Can anyone tell me how the experience with access to the courtside club is? It says food and drink is included, and well, with the Pels record these tickets are slipping into my price range and I am wondering how the experience is. What food is included, etc.?

Our firm has 2 courtside club season tickets; row 6, dead center. The way the food and drink is included (at least in our case) is that you have a certain amount credited to an account, which you can access and use/pay for with Google Wallet or Apple wallet (at present we have a little over $500 left, so it's a pretty good amount to start with).

So, I don't think that you will get free food/drink if you buy a courtside club ticket on the secondary market.

Back when there were paper tickets, each ticket had a $20 credit that you could use via a barcode on the paper ticket, but that is no longer the case.

You can use the wallet pass for food and drink anywhere in the arena, but in the actual club areas (at the top of the lower bowl on either side) have special, fancy-schmancy offerings that change from game to game (carved prime rib sandwich, crawfish etouffee, loaded nachos, etc., etc.) but those are more expensive than the concourse items.

Bar is pretty nice, too, but I don't think the offerings or prices are any different than the ones in the concourse.... there are also lots of tables to eat at and couches and such to sit on in the club itself.

There is usually a protein dish (steak/fish), flatbread pizza, sometimes a pasta, nachos, and lots of snacks. They serve small portions, but you can fill up if you want. Also there is a dessert table that my kids love. The bar is good.

Everything is elevated in the Chairmans club where they have a seafood tower section, better food, and nicer booze.

It is all free.

Courtside club is the first three rows of black seats next to the court. Previous posted said row 6, that is the regular club section which is completely different.

Courtside club is all inclusive food and drink. Get there early before the game to grab a table in the club to relax before the game. If you sit near the back right side you can see the players enter and exit the locker room through the glass hallway before the court entrance. Last, if you want a nice cocktail the two ladies at the bar on right side of the club when you walk in have a solid liquor selection and make better cocktails than from the bigger bar.

Fun to do if you can get affordable tickets and great view of the game. Hope you enjoy.

It's a nice set up. Multiple bars plus a nice draft beer selection. Good food selection too, plus popcorn, candy, etc. It's a nice perk that comes with courtside seats. First row courtside also has access to the Chariman's Club, which is a separate all-inclusive club room through the Courtside Club.

I have had the good fortune to have been invited a bunch of times. You get to go in the club suite by the tunnel leading to the Pels locker room. The food, liquor and wine are top notch. After a while I feel compelled to drag myself court side to watch the game.

After reading the following post, maybe is is the Chairman’s Club I am talking about.

It’s pretty cool. The chairman club is where it’s at though. Been about three times. You’re right next to the locker room watching the players warm up. The food is incredible with multiple chefs cooking dishes and the seafood setup is unreal. Everything is free. Multiple bars too. The vibe is cool with the seating areas. They got a candy snack wall that you just take whatever you want. Plus you always see celebs in there just chillin.
