It’s that time of year when season ticket prices increased for many Vegas Golden Knights season ticket holders and LVSportsBiz.com asked on Twitter season ticket holders for their opinions and comments on the VGK ticket cost increases.

Let’s take a look at the reactions.

 

Ticket price increases depend on where your seat is located and how long your season ticket plan is.

Some fans warned the Golden Knights to not price out VGK backers, while others mentioned that the prices are increasing based on the demand in the market.

Here’s an interesting comment from Rich: “The novelty of being there has passed.”

Super fan Christopher Green observed:

Team Marketing Report, the publication that tracks game costs for fans attending Major League sports events, has reported that the Golden Knights’ average ticket is $104.36, fourth highest in the National Hockey League out of 31 teams. That was reported before Golden Knights season ticket holders received their price increases this week.

The Vegas Golden Knights sent this statement from team President Kerry Bubolz:

“We always strive to achieve season ticket member pricing that is both fair and competitive. We conduct extensive research and data analysis in order to ensure this. We place a premium on fan experience and are proud of the investments we have made in this area. From the in-arena entertainment the moment you arrive to the Fortress to the quality of play from the team on the ice, we will continue to make the necessary investments to ensure the fan experience is second to none in all of professional sports. All these factors, coupled with the value of Golden Knights tickets on the secondary ticket market and the multiple exclusive member-only benefits we continue to offer, guided our decisions.”

Here’s another fan reaction.

 

VFK fan Chris Godfrey said the prices are coming in line with the market.
