Got word from the Kings on a couple of policies involving tickets and the NHL lockout in case games are actually cancelled, and it sure looks like things are moving in that direction.

A Kings spokesman said Monday they have suspended any current automatic payment plans for tickets. He also said for any ticket holders who want to wait out the lockout and let the team hold onto their initial payments, the Kings will provide 5 percent interest on payments calculated from the value of any cancelled games.

Also, for anyone who wishes to get an immediate refund on cancelled games, the Kings will do it and provide 1 percent interest on the principle paid. The interest will be calculated from the point at which a particular game is cancelled to the last day of the month of the cancelled game.
