Here’s a reminder about the details for tomorrow’s Kings championship parade and rally. The parade is scheduled to start at noon at the corner of Figueroa and 5th St. It will head south on Figueroa for one mile and end in front of Staples Center. The parade is scheduled to last approximately 30-45 minutes. Fans are invited to line the sidewalks of Figueroa to watch.
The parade will end with a right turn onto Chick Hearn Court, in front of Staples Center. Only fans who have tickets for the post-parade rally will be allowed into the areas of Staples Center Star Plaza (near the statues) and across the street at the L.A. Live Nokia Plaza. Fans will rally tickets can watch the conclusion of the parade there.
No tickets remain for the Staples Center rally, which is scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. For those with tickets, arena doors will open at 1 p.m. The rally is scheduled to last approximately one hour.
All of the festivities will be streamed live on LAKings.com, and live coverage is expected on Fox Sports West and on local networks in the Southern California area. Click below for the order of the buses, which players and staff aboard…
Bus 1: Jarret Stoll, Trevor Lewis, Dwight King, Justin Williams, Marc-Andre Cliché, Clarence Campbell Bowl.
Bus 2: Willie Mitchell, Rob Scuderi, Slava Voynov, Alec Martinez, Davis Drewiske.
Bus 3: Jonathan Bernier, Scott Parse, Kevin Westgarth, Andrei Lotkionov.

Bus 5: Dean Lombardi, Darryl Sutter, hockey-operations staff.

It’s hard to predict how many people/fans will be there. I hope we can beat Chicago’s 100k.

The parade starts at 12 noon. The parade is supposed to last one hour. The rally starts at 2:30. What is supposed to happen between 1 pm and 2:30? Will the players be out amongst the crowd hanging out during that time?

@HawksFanKingsFan,
You sure about that? The population of the entire Chicagoland area is less than 10 million. You’re saying that 20% of the greater metropolitan area showed up on a weekday?
And where in the city of Chicago could you actually fit 2 million people?
Frankly, I don’t even believe the 100k figure.

@DougS, Obviously, nobody would post any such thing without having a satalite photo and actually counting each fan one by one. LOL any such count is a wild guess. Ask a child and there were a gazillion people there. Ask a Blackhawk Fan and he is sure to exaggerate, but logistically if its a 1 mile parade route with just a 10ft wide sidewalk on each side. Likely maximum would be 528K or less assuming each person is in a 1 foot square area(that is packed pretty tight).

I’m not much into parades, didn’t really think of going as I have lots of work besides. Now I wish that based on the last couple of hours posts I would have gotten a ticket. I would have gladly given it to one of you insiders. Now these people who are lower than low are going to get $50, $100 or more for something that the Kings MEANT TO GIVE AWAY FOR FREE TO THANK US FOR OUR SUPPORT.

Regardless, I’m sure they’re not getting snubbed. If anything, they’d rather be calling the action like they always do.

I tried a million times at 6pm-7 to get a ticket. Until I saw the twitter feed say sold out. Most sc parades have the rally at the end of the route but it looks like they are gonna head inside when they get off the busses. I get why they are doing it this way so they’ve got a big crowd in the arena vs the possibility that there wouldn’t be a huge crowd outside. It just stinks I couldn’t get inside. And can’t go to the front of staples without a ticket. I just hope the turnout is good along the route considering this.

Anyone else with an extra ticket to the rally?

This is just as much of a long shot as anyone else’s attempt but if anyone has 1 extra ticket I would REALLY appreciate it if I could have it. I tried for an hour yesterday to get at least one to give to my dad but failed. He’s been a fan for the longest time and was so excited about the win and the parade. Wish I could’ve gotten a ticket for him. But if any of you have an extra, it would honestly be greatly appreciated. My email is kraziijackie@yahoo.com Thanks

[Reply]
EXTRA RALLY TICKET Section 214, row 8.
Would very much like to see a long suffering LAK fan get the chance to see the rally.
However, we want to make sure this is not going to anyone trying to make money off it. We will not hand the ticket over. We will meet you in person at the rally entrance and we expect you to walk into the rally at the same time we do.
We’ll be driving from Orange County, so we plan to be there around 10:00-10:30. We will try to find parking in Lot 12, on the north side of 9th street and walk to LA Live. We will not be on Figueroa for the parade part. Instead, we’ll watch the arrival of the buses from the closed off area in front of Staples.
If this works for you, reply to this post with info to contact you.

It’s totally sad because I wanted to take my 7 year-old daughter to the parade and rally, but the Kings removed the direct link to Ticketmaster on the parade page. By the time I found the Rally page at Ticketmaster, seats were sold out. If anyone has two tickets available, it would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I can even seat her on my lap with one ticket? The parade, at least, should be a blast, and I am glad that opportunity is available for everyone.
