Oak View Group and the City of Seattle unveiled the "On Sale" ticket-deposit campaign Tuesday.
Are you itching to secure tickets for Seattle’s possible NHL franchise? Starting March 1, you can do so through a refundable deposit.
The Oak View Group, which is planning a $600 million renovation of KeyArena, and the City of Seattle on Tuesday unveiled the “On Sale” ticket-deposit campaign, which will allow Seattle-area hockey fans the chance to make deposits for season tickets beginning March 1 at NHLSeattle.com.
“I’m telling you, mark your calendars,” Mayor Jenny Durkan tweeted following her first State of the City address Tuesday at Rainier Beach High School.
Fans can submit deposits for regular- and club-season tickets. Regular-season ticket deposits will cost $500, and club-season tickets will go for $1,000. The differences between the two plans are detailed on NHLSeattle.com:
