Hi there,

Let me just give you a little background on my situation. Basically I have been a big NHL Fan for about 8 years now. I went to see one of the Ducks / Kings games in London last year and had a great time, however it didn't seem to have such a good atmosphere to what the games in America / Canada seem to have.

Me and my family are going to Orlando on February 13th for two weeks, we are doing the usual Disney / Theme Park thing which should be fun. We have got a hire car because we wanted to go Busch Gardens. I thought I could try and go Busch Gardens and a Lightning game in the same day. The plan is to try and go the game against the Caps on Saturday 16th Feb.

A few questions:

How far is it from Busch Gardens to the St. Pete Times Arena?

Would I have any problems getting tickets on the day of the game or should I order them before hand?

It would quite simply be awesome to see a certain Lightning #4 and a #8 Capital if you know what I mean!

I would order your tickets ahead of time because you would probably have a little better chance getting a ticket then rather than if you waited until game day. It doesn't look like Busch Gardens and St. Pete's Time Forum is very far apart since it almost looks like they're both in the Tampa Bay area (I looked online).
