The renewal letter from the team came out on Tuesday:
The ticket prices have been released on the website. A cursory look indicates that the base prices are flat but they increased because of the inclusion of 6.75% sales tax. My mezzanine seats went from $46 to $49. First row went from $160 to $171, etc. There are a couple of twists though. They've introduced something called "Premium Price". I can't find an indication on the website for what it is, but the prices on those are astronomical. For example, the first row season ticket price is $171, standard price is $374, premium price is $470. They've introduced the top 8 row prices all the way around the lower bowl where last year it was limited to the end zones. There is also a preferred section in the lower bowl end zones but no indication on how many rows that encompasses. So for the south end zone (the shoot twice end), tickets are $70 for preferred, $61 for normal and $52 for top 8 and $63, $55 and $47 in the north end. The balcony doesn't exist any more, it's called the terrace now.
The Carolina Hurricanes look forward to welcoming fans back to PNC Arena this Friday when the team returns for its first home game in nearly a month. In the meantime, Season Ticket Holders can be on the lookout for their electronic renewal package to arrive via email this week.
The email you'll be receiving will provide you with access to your customized renewal
e-brochure featuring details regarding your playoff and 2014-15 season ticket renewal opportunities and benefits.
While we will also be sending printed playoff and season ticket renewal invoices by mail this week, please note the printed invoices are only for those wishing to pay for their renewal by check and will only be accompanied by a business reply envelope. We ask that all STHs refer to their personalized e-brochure for details regarding renewal benefits and options and that those interested in taking advantage of credit card payment plan options do so online via their renewal e-brochure.
We do wish to make you aware that your paper invoice will feature verbiage indicating that the 2014-15 season food and beverage credit will be based on your ticket renewal which incorrectly denotes that the calculation of your credit will exclude the amount apportioned to the new NC 6.75% sales tax. The new 6.75% sales tax will be included in your season ticket price, and your 2014-15 food and beverage credit will be calculated as a percentage of your season ticket price in its entirety.
If questions come up or if we can be of any assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us by calling 1-866-NHL-CANEs (1-866-645-2263) or emailing [email protected].
