Awesome! The wife and I are definitely going.

Was planning on going but not driving 3 hrs for a 45 min scrimmage and 2 45min auto sessions. With that said I have tickets to 10 games this year , let me know if you want any of the usual freebies. Programs,magnets,schedules etc.

lol im usually in the same boat but i have to drive to Tampa for work at least once a week (from Bunnell) about and hour or some south of you so i've gotten used to it, plus we'll be in Davenport anyways so its only about and hour drive. We'll probably end up going to a bunch of games as well this season, we went to 3 or 4 + a SC game but this season it'll be much more! lol

Yeah youre about 45 mins south of me.Parking tip at the Forum: Park at the Whiting street intersection about 4-5 blocks from the arena. Its about 5-10 bucks and easy in/easy out to 75. If you need any tickets this season let me know. I may have some available or able to get them cheaper possible thru my rep for ya. Also I made that drive to Orlando Magic's Amway Center enough last year Ive pretty much got it down where to park etc and almost the same time home every game if ya need tips.

Thanks for the tips i appreciate it. I have no clue which games specifically we'll be going to as of yet but ill keep that in mind. I know for sure we'll be going to see the Leafs and Ducks when they're in town but the others we're unsure of. We're not much of basketball fans but we may go see a couple Solar Bears games at the Amway while we're in Orlando.

new details released:

Lightning Season Ticket Members will have an exclusive autograph signing session on the club level concourse and a private question and answer session in the Firestick Grill (on the club level) during the autograph sessions.

So the guys signing wont be any top level fan favorite unless youre a STM is my guess.

In addition to meeting the team and watching the Lightning scrimmage, fans will also have the chance to receive discounted prices on food and beverages from concession stands inside Amalie Arena. The discounts include $2 hot dogs, $1 sodas, $4 beers, $3 Little Caesars ® pizza slices, $2 Tim Horton's coffees and free popcorn.

The Lightning will be offering fans an exclusive ticket package, the Bolts Bucks First Four Package, while at Fan Fest.
