GI: Toronto Raptors Outing

[p-o-g-i]

Hey folks,

So I’ve been noodling with this idea for a while now as I have organized this kind of outing a couple of times for my previous work place and current work place, as well as with another Car Club… so I thought I would go ahead and see how the interest would be here.

As some of you already know, I’ve been doing some work with Maple Leafs Sports + Entertainment the last couple of years. Building on our relationship, I am able to do special projects from time to time… and here is what I am proposing for you guys:



Option 1:

- 1 seat in the lower bowl (Rogers Red Zone)
- enter through the VIP entrance to take part in the "Johnnie Walker" experience
- "Johnnie Walker" experience includes 1 hour of Scotch tasting and hors d'oeuvres
- Scotch tasting is from 5pm-6pm… general public allowed in the building at 6pm… games starts at 7pm
-a souvenir Johnnie Walker money clip

$70 ($54 for the ticket + $16 for the “Johnnie Walker” experience) (this includes taxes and services charges)

Tuesday March 1st vs. New Orleans Hornets
Friday March 11th vs. Indiana Pacers
Friday February March 18th vs. Washington Wizards



Option 2:

- 1 seat in the lower bowl (Rogers Red Zone)
- a courtside view of the pre- game practice/ shootaround
- courtside view of the practice/ shootaround is from 5pm-6pm… general public allowed in the building at 6pm… games starts at 7pm

$59 (this includes taxes and services charges)

Friday February 9th vs. San Antonio
Sunday February 27th vs. Dallas Mavericks
Friday March 18th vs. Washington Wizards

$54 (this includes taxes and service charges)

Sunday February 13th vs. L.A. Clippers



*for whatever time the game starts, we would have to arrive 2 hours prior
**I’m getting the discounts/ specials because of the work I’ve done with MLSE at my current job and previous job; no I’m not making any money off of this... I'm paying the same amount listed above


I wanted to provide different options as I know that money can be tight at times (normally for me right after I pay bills each month :) ).
I'm hoping that this would be something everyone would enjoy. Let me know if you're interested… and which option and game you would be interested.

So the response I'm requesting please:
1. Are you interested?
2. If you are interested, what option(s) are you interested in? (you can choose either or both)
3. Which game(s) were you interested in? (you can choose more than 1 game)

Thanks.

(I'll post some pics later today of the view we would have from the Rogers Red Zone)

Chris, do we all have to show up together or arrive on our own?

[MistaChin]

Damn I would have loved to see the Clippers and Blake Griffin but I have some plans for V-Day. DAMN!!

Would you be doing this in the future, Chris? Please say yes :(

[joghia]

psssh, that day is nothing but a cash grab for retailers. buy yourself something nice :P besides, its the day before.

[p-o-g-i]

For either option, if you are taking part in the JW Experience or viewing the shootaround, yes we all have to enter at the same time. If you're just going to the game itself... You can arrive whenever you want.

I'm very interested too, is this only open to TM3 members or can we bring a friend or 2?

[MistaChin]

I vote Option 2, Friday March 18th vs Washington Wizards!

Oh Chris, it's Wednesday February 9th for the San An game.

and +1 for Kelvin's question. Friends or no friends allowed?

[p-o-g-i]

You can invite another person if you like, but I'm giving priority to members here first.

[MistaChin]

Alright cool. Maybe set up a poll ?

[jonjon72]

Hey Chris. Count me in if I can bring the GF. Good with either option.

[PearlM3]

I'm in for option 2 any Sunday game as long as the wife can tag aling

Thanks guys for responding to this thread and showing interest.
I'll have the new thread up in the next day or so. So keep an eye out for it and sign up :)


Thanks.

[MistaChin]

Hopefully its either the San An or Washington game. I really want to make it to this!

[S.F.W.]

Why is nobody else interested in the Scotch tasting option?

[MistaChin]

Why is nobody else interested in the Scotch tasting option?

Because I can drink scotch anytime I want

[hit26k]

Because I can drink scotch anytime I want

+1. and the only free time i have are on the weekends.

Why is nobody else interested in the Scotch tasting option?

its like $10-15 more and you can have "a few" before the game WITH whore-d'oeuvres
Beers at the ACC is about $9 each

if you can get at least 3-4 "tasters" - you're ahead of the game.
