Chirps from Center Ice

Here’s the yearly look at what a center ice ticket will cost you for one season in the AHL. I’m going in alphabetical order this year. The Canadian teams are presented as is, figure out the conversion rate to the U.S. Dollar if you want to take it that far.

Here you go:

Abbotsford – $1,184

Adirondack – $790

Albany – $630

Binghamton – $555

Bridgeport – $1,026

Charlotte – $896

Chicago – $720 (38 games for the price of 30, with a bunch of cool benefits)

Connecticut – $898.70

Grand Rapids – $836

Hamilton – $570

Hershey – $645

Houston – $1,026

Lake Erie – $950

Manchester – $760

Milwaukee – $690

Norfolk – $600

Oklahoma City – $1,100

Peoria – $779

Portland – $570

Providence – $580

Rochester – $456 (existing season ticket holders get them for $418)

Rockford – $680

San Antonio – $779

Springfield – $684

St. John’s – $1,156.34

Wilkes-Barre’s tickets are a little pricey when compared to the rest of the league collectively and $155 more than any other team in the East Division. The Penguins will tell you that you get to park for free, and that is figured into the overall price of the ticket. I’d still like to get more of a breakdown as to why they are as high as they are compared to the other division teams and the AHL as a whole. If I ever do, I’ll have a follow-up here on the blog.
