The Kraken have "unveiled pricing" for season tickets and among the "more interesting developments: 9,712 tickets will be sold in 22-game half-season plans -- the biggest such offering by any NHL team," according to Geoff Baker of the SEATTLE TIMES. Depositors can "purchase those seats in both the upper and lower bowls" at Climate Pledge Arena "without a multi-year commitment, though there will be options for three years and five years at current pricing." The "cheapest of those seats, in the upper bowl, will be $50, or $1,100 for 22 games," while the "most expensive lower bowl tickets go for $170 or $3,740 per half-season." Kraken CEO Tod Leiweke "hopes the 22-game plans and more than 40 pricing options offered ensures tickets for most people on the team’s remaining deposit list of 26,500." The team "will not restrict fans’ ability to re-sell their seats on the secondary market -- with the proviso they refrain from engaging in 'broker behavior' and unloading large swaths of them in lieu of attending games." The initial deposit list "of nearly 33,000" was "whittled down during the sale of 2,613 premium club level seats that wrapped up in February." An additional waiting list "now numbers more than 53,000 -- including individuals wanting multiple seats." The team said that "more than 5,000 season tickets will cost $100 per game or less" (SEATTLE TIMES, 8/12).
