As the result of the Caps’ success, my 14 year old daughter has become a rabid Caps fan. That’s where the future is, in youngsters who will be fans the rest of their lives. Also, I think it is great that hockey players are so accessible. It is a real treat to be able to take her to watch them up close at practice at Kettler.

One other thing: your media department deserves a lot of praise. The Caps’ web site is first rate, and Capitals Red Line Monday is a treat.

As fans we are grateful to you for bringing top notch professional sports to our region. You, your management staff and especially your team deserve all the recognition you are getting.

With 12 month interest free, for all levels, anyone should be able to afford tix. If you can’t, perhaps you shouldn’t be spending your evenings going to caps games, but maybe bettering your opportunities. Moreover, for STH, they always get a pre-sale opp for playoff tix.

All in, I think its a pretty fair offer.

GO CAPS!!!

I love going to games. How many have I been to this year? Just one. There are many tickets available on ticketexchange, but they are ripoffs. They are marked up so much! I think that the ticketexchange should be a place for people to give fans a chance to get to a game, not a place for people to be a**holes and charge people extra. Because ticketexchange is official, I think there should be limits. I mean, if they are season ticket holders, selling the tickets at face value would give them a profit!

DO NOT RAISE THE TICKET PRICES!!!!!

Seriously. I feel already betrayed enough as it is.
Why? Forward this to Gary Bettman:
The NHL WANTS to push away its fans. I don’t pay for tv. Subscribing to a cable or satellite service won’t give the NHL more money. But because Caps games are on CSN, I’m blacked out of gamecenter live. The games are NOT available in my area (I live in fairfax county). I can’t pick it up with an antenna (obviously). So the only way I can watch is if NBC shows the games (only 1 this year) or they are on yahoo. The stupidest part about this is that if I used gamecenter live, I would get the same exposure to the EXACT same ads I would if I watched on TV.

Thanks for all you’ve done in bringing this ream back. I’ve been going to games since I was little with my dad and I bought my own plan right before the lockout (right when I heard about the lockout actually, had to get my fill before hockey was gone.)

All I can say is I know you have bills to pay, but don’t raise the ticket prices too much in the future. I would hate to get priced out of something I love only to have a ticket broker be able to afford my seats.

Other than that we love what you’ve done and how much fun you’ve had doing it.

I don’t understand that concept at all. I have paid to watch this entire season and pledged my support to the team for 42 games and then get shutout of the playoffs?

Congratulations on reaching this pinnacle with the business side of the organization. I look forward to an exciting playoff run and many years of Rockin the Red at Verizon Center.

As an 11-game plan holder this year, I too am excited. But when told by the ticket office that I would have to order full season tickets for next year in order to get full playoff tickets this year, I said no thanks, in “tough economic times” it would not be prudent for me to commit to that. Then I was informed that I would have to prepay $1200 for 2 seats in the upper deck nose bleed sections for just half of the playoff games, with any unused balance applied to next year, I again said no thanks, cannot commit to that. With this much excitment around the team, these typical sports team draconian measures are not needed, and are not appreciated by at least these 2 fans. Fans that have attended an average of 10 games each year since the lockout.
