I had heard pricing was supposed to be released today, but haven't seen anything in my email yet. Does anyone have the breakdown of seat prices? I understand different areas of the rink will have different pricing (similar to many bigger rinks).

What are everyone’s thoughts on the new starting prices for STH $480+tax adult $413+tax senior $131+tax student/youth The student/youth prices are interesting as these are significantly lower than the current prices, which is a good thing since the Cats had some of the more expensive child tickets in the league. You might get more families on board with season tickets since they are more likely to want to also buy a parking pass (looking at $150 or so) and can used the savings to get pay for their parking. I did expect abit of an increase, the experience is going to be far superior to the coliseum. Im going to guess itll be in the ballpark of 525+tax for the better sections which puts it in the same range as the Sea Dogs who they mimic often. As far as I know the club seats are going to be $1200 but it also gives you first right of refusal for any event at the centre which is a nice perk for concert goers if you can afford it. There should be some very good acts rolling through. I'm glad they are going to have an ice level bar like in Harbour station. Anything they can do to bring in the younger folks to this building and make some new fans. They wont miss the few hundred seats that are impacted by it |

Thanks for the link of the zones - it makes sense to charge different prices for the different zones. If club seats really are $1200, that's almost double the current price - quite an increase. The starting prices are quite reasonable - a 10% increase over current prices. I just realized that seniors prices start at age 60 at the coliseum - so I'll be looking at those prices in not too many years!

You get in seat service, a bigger padded seat & access to the club lounge which is something that doesn't exist today that will be a nice perk. Especially for those who like the "status' of it. Those people exist in the City and don't really have a way to show their money off or treat customers or clients in the current coliseum. For the first time going to a wildcats game between the suites, the club seats, the regular centre seats & the high up end seats they won't sell season tickets for you will actually be able to see a divide in classes like at an NHL game. |

I agree there are people in town who will be tempted by the status - at the coliseum, the big benefit of the club seats is the extra room, but that could be much less an issue at the new center. The in-seat food service is nice at the coliseum, but frankly I'd buy a lot less food without it (I wonder if we'd save enough on food to pay for the gold club seats - hmm). I didn't think the club seats at the new rink were going to have in-seat food service - is that confirmed?

Is no one else totally shocked by the student price for the season tickets. For children I understand ( say 13 and under) but when a student could also be a 25 year old university student, why as a 35 year old adult am I payin 4 times what they pay, that is flat out ridiculous.
Now let me say I am not expecting the adult season ticket to drop to $200 by any means, I am happy with the minimal increase to adult tickets, I just can’t understand how an adult in university ( considered a student) will get such an insane price discount.. do they value them more than myself who has shelled out long since 95 as a season ticket holder??
Also has anyone heard any info on seat selection. It is my understanding that we will not be able to enter the events centre to select our seats/ area and must do it based on photos. I don’t know about you but I am very hesitant to invest up to $1100 dollar on a. Seat I pick in photos sight unseen, that’s a big ask.
What if the railing is too high in the first rows above the retwctables, what if the railing is too high for sight lines in the new wheelchair section, what if the seat you choose blocks your view of the corner on the same side you sit?

What are everyone’s thoughts on the new starting prices for STH $480+tax adult $413+tax senior $131+tax student/youth What were they last year ? That is $14.11 per game for an adult ticket ... based on 34 home games. $12.15 per game senior. I don't find those rates outrageous. Edit: Oops ... forgot the tax ... make that $16.23 adult ... $13.97 Senior. |

Notice the chart also says "starting at". Not trying to be negative but I wonder how many are available at that price and where they are located.

It is a new facility so stands to reason per ticket and STH costs would increase. Also if you want premium seating it will be more expensive. That is industry standard no matter what. |

I asked that question at the last game. I was told if you pick a seat in mid April and come August when you are allowed into the building you don't like it. You can change your seat or get your money back. It's still a construction site until it gets turned over to the city or the management group. |
