Tarik's got an article on Washington Post about the ticket sales for the upcoming season. He talks about season tickets, and price increases. The article can be found here."The Capitals had one of the NHL's lowest season ticket bases at the start of last season, believed to be about 5,000, but that figure could double and move the team closer to the league's midpoint by opening night."
"Jim Van Stone, the Capitals vice president of ticket sales, said yesterday that 3,800 new full season ticket plans have been sold since late February thanks to a renewed interest in the team and more aggressive sales and marketing strategies. He also said sales of partial plans are similarly brisk, while the renewal rate for existing season ticket holders is about 93 percent, the highest since Ted Leonsis purchased the team in 1999."
"I'd love to say we expected this, or planned this," Van Stone said. "We're amazed by the support."
I personally am thrilled that there are going to be more fans in the stands. Towards the end of last year it was amazing how loud the crowd was, and how the players reacted towards it. Hopefully the fans keep the "ROCK THE RED."
It might be a little harder to buy tickets now.

More tickets! But damn they just HAD to get more expensive eh? (should we blame Pothier and his long-term injury for this?)
Center seats for $105...damn...for just ONE game???
That's not that expensive. Center seats are down in the lower bowl, pretty close to the ice. The prices are going up, but they're not as high as places like Toronto and Montreal.
