The Lightning have sold out Amalie Arena for 193-consecutive games dating back to March '15GETTY IMAGES
Lightning officials last month "quietly sent out renewal notices and playoff ticket sales for season ticket holders" with a 10% increase -- the "same year after year price hike" the team has had before, according to Mari Faiello of the TAMPA BAY TIMES. Season-ticket holders "saw prices change across the board with the most premium seats, the Lexus Lounge Row A, coming in at $325 per game." The cheapest seats offered at Amalie Arena next season are "listed at $24 per game." Despite the team currently leading the Eastern Conference by 17 points, the average ticket price for a Lightning game "remains one of the lowest in the league, ranking 24th out of the 31 teams." Lightning VP/Ticket Sales & Service Travis Pelleymounter said that part of the reason why the team is "able to maintain a lower ticket price is because of Amalie's capacity and Tampa's support." He said that the attendance rate "definitely plays a factor in the sense that the team is near the top of the league in total attendance," and the team "makes a point of setting aside single-game tickets to keep adding to the base." Faiello notes Amalie Arena has sold out 193-consecutive Lightning games dating back to March '15 (TAMPA BAY TIMES, 3/13).
