eventual tickets, but still...

How long is the wait?

Habs waiting list is min 10 years at 200$/year. I don't think it's credited if you ever get to buy tickets.

Who the hell knows?

Team's only been back for 2 years.  Initial season ticket holders were required to sign up for 3-5 year minimums.  So starting next year we'll start to get some idea how fast it moves.

If the fee wasn't credited to your eventual tickets there's no way I do this, but what the hell.

The crazy thing is I tried the past two years to get on the list and couldn't.  They only have so many places on the list, and so it was only open for a few hours on one specific day.  In 2011 I decided to do it too late and it was full.  In 2012 my work computer/browser kept timing out, and by the time I got home it was full.

But wouldn't your tickets be in Winnipeg?  That's a long commute, 40 times a year.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Go to Winnipeg 2-3 times and see 4-6 games (weekends with back to backs), sell the rest to hopefully break even.  I'll take a different kid with me each time so I can convince my wife it's a father-son bonding thing.  If they ever make it to the Conference or Cup finals take holidays and stay in Winnipeg with my folks.

Or that's he dream, anyways.

After talking about my idiot brother-in-law who bought a motorcycle without discussing it with his wife (my wife's sister) and what an idiot he is, I felt obliged to mention the Winnipeg season tickets waiting list to Tracy.

When I mentioned the "bring a kid to Winnipeg for father-son bonding" she thought that was a nice idea, and wasn't the least upset. :wub:

Not a game Coach Noel will be happy with, but thrilling to be watch.   :cool:

I have to say though - Oilers fans suck.  Man were they ever quiet. :mellow:
