UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - As Pegula Ice Arena gets set to open its doors in its fourth season of action, the Penn State men's ice hockey program announced dates for single-game tickets, including the NHL preseason tilt and the International Game, as well as student season ticket sales earlier on Friday morning.

SINGLE-GAME SALE
Men's hockey season ticket holders and members of the Nittany Lion Club will have an exclusive pre-sale for single game tickets beginning at 10 a.m. on Thursday, August 4 and running through Monday, August 8. Season ticket holders and Nittany Lion Club members will receive an email the morning of August 4 containing a promo code to purchase. If tickets remain, a public single-game sale will begin Tuesday, August 9 at 10 a.m.
Single-game tickets for the 2016-17 home slate will be available for purchase online at TicketMaster.com and by calling 1-800-NITTANY (8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.) or by visiting the Bryce Jordan Center Ticket Office (9:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m.). Single-game tickets range from $12 to $60 each. Standing-room only tickets are available over the phone or at the BJC Ticket Office.
STUDENT SEASON TICKETS
A 16-game student-ticket package will go on sale Thursday, September 8 at 7 a.m. The tickets will be sold exclusively online through TicketMaster.com for $143 (less than $9 per game). All regular-season home games are included in the package except for the November 18-19 series against Arizona State and the March 3-4 series versus Wisconsin due to University breaks. Additional information about the student season ticket sale can be found at GoPSUsports.com/StudentCentral.
Students that purchase season tickets will have the opportunity to add-on a student ticket for the NHL game for $25 during the September 8th sale. Students that purchase the NHL game during the season ticket sale will receive a student ticket for the International Game at no additional cost. An additional sale will occur at a date to be determined after September 8th for students wishing to purchase just the NHL or International game, should any tickets remain.
Students wishing to purchase tickets for the Arizona State or Wisconsin series may do so on August 9 when tickets go on sale to the public, subject to availability. Tickets will be assigned physical seat locations among other public buyers.
For the third consecutive year, the Nittany Lion faithful renewed their season tickets at 95 percent following the first 20-win season in program history. Penn State played in front of the largest capacity crowds in the nation as Pegula was packed to 105.4 percent of capacity for the 2015-16 season securing a 12-5-1 record on home ice.
