More on season-ticket holders
Some stuff that didn't make it into today's story includes:
-- The Kings will have a draft party at the new Nokia Theatre, across from Staples.
-- A third jersey will be introduced in November, one that incorporates several looks from the past, and all season-ticket holders will receive a jersey.
-- The Kings will now charge more (roughly $2 more per game) for tickets behind the goal where the Kings shoot twice.
-- There will be a new website for season-ticket holders, one that will be somewhat interactive. Ask a question of a front-office member and it might be answered on the website (hmmm, that sounds familiar...)
I'll start transcribing all the quotes today. There's some very interesting stuff...

WTF??? I sit directly behind the net where the Kings attack twice (section 116).
So the Kings are going to penalize me for having such good seats!
I won't say exactly what I think about this 'innovative plan'. I'll save my thoughts for my season ticket rep.
I think there's a typo in your headline, Rich...
MORON SEASON TICKET HOLDERS
sounds about right.
why would they introduce it in november? i would imagine the season would already start by then...
This (list) is all B.S.
Something has to be done in order to afford some of these rediculous contracts.
-Cloutier's $3.1 Mil
-Handzus's $4 Mil
-Blake's $6 Mil
-McCauleys $2 Mil
-Nagy's $3.75 Mil
-Lubo's $5 Mil next season
-Calder's $2.75 Mil
I'm glad this GM is handling my finances.
Am I stupid enough to pay these higher prices?
YUP.
Thanks alot Deno.
Hmmmmm....a 3rd jersey that incorporates several looks from the past. Maybe a black, silver and white jersey, with the old crown on it (a little updated of course, but not too much), and with the shield crest on the shoulders?
Where can we see the price break down per section?
i do hope the 3rd kit is a throwback to the classic black chevron jerseys which reminds me of the glory days from the 90s.
I cant believe Im going to pay more money for DL's bad signings.
We should not pay more, DL should take a pay cut !!
yup the silver and black modernized a bit. Get rid of purple its never worked for us.
RICH LETS START SOMETHIN TO BRING BACK THE OLD JERSEYS....FULL TIME!!!!
Perhaps the organization could save some coin next year and not purchase a blimp to drop gift cards or the payroll of ice girls.
absolutely... the kings need to bring back the silver, black and white. the purple makes me cringe everytime i see it
i like the idea of the old crown on black... modernized of course.
