FAQ's for the Griffins School Day Game

You will work directly with a Griffins group sales representative and they will coordinate everything from pricing information, ticket order timelines, ticket delivery methods, and day of game information pertinent to you and your students. 

Doors will open to our event at 10 for the pre-game activities, and the game starts at 11am

The average Griffins game is 2.5 hours after puck drop, however we understand if you need to leave before the end of the game.

All students and any teacher or faculty, parent, chaperone, bus driver, or other adult with the group will need a ticket to get into the game. However, all tickets within the group come at the school discounted rate!
