SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Utah's new NHL franchise will begin selling season tickets for its inaugural 2024-25 season.
Tickets will be available for the public at large on Friday, the team announced.
The yet-to-be-named franchise, which was awarded to Salt Lake City in April, has already received deposits for more than 34,000 season tickets, though the team stated Utahns would take priority.
"To ensure that the local community has the first chance to experience the action, season tickets for the inaugural season will be first offered to deposit holders with a Utah zip code," according to the statement.
Deposits start at $200 at the Utah Hockey Club site.
Fans who placed deposits will be invited to an open house event at the Delta Center from June 4-6 to view seating options and pricing before the public sale begins.
"Due to high demand, not all fans who placed a deposit may receive an opportunity to purchase 2024-25 season tickets. In such cases, those fans will be given priority access to purchase mini-plans and single-game tickets prior to the general public. Additionally, deposit holders who choose to keep their deposit with the team will be given select benefits, including priority access to purchase season tickets as hockey seating capacity expands each season.
"The overwhelming support we received from fans who secured season ticket deposits highlights how passionate Utahns are for hockey and how excited they are for the NHL experience," said Chris Barney, the team's chief commercial officer, in a Tuesday statement.
Season ticket packages will include full-season options for all 42 preseason and regular season home games, half-season packages with 21 games, and select mini-plan options. Prices will start at $44 per game per seat, depending on location.
The Delta Center will seat up to 16,000 fans for hockey, with 10,000 seats featuring unobstructed views. Partial view tickets will be available for select games, starting at $19.
"Together, we will build a strong legacy for our NHL franchise that lasts for generations to come," Barney said.
Following the release of the NHL schedule this summer, single-game tickets will go on sale to the general public. The franchise also plans to launch a community ticket donation program, similar to one run by the NBA's Utah Jazz.
