First, a Happy Easter to all those who celebrate… Thanks to the hard work and quick thinking of Frank — EASportsMgt on here, for those who haven’t met him in person — there is a Staples Center suite available for Game 6, exclusively for readers of LAKingsInsider.com. The cost is $75 per ticket, the same price as our last fantastic suite event. Those who have been to the suite events before can speak to how much fun they are. Obviously, because the game is tomorrow night, time and space will be limited, so don’t hesitate to get on board now. There’s no link for tickets, because of the limited time, but the Kings’ Larry Abel will be taking ticket orders and processing payment through email today and tomorrow. If you would like to buy tickets for the suite, please email the following information to label@aegworldwide.com
– First and last name
– Mailing address, including city, state and zip code
– Phone number
– Number of tickets you want to purchase
– Credit-card number [NOTE: For those who prefer not to provide credit-card numbers via email, Larry will call you for that information.]
– Credit-card expiration date
– Name on credit card
– Name you would like tickets to be left under at will call
All tickets purchased will be available at VIP will-call window #1. See you there!
Hoping to get two! Can hardly wait.

Not a great idea to send your CC info in an email that way…

Exactly why I’m not even gonna try. I won’t take that chance, but I’d absolutely love to go. Too risky for my taste.

You can send your name and number to Larry and he will call you to process your payment. You don’t need to send cc info if you don’t want. Thanks

@EASportsMgt,
Thank you Frank for putting this together so quickly, & to Larry also. I met you both at the last Insider Suite game & still can’t thank you enough.
I don’t want to sound too apprehensive, but even being on the don’t call list, I get calls from people trying to get me to say just the proper word that let’s them bill me for something I don’t want, & its a pain to try & reverse that charge. Anyone could call me if an email is intercepted & know what to say. I’d know what to say if I called someone with the right info! I guess I’m just too paranoid! Sorry, but its just not safe enough for me.
Thank you again tho, and don’t think I don’t still appreciate you doing this one iota! You’ve gone above & beyond to be helpful, thank you!

@Kingsfanone,
While it’s not good practice and hardly secure, it’s also unlikely to be intercepted simply because the time involved for a hacker would be counterproductive. I’d recommend splitting up the CC number and sending them in 2 emails. It’s extremely difficult for any would-be hacker to grab both emails since they are randomly assigned to different servers in transit.

This is a great offer by the Kings Organization…..unheard of with other teams. Rich thanks again for sourcing this out for all fans and bloggers.
Too bad I’m 3,000 miles away in Ayr, Ontario or I would take the offer. Just too much to consider return trip from Toronto and be back for work Tuesday morning. Not feesible and not probable.
Great job Rich and company…….

@Harty,
I haven’t seen the guy on here for a while (Zev I think?) But he came out from Toronto to one suite night. His flight was delayed, he got to the game in the 2nd period I believe, Kings lost in overtime to Edmonton and he went straight back to LAX to catch his flight back. Man, what a trooper!!!

@wavesinair, You know who we haven’t seen in awhile? KyleCliffordfan. What ever happened to the guy? I think it’s safe to say his flight wasn’t delayed or anything to that sort.
[Reply]
With the game 2 days away, it won’t get much better than this as far as what you’re paying. Every other ticket source is so chock full of fees that this is a steal!
[Reply]
Real great for those who reside in LA. But what about us who live out of state. I guess well have to wait. Have fun all you Insider freaks. Know that when you are in your suite that there will be some of us missing fans of the Insider who only wishes the best to all who attend. Go Kings and Party on!!!!!!!

@wavesinair, Rich, I wish that was true and for the most part it is. I would like to thank you for giving us fans a outlet for our emotion during this season. I’ve met a lot of good people on thre Insider and for that I’m grateful. Living here in Salt Lake is hard being a Kings fan, just not that many of us here, but due to your Insider blog I have never felt out of the loop per say. Wish I could make the trip to meet other Insider freaks, but can’t take the time off work on such short notice. Hope Our Kings win and that everybody enjoy’s their experiance. thanks again Rich.

Sure, feel free to shoot me an email. Just curious how it went.
I want to know if my order went through…how many seats are in the suite and when will we know by?
[Reply]
wavesinair Reply:
April 24th, 2011 at 10:21 am
@King’Moon,
Suites can be expanded by partition walls to make them bigger. Or additional suites can be added depending on demand and availability. Both of these options have occurred in the past so I’d guess it would happen this time.
Don’t know about confirmation, but it’s a good question because if it sells out, people will want to find tickets elsewhere ASAP…

Not trying to be a kill joy, but email is a very insecure way to send cc info. Anyone with admin rights on the mail server or someone in-between with a packet sniffer can potentially see the info.

@Ravens,
That would be perfect, but, I don’t believe it could be set up on such short notice. I think the timeframe limits their options drastically. But to even put it together & offer it in the first place? This is why I bleed RICH HAMMOND when I cut myself. This is why this blog is THE ONE! (altho quisp & wavesinair are on my visit list too!)

@wavesinair,
You are correct waves!
BTW, sent Larry an email with my phone info, hoping to get a couple suite tix for Monday, the paranoid way! If I don’t, I’ll certainly be yelling so half the neighborhood can hear me again, just like last nite! I hope to introduce myself come Monday, we’ll see, as I saw you got a ticket.
Your blog on Patrick O’Neal really changed a lot of peoples minds about him. Well done, dude! Quisp may be prolific, but you have intersting reads many a time! Oh, and your logo just previous to the current one with “DEEP” instead of the “D”, I thought it was stellar!
Gotta agree tho, Hammer does have a great blog here!
wavesinair Reply:
April 24th, 2011 at 12:40 pm
See you then if you go! And thanks for the compliment.
I thought the new ‘deep’ gravitar was hard to read so I changed it. I don’t love this one either because it reminds me of the ducks and I can’t have that!

@wavesinair,
It looks like I may be going Monday after all. Larry sent an email and will call me this afternoon for cc info. Fingers are crossed, as are my toes and my eyes! (sorry!)
If I am indeed able (no pun intended) to go, I will seek you out, waves, but not in the stalker/scary kinda way, and introduce myself. Hope to see you (and everyone else) there Monday!

I think previous suite night announcements covered this, but maybe somebody can answer the question of what is included here. is it just the tickets or is there any food/drink provided? still a great deal with nothing at all, just need to plan for food, etc. if there won’t be any.

No food or drink included in suite nights before. You have to go down a level to get food. There’s been a cash bar in the suite, but I don’t know about this time.
