This brings us to the Chicago Blackhawks fans. ![]() Thankfully, their plan didn’t get very far, but still. Heck, one of the Detroit Red Wings fans even tried to burn the place down. The next question that comes to mind is whether or not any of the people who are so disenfranchised by this policy ever searched for an alternate method of purchasing said tickets? It is a little known fact that even if you are an out-of-state fan, or even the fan of an opposing team, that you are more than free to contact the Tampa Bay Lightning Box Office directly and they will hook you up straight away.Īs you can tell, there were been plenty of Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, and even New York Rangers fans inside the Amalie Arena cheering their hearts out for their team.

The other half of the responsibility for this lies in the hands of the multiple media outlets who are choosing to report only the facts they feel will get them headlines and not the fact that there are plenty of ways for opposing teams’ fans to get what they desire.Įarlier today, things escalated to a whole new level as the Tampa Bay Lightning prepare to take the ice against the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. ![]() Unfortunately, this is only half their fault. When the Tampa Bay Lightning announced that there would be certain stipulations in place during the post season that would tighten the reins on who would be able to purchase tickets to the Lightning’s home games at Amalie Arena and what they would be able to wear once inside, the internet seemed to break.Įach time the Tampa Bay Lightning would advance to another round, the fans of the next team on the list would make it seem as if these policies are a personal vendetta against them and how we here in the Bolts Nation are apparently “scared” of the opposing team’s fans taking over the arena. ![]() ![]() The Tampa Bay Lightning ’s ticket policies for the post season have opposing team’s fans in an uproar, but can we all separate the facts from the fiction?
