Did you end up going to the game? It was a pretty awesome game, and i don't even follow hockey. Pretty cool that the Kings closed out at home!

We did not go after all.  The price never went lower than $700 per ticket and we could not bring ourselves to pay more than $500 or at max, $600 per ticket, especially when a win was not guaranteed.  Also, it was completely depressing when we spent 2K to go in 2012 only to have the Kings lose the game we went to (they ended up finally winning game 6 but we had spent so much going to game 4 that we could not go to the game they actually won the cup at).

Losing another game like that would have been really hard to deal with.  We do not have that kind of money to blow.  Maybe when Bitcoin hits $10,000+?  Wink  Maybe then we can justify the price but we are not at that point of luxury yet.  Sad but true.  Hopefully the Kings will end up in the Stanley Cup finals again next year and we will be in a better place thanks to Bitcoin.  We will see.  That is a gamble too I guess.

even though he really wanted to, at least you guys have $1400 more in your pocket.

Figure out the cons and pros.

What are the cons of holding the bitcoin?

What are the pros of getting to the Kings Stanley Cup Game for your anniversary?

Think of the financial, physical, and emotional expericience you would have of holding your bitcoin(and hoping for a price rise) or going to the Kings Stanley Cup Game. Then make your decision.

IMO: It would matter based on how much bitcoin I have, and how much I really wanted to see the Kings Stanley Cup Game.

Also: You should try buying 1 altcoin that rhymes with "Barkcoin". incase you'd like to make back that 2 BTC.

It is our anniversary today.  BitchicksHusband LOVES the LA KINGS!  We tried to go to the game two years ago.  We got scammed by someone on Craigslist and were sold bad tickets.  We went ahead and purchased more tickets at a higher price then the Kings lost that game and we could not afford to go to game 7 when they actually won the cup.  It was an overall pretty depressing experience.

So here we are two years later.  We would have to sell at least 2 coins to go because the cheapest seats are over $700 right now.

What do you think?  I know coins are not "everything."  I just wish we were at the peak of another bubble. This decision would be much easier then. Wink  This forum is full of mostly men so perhaps the opinions will be biased though. 



no. save them
and put them each one on a thumbdrive, the wallet and encrypt and promise each other you cannot touch them for 3 years and see what they will be worth, on that exact date in 3 years you will sell



a present any man would adore is wake him in the morning with a bj (if you swallow, he will probably marry you on the spot)  Grin, then make him a full english breakfast in bed.
he will love you forever and it's virtually free.

thats it. no man could resonably expect anymore than this

The Kings had an epic win in 2nd overtime!  Maybe we should have spent the $700 per ticket?  Of course, we didn't really know what the outcome would be and the game was close.  It could have gone either way.

Regardless, hubby is happy.  Kings won the cup!!!  Grin

No girl, for $800 you can get a HUGE screen TV, pizzas, beer, sexy lingerie, sex toys, the energizer bunny, and whipping cream Wink

This gets my vote.

But we already have all that. Wink

OK then, for $800 you can get a suite at a good hotel with a large screen to watch the game, jacuzzi for warm up, pool size bed for main action , room service for break time, those tiny little shampoo and shower gel sets and let's not forget: sexy lingerie, sex toys, whipping cream and last but not least the energizer bunny  Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin


EDIT: Did I mention that you get those tiny little shampoo and shower gel sets  Grin

if money were tight, and the wife didn't like hockey.. i'd just say "let me go solo." makes more sense.. it is important to share moments with your spouse, but shit, i don't mind going alone.

thats like, the saddest story i ever heard.

lol

BitchicksHusband went to a round 2 game with a buddy.  Even his friends don't want to spend $700+ on a game though!  I guess our friends are not that rich. Wink

We do have a cousin that has season seats.  They are behind the glass and those tickets down low are going for $2000+.  He gets them free from work.  Nice perk!  He takes his wife of course.  He has shared the seats with us in the past but not for a playoff game. That won't happen.

Sharing, that's the key-word.

$700 a seat is a lot.  I couldn't see myself spending
that much on pretty much anything even though
I could "afford" it.

$700 $800 a seat?  Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

I thought she wanted to sell a couple of coins to go to the match and other things too (travelling, Hotel, etc).

Doesn't that sound better?

Trust me.  I can think of many things I would love more than spending $800 a seat for.  It is just that my husband loves the King so much and I love him so that is why I would be willing to sacrifice.  But even he said it isn't really worth it at that price.

Maybe next year?  If the price per coin gets to $10,000 we can afford them then!   Grin

I could "afford" it.

The prices are now $798 for the cheapest seats!  Shocked  I have been watching the prices all day.

If we could be guaranteed the Kings would be raising the cup at the end of the game it might be worth it but it is still a gamble.  Seeing your team lose a playoff game is painful.  Paying $1600 to see them lose is totally depressing!  

At this point it looks like we aren't going.  Sad  I am watching the prices on StubHub though.  If they drop below $600 pretty soon here we might just do it.

awww... well i wish you guys the best.  maybe give him a different kind of treat.  
the best things are life are free...hint hint wink wink lol
