UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. Penn State men’s hockey season ticket renewals for the 2017-18 campaign are now available through Friday, June 16. Season ticket prices will remain consistent from last season. The Nittany Lions will host 17 regular-season home games at Pegula Ice Arena.
HV Note:
Same price as last year? Or maybe not?
Hockey season ticket renewal notices just went out this morning (2 1/2 months later than last year).
According to the GoPSU website “Season ticket prices will remain consistent from last season.” What is conspicuously absent from the press release is that, while the price may be the same, we are playing three less home games (there’s zero mention of how many games were on the schedule last year).
Last year, when the season ticket prices went UP, that was framed as “All season-ticket price increases correspond with the team playing 20 games in 2016-17 as compared to the 18 played during the first three seasons at Pegula Ice Arena.” I have no problem with that. An increase should have been expected.
This year we play 17 home games, but there’s no equivalent ticket price reduction.
Very typical. I don’t know who they think they are fooling.
Note: I don’t have an issue with the price increase. Clearly, demand would suggest that the tickets are under priced. It’s the BS subterfuge they are going through to hide the actual price increase that bothers me.
