Golden Knights Will Start Selling Tickets To Season Ticket Holders Wednesday For Seven March Games At T-Mobile Arena

The Vegas Golden Knights will start selling tickets to VGK season ticket holders for games at T-Mobile Arena starting Wednesday
The first game is Monday, when the Minnesota Wild come to Las Vegas to play the VGK March 1 and 3. Eighty percent of the arena is sold to season ticket holders and those ticket holders who rolled over their season deals to 2022 will get first crack at buying tickets for seven home games in March, said Todd Pollock, Golden Knights VP for ticking and suites.
Season ticket holders are expected to snap up many of the 2,605 tickets, which represent 15 percent of the capacity of an arena where the fixed seat capacity is 17,367. Clark County Health officials gave the Golden Knights permission to have 15 percent capacity at T-Mobile Arena even though VGK owner Bill Foley was hoping for the 20 percent capacity mentioned by Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak in his recent COVID-19 directive.
“Let’s get back and have some fun,” Foley told Channel 8 in Las Vegas recently.
Here is a summary of the Golden Knights COVID-19 ticket-selling game plan to handle the 15 percent attendance capacity.
Pollock said some tickets will be set aside for the general public to buy on Thursday.
Tickets will be able to be purchased in pods of two, four or six.
The Golden Knights are returning to their “playoff vow” program that calls for season ticket holders to get a break on ticket prices if they “vow” or promise to not resell their tickets. Golden Knights have their own reselling program, but VGK tickets are inevitably acquired by secondary market resellers. Visiting team fans will often use those secondary resellers to buy tickets for games at T-Mobile Arena.

The Golden Knights are also working on getting approval to sell tickets and have fan attendance at the Orleans Arena for the Henderson Silver Knights, the VGK affiliate in the American Hockey League.
Pollock said the team worked with the state Department Business and Industry, Sisolak and county health officials on a game p;an to have 15 percent of the seats used for VGK games.
Here is a list of more COVID-19 requirements.
More than 300 days have passed since the fans have been to a Golden Knights hockey game at T-Mobile Arena.
