Spend the extra few bucks and buy the VIP tickets but don't wait until just before 7 to get there. You want to get a good seat in the VIP area. There may be chairs and all but you still don't have an assigned seat and want to get a prime viewing spot. If you get the GA tickets you'll find yourself standing for 2+ hours or sitting on the hard floor. Just a word of advice from this middle aged gal.
For your ticket you get a garage band, hilarious (but informative) announcers, a few in the crowd promotions, two hour long games and if your lucky like we were you meet some very cool people who are having fun too!
This is not the roller derby of your Saturday mornings as a kid...these gals follow league rules, play hard and have some mad skating skills. Plus very cool names: Bustin' Beaver, Rapid Monkey (which we thought was Rabid Monkey most of the night!), Jekyll & Heidi, Mayhem Angelou and this one Fright Train that kicked some serious skating butt.
The usual overpriced Bayou Place booze is available, they sell some cool merch for the roller derby teams and it's good clean fun...bring your family.
