Pure Hockey is gone, but they added a buy back program that full and half STMs can sell up to 5 games of tickets back to the team. Increases aren’t too bad considering.

My seats in Center Ice Club went up about $400 a seat for full season so not bad at all. The buyback program is interesting and I’m curious to see how the credit will vary by game. I’ve usually given away seats to a few games I can’t attend so getting some credit for those will be nice if it’s close to what I paid for a random weekday ticket.
Prepaid parking also went up $2 a game to $19 for full season.
Think the buyback program is a creative improvement but of course will need to see how much they’ll give you for a game.
Will now be paying $27 a game to sit in row B of fan zone which is still a steal. I’ll live with the parking increase if they promise to pave the damn south lots.
Got rid of Pure Hockey and a 1800 increase per ticket in the section we just had to move to after getting priced out of 101. After 12 years of dedicated STM ownership, I’m out
Just got the new price to renew my lower level season ticket in 114. Last year a single ticket cost $1,800. This year the price jumped to $2,400. The renewal cost is going to be $3,139.
That is a big increase over three years.
No vouchers is a kick in the pants
1000$ increase due to the pure hockey deletion. Hope some corporate entity likes my seat…
Anyone want to go half-sies on Fan Zone full season, 2 seats? (I get half the games, you get half the games) Comes out to $30 per seat after taxes
Buyback program seems like it’s not really going to be that helpful…
…cashing in a ticket for a *credit* for *next year’s renewal* seems kinda drawn out. Resell still seems like the better option
Initial thoughts for me. My tickets (terrace preferred) went up $4.30/game and my premier parking went up $3/game. Pretty much what I expected as they were obviously going to raise prices. We’re 7th in the league in attendance yet have some of the cheapest tickets in the NHL.
I never used vouchers so the loss of those isn’t big for me. I never found they provided much value because you could only get terrible seats.
Interested in the buy back program. If they only give partial credit then I don’t think it will be worth anything.
Increase breakdown by section, not including PH pricing since that is gone.

I’ve seen almost a 70% increase in my seat price over the last two years. The team is truly taking advantage of us as fans.
Info from my rep: premier parking is $33 a game. Premier gold is $45, both have a waitlist. Buy back will be based on dynamic pricing so rangers will be more than a midweek Ottawa game. There will be bands of games (like gold silver bronze from previous years) and will be exchangeable across and down, or up with additional cost. Blackout games will still happen but not as many.
Does anyone know how the payment plans work? I’ve never had ST’s before, but I live right by the arena and end up paying 50+ to go to games when I do go. Thinking a half-season plan would be great for me, but don’t necessarily wanna shell it all out immediately
Our tickets were $55 a piece 2 years ago. We’ve downgraded our seats from the canes side to the away side, and our tickets are now gonna be $115 a piece. Family considering letting our tickets go after 8 years, sad.
Welp glad they made the decision to save 7 grand this year for me. Plus I can drink a whole case of beer for the price of one now at home!
I had pure hockey this season and tickets for my seats will go up 50% for next season. That’s insane.
I live 3 hours away from PNC so season tickets aren’t very practical for me, but man I still can dream of having glass season tickets.
For me at least it could have been a lot worse. The vouchers I don’t care about because they’re useless unless you exchanged them on day 1 and the price increase is to be expected.
I’m a bit surprised there’s still quarter season plans at all. I did a half season this year and it just doesn’t work for me.
The whole “only sell 25% of tickets” annoys me immensely though as it’s either not enforced or enforced poorly. There’s 2 seats in my row that have been sold for every game so far bar one. You know that’s because someone’s bought the tickets purely to turn a profit, blocking out someone who would have legitimately bought and used them. Plus the guy usually ends up dumping the tickets at last minute so when I do need to sell mine I can only sell them for less than what I paid for them.
Given the amount of lower bowl seats available before every game I think there’s a lot of that going on.
