Among the several lockout-induced tasks needing completion before the Penguins‘ Jan. 23 home opener, none looms larger than getting fans their tickets. The printing started Friday night ahead of Saturday‘s official approval of the schedule.
“There was no other way to get it done,” Peart said.
The Penguins have about 16,000 full and partial season-ticket holders, with another 2,000 tickets set aside for single games.
The club not only mails its tickets, but also prints them, a formidable task considering 11 of the 24 home dates left after the lockout were rescheduled.
Season tickets for the full schedule and the two “mini” plans went out in September. But even though most of the dates remained the same, the club printed an entirely new batch of tickets to avoid confusion.
The approximately 64,000 tickets for the first four home games went out first, which meant considerable printing and envelope-stuffing. So many tickets, so little time.
“It was very labor intensive,” Peart said.
“You‘d typically like to have a couple of weeks instead of three days,” said Chad Slencak, the Penguins‘ vice president of ticket sales. “It was pretty much all hands on deck.”
Slecak said the tickets should arrive by the end of the week.
