A look through the eyes of a Pittsburgh Penguins season-ticket holder

No, this isn't an autobiographical piece. In fact, it's more of those "wish it were me" sort of posts.

In all of my infinite daily searches for anything related to or surrounding the Pittsburgh Penguins, I came across a Pens fan's personal live journal in which he provides some pictures of the season ticket package that the Penguins send out to fans.

The sheer fact he titled it "Christmas Morning" should be enough to depict his excitement.

I'd love to copy and import the pics here, but since I'm not one to steal without permission, I'd advise you all to check out this post here and see the level of class the organization exudes towards its fan base.

Jealous much? Yeah, you could say so. And frankly his $925 investment seems awfully cheap to me.

But just wait till the new arena - those things will skyrocket. If you needed any further evidence look at The Prudential Center in Newark (not like they can really sell tickets anyway), or even baseball stadium's like the new Yankee Stadium and Citi Bank Park (Mets). Those ticks are all taking a hike.

At least the Penguins aren't instilling PSLs (personal seat licenses) a la the NFL.

That does seem cheap.

Only $925 for a season of tickets is great!

My parents’ season tickets for mid-upper bowl in the corner at Joe Louis Arena comes to $4500 or so before the playoffs.

And it sure looks like the Pens give their ticketholders some nice stuff along with the tix!

Small price to pay for victory though, huh? ;-)

I can’t speak with any kind of insider knowledge, but I wouldn’t be surprised if season tix in the new arena were up in the $2K range. Who knows though? Pittsburgh has always been good to its fans.
