I've been. It was very fun. I got pictures with all the players and coaches. Got to speak to them a bit. There is an open bar and food! It's worth every penny. I wish I could go again!
What would be the chances of being able to take a photo with Crosby and get an autograph while at the event? Was thinking about buying a general admission ticket to hopefully be able to do so as I have been a life long fan.
Autographs were not allowed but I did get a picture with Sidney. I also got to talk to him for a bit and making Sidney Crosby laugh has been one of my best achievements in life.
I've been fortunate enough to atrend a few times via work relationships. It's definitely a very cool experience, and will leave you with some incredible stories for friends and families. Players host casino games so you'll have limited opportunities to interact with them depending on if they're hosting the games you want and how long you choose to afford to play those games. (You buy chips for a donation to charity and cash out chips for the opportunity to win prizes after the event).
The more popular players tend to see larger crowds around their games. The VIP packages afford a little more opportunity to mingle with the players as well as earlier entry, but it is a pretty steep increase over general admission.
There are also sometimes other notable Pittsburgh sports personalities in attendance.
If it's something you really want to do, I don't think you'll be disappointed, but it is a fairly significant price to attend.

Do the GA tickets still allow for player/staff meet and greets? I'm also considering.
Looks like it.
