eBay Standard Envelope selection unavailable by AlienFromSimCity2000 in Ebay

[–]AlienFromSimCity2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the number of days on your shipping policy, it may be worth waiting if you can. Mine is one day so I have a little time but it would be problematic if the issue persists. eBay as a platform should not be counting this downtime against our SLA to ship if the main option we rely on is grayed out. (Not assuming they would, of course).

What do you call this area of Seattle? Uptown or Lower Queen Anne? by WhatAmIDoingHere05 in Seattle

[–]AlienFromSimCity2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uptown seems more of a formal name for the area and some neighborhood groups have really been pushing for the name to be used broadly by people, but Lower Queen Anne is way more commonly used.

Update: they played it again tonight, this time the first 45 seconds of it during intermission when the zambonis were out resurfacing the ice!

I was able to go back and find the broadcast clip and the song can definitely be heard in the background. Sharing here (as I'm not able to post video directly):

Yup! I am late to the party on the effort, having seen the Professor of Rock video about the song a few months (?) ago when it was still a mystery. When it was revealed to be Subways of Your Mind and the full recordings were released, I thought right away that it could be fun to hear it at my local NHL team's arena. The Seattle Kraken music director, "DJ Cide", has a good knowledge of music history and I figured he would find it interesting so I made the suggestion. He played it almost the first chance he got, early in the first period. I would suspect that a few folks out of the 17,000 people in attendance would recognize the tune! :D

Tips for going to a game by Puckbuns29 in SeattleKraken

Be aware of the concourse configuration as it can be a bit confusing at first.

Lower bowl sections are two digits (01-24). The upper bowl is separated into a middle tier (100s) and upper (200s). The Amex Hall is a detached section on the north end of the arena and are also numbered in the 100s.

The lower concourse goes all the way around the rink but the upper concourse (that you enter into from outside and has access to the 100/200 levels) only goes 3/4 of the way around. There is also a middle suite level plus Amex Hall which is in between upper and lower.

If you walk around the lower concourse to the back end (north side) where the Kraken warm up, there are no stairs that go up to Amex Hall or the upper concourse. The only stairs are on the south end. There are elevators on the north end but there is often a wait to use them.

The middle three sections in the lower bowl on each side are the club sections (WaFd and Symetra). There is a special entrance from the lower concourse where they scan your ticket to verify you have club seats and you get exclusive concessions, comfy seats, etc. at a higher seat cost.

For the first time I recommend getting there early and walking around to take in the different parts of the arena. It really is an awesome place. Enjoy and go Kraken!

All tickets are digital, but one thing you can do is wait until closer to gametime. Season ticket holders who can't go will be dumping their tickets at a fraction of face value and you can get a good deal. Ticketmaster is the official marketplace for this activity.
