** Buying Leafs Tickets At the ACC **

I'd just like to take some time and share some knowledge for all who are interested and may not know. Since nobody else has created a Guide for Leafs Tickets at the ACC as of the first writing of this guide, let me pass off some advice to perspective buyers.
We all know that Maple Leafs Tickets are in high demand, and hen it gees to buying them, sometimes e-bay is the only way to purchase them, but you have to be careful, not all seller disclose the actual seat information in hopes they can pawn off some bad seats at a profit to buy better seats.There are 3 main types of seats in the ACC. 1) Full view, Actual Seats2) Standing Room Only3) Obstructed View1) FULL VIEW ACTUAL SEATSFull view actual seats are seats where you can see the entire ice surface, this is what the majority of buyers have in mind when they want to purchase tickets. Most E-Bayers will post if they are full view actual seats, these are the ones that sell at a premium price.2) STANDING ROOM ONLYThese seats are located as far from the ice as you can essentially get. There are no seats, there is a type of railing to lean on. These are located in the 300 levels, row 19. They are designated by an "S" on the ticket. If there are tickets you are interested in buying and they are inthe 300'sand really high (row 19 or 20), make sure you ask the seller if they are standing room or not. If the seller states they are not standing room and they end up being standing room, the seller did not disclose pertinent information and e-bay should be contacted immediately. 3) OBSTRUCTED VIEWIts hard sometimes to tell which seats are obstructed view. But as a norm they are the higher rows in sections 313, 317, 301 and 305. Many sellers do not disclose this information. In these sections, the higher you are the less of the ice you can see, usually you miss plays in the near opposite corner and if you unknowingly purchase obstructed view tickets and expect a great view, you will definitely be disappointed. If you happen to gee across tickets in these sections and they are listed with an "X" beside them, then they are obstructed viewing, any seat in those sections above row 7 are likely somewhat obstructed. Always ask before purchasing. These are rows 9 and above in the previously mentioned sections.
NOTE: There are various websites that allow people to see a simulated view from their seats. I am unable do to e-bay policy to provide a link, however, if you use google and search ACC 3D seating chart, you will be able to get a panoramic view of the ice surface from your perspective seats.At the box office, both obstructed view seats and standing room only seats sell for less than $50, so keep that in mind when bidding.
Hope this helps and best of bidding to everyone.If you found this guide helpful, please vote yes below so others can learn from it as well.
