The club seats will be gobbled up by the corporate community wanting to treat their clients. They will go FAST.

Also, I have a friend with a successful local business. They are debating whether buy a box or use their money to buy up advertising in the new building.

The 2 you are talking about are probably the one near the end of the rink that will be unavailable for "half rink" setup. Could be use for radio contests for the events that will need to have the full rink setup. Or on sale once in a while.

If not, then i pity the poor businesses that brought those boxes.

Here's how the club seating works at Scotiabank centre. Its around the same price. Wonder if the club seating for the new events centre includes the "first right of refusal" for all events. Thats a nice perk. Not one I can afford but there are more people in Moncton with $$ than people realize that would be willing to pay for this type of benefit especially if the quality of concerts we'll be getting increases. I would guess SMG did some solid research on this pricing.

Thanks for pointing out my typo. I stand by the comment, An all event Box for $55,000.00 is reasonable for an Exon/Mobil, Atlantic Lotto type Corporation in a city such as Moncton.

The "first right of refusal" would be a nice added benefit to club seat "ownership" if that was available in Moncton too. For people also interested in major concerts and events, this could take the stress out of getting tickets beforehand, and could be extremely valuable. If this benefit exists in Moncton, I could see this tipping some people into becoming club seat patrons.

I work for XOM, I don't see any way they spend this type of money on a box actually in the current climate. I would be pleasantly surprised as much as it would be a great way to take visitors out for the night.

I could however see them trying to rent one of the 2 available boxes per night and raffling it off for united way or something along those lines. I could also see them investing in club seats.

I could see one of the big law firms in town getting one of the boxes. Law Firms bring in big money, Mcinness Cooper for example who already has ads at the coliseum I could see them getting a box. Thats the type of business where you want to impress clients. They have a box in the Scotiabank Centre for their Halifax location.

I bet all these boxes sell before the season starts. A company like the corey craig group could eat that $55000 easily. They are building a hotel next door so it makes complete sense they would have a box. Once you start thinking of these big businesses in town you realize why they can price these so high.

Club seats do have first right of refusal.

The early birds, those many hundreds who will have arrived hours before an event will get the closest parking spots. Just imagine the huge congestions all over downtown Moncton with the other 3,500 additional nervous and rushing drivers all aiming to get downtown, all looking for parking, all searching all the streets, all within the same time frame and obviously not finding it. Can’t wait to read the T&T the morning after the first few events, they will talk about unbelievable chaos. What is really needed is a huge parking lot that requires practically no walking and is located close to the new Events Centre. Such a piece of land in downtown Moncton does not exist. And usually, when what you are looking for does not exist close-by, you need to look a bit further. But there is a SOLUTION, a large flat piece of land (50 acres) capable of parking at least 4,000 vehicles, which is located exactly 8 km to the front door of the new Events Centre. It is located on Route 114 in Lower Coverdale. People can park their vehicle in a brightly light, monitored and secure parking lot that accommodates over 4,000 cars. Then, immediately hop on the Codiac bus system, working with other private busses such as hired school busses that will drive those who parked to the Events Centre and drive you back when the event is over. There are over 12 busses that drive the two way 8 KM loop so that one bus is always waiting at the Events Centre during and after the event, and another bus is always waiting in the parking lot ready for those who arrive late. The fact that the 12 busses return to the parking lot within a few minutes interval one from the other, this greatly diminishes congestion, and adds fluidity in the parking lot and on the roads. To exit without entering downtown Moncton, one method is to take Route 114 to the causeway. Another method is by using Niagara road then Pine Glen road to the causeway.

Unlearn/Relearn, is that you????

That's what I mean - Unlearn/Relearn hijacked the events centre thread near the beginning and ended up getting banned. I think this is the same guy.......

WITH RESPECT, HOW does this plan assist someone like my 80 year old mom who lives 1 km away but would not walk but wants to go to an event?

You could buy her a motorized wheelchair.

And we say to you, if you are able to see only what-is—then, by Law of Attraction, you will create only more of what-is... You must be able to put your thoughts beyond what-is in order to attract something different or something more. Many around you want to point out "reality" to you. They say, "Face the facts. Look at what-is." You must be able to put your thoughts beyond what-is in order to attract something different or something more. WHAT-IS = huge frustration for thousands of drivers inbound and outbound for each event. The Lower Coverdale SOLUTION is your ONLY and BEST option.

[Ammn_guy]

lol.. maybe instead for fantasy, they could you know use the equidistant more population centric magnetic hill concert site.. its already graveled, improved, closed to hotels, city owns it already.. close to major highways. Maybe even hold some after game concerts.. or sliding party's.

Or hey.. maybe the obvious answer.. shuttle bus's to the old coliseum parking lot for a 5-10$ all inclusive fee..

Shaming tactics....wow! That will really get event goers all the parking they need. Lower Coverdale option is the only option, otherwise you and your friends would have already found a better solution to the huge parking chaos that's coming right around the corner. There is NO better solution than the Lower Coverdale huge parking lot, come to terms with it.

I mean, you can make an argument for it being the 'best' option but, as elucidated by Ammn Guy raising multiple alternatives, it is categorically not the 'only' option.

As for MonctonRad "and his friends" not having "already found a better solution," I feel like you've missed the many posts in this thread where plenty of equally viable solutions were suggested.

I'm not sure what you're expecting... for them to actually somehow realize one of them? At the end of the day we're just forumgoers here; we don't exactly have the capability to actually implement our suggestions...

[flyer99]

Did anyone check the internal webcam? There are some pretty hefty cranes on the arena floor. I wonder if the scoreboard is being installed?

When will these be available for purchase and is there a "seating plan" for a person to choose which seat(s) they want? Anyone know?

This guy is just looking for somebody to buy his land, he pushed for the arena to be built there as well. Plus why would the city buy land in the country when they could easily offer what he’s proposing by using the coliseum parking lot.

[MonctonRad]

Indeed

Best not to respond to his posts.

Don't feed the troll............
