Last week, like thousands of other season ticket holders, I got my yearly invoice asking for my deposit on next year’s season tickets. Of course the most annoying thing is that they ask me for my deposit BEFORE they tell me what the price of tickets for my two seats in D-7 will be once the move to the new arena is complete. Still waiting for that info!
Last year for my two tickets I paid a deposit of $769.70. This year the deposit was $840. I am not sure if this is a harbinger of a ticket price increase or not. But the 9.1% increase would be inline, but high, with what we have recently seen. It would also mean that the total cost of my tickets will be over $4,000 this year if true.
Of course with a season ticket waiting list the Penguins certainly probably feel confident that they can raise prices. It is simply supply and demand after all.
What I don’t like is the Penguins asking me for money before telling me what the total bill will be. I think it is sort of underhanded if you really want my opinion.

Could NOT agree more – I lodged a formal complaint with the team over this practice. I understand they will likely increase, but to ask for $$ before we have seat locations OR prices is really bad customer service – and they won;t sell out forever. One would think they’d take steps now to please the fan base so that 5000 of us don’t run for the hills during the next losing cycle.
By the way, I’ve got 4 seats in D7 Row H…what row are you? I live 2+ hrs away and only can make about 10 games per year, I sell the rest to family and friends here.
