RYS Expert Reviews

100 Level Center (Hockey)

- With a lower level seating position near the middle of the ice, the 100 Level Center sections are home to some of the best seats in the house. Fans will have an ideal perspective to both nets while still feeling close to all the action. For a one of a kind experience, fans can sit directly behind the team benches in parts of Sections 104-106. Being just a pane of glass away from your favorite players is one of the most exciting places to be, however watching the game over the players and coaches shoulders can often be difficult. For the best overall views, we recommend sitting near Row 19 which will give you great seating elevation and keep you close to the section entry tunnels.

Rinkside VIP

(2026 Review) - Rinkside VIP tickets feature one of the most desirable experiences at a Sabres game. This area refers to the first row of seating in the lower level - also known as Glass Seats. Fans will enjoy a memorable experience no matter where they sit. Those along the side will be near the player benches or penalty boxes. And those near the end will feel the vibrations of the boards and have the closest look at scoring plays. Rinkside VIP season ticketholders receive access to the Lexus Club and Seneca Sports Lounge. Some single game tickets also come with these privileges. If this is important to you, review the seller notes when purchasing tickets to determine if you will have access.

Washington Capitals at Buffalo Sabres - Apr 2, 2024 Good seats except just a little too close to the penalty box, which blocks the view of one goal. Otherwise the seats were good.
