LAS VEGAS, Nevada — With a new business team installed at the Vegas Golden Knights, the nine-year-old NHL franchise is rolling out a few changes for season ticket holders. The VGK sent emails to their season ticket holders Thursday.

Starting next season for the NHL 2026-27 campaign, the Golden Knights will introduce a $50-per-seat season ticket deal. On top of the $50-per-game ticket price, there’s T-Mobile Arena $3 facility improvement charge plus a one-time ticket deal charge of $30.

That means 44 VGK games times 50 bucks a ticket is $2,200 — plus $132 for the facility improvement charge and $30 for the service fee. The season ticket total is $2,362. Again, this starts for VGK Season 10 in 2026-27.

A season ticket holder with a seat in the 200 level told LVSportsBiz.com his ticket went from $59 a game for 2025-26 to $50 a game for 2026-27 in the VGK invoice he received today.

And for this season, season ticket holders will have a new option of not being required to buy playoff tickets.

In past seasons, season ticket holders were required to commit to buying playoff tickets. And if the season ticket holders agreed to a playoff ticket “Knight’s Vow,” they could buy their playoff tickets at a lower cost than if they bought them and resold them.

John Penhollow, the VGK president of business operations and new Chief Operating Officer Rich Wang, on the job for about two weeks, said the changes are in response to season ticket holders’ comments that they want more flexibility and control over their season ticket deals.

As for the new $50-per-seat season ticket deal that would land a fan in T-Mobile Arena’s 200 level, Wang said that initiative was designed to appeal to the “segment of the Nevada population that may not be able to” afford to pay for current season ticket deals. Wang said the “price points were not accessible” for some fans.

VGK season ticket holders are prohibited from selling more than 50 percent of their season tickets.

A season ticket holder said the email did not include a seating price chart. There was the invoice, though.
