‘Mini-Packs, which go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, Aug. 23, give fans the opportunity to create their own ticket package composed of anywhere from five to 39 games. By purchasing a Mini-Pack this season, fans will receive all of their games at the box office price of a Tier 3 game.

As fans purchase tickets, the price of each individual game can rise or fall, but will never fall below season ticket prices. The pricing plan for the 2017-18 season includes seven Tier 1 games, 14 Tier 2 games and 19 Tier 3 games.’
