Finally.
School's back in session, and hey if you're a student willing to skip classes (I know it's insane, but hear me out) you can get yourself some student tickets.
The Penguins expect attendance to be at an all time high this upcoming season. With a genuine run for the playoffs last year, and an honest rush for the cup this season, you're going to need fire marshalls on hand to assure the fire code isn't being broken.
According to the Pittsburgh Tribune
Even though sales of season tickets and partial plans have been brisk, the Penguins will withhold at least 200 tickets per game to devote exclusively to the popular student rush program.
In previous years, any student with a valid ID could get in line at Gate 8 on game day and purchase an unsold ticket for a set amount, which this season will be $20.
Of course, there is still 8 days before the sale, so student or not - you have to wait.
Finally, I'd just like to make a personal note here. My goal for this blog was simple: create a community around The Penguins, provide facts and try to prove or dispel rumors. In a few days, this blog is going to hit message boards, online communities and blog sites with the intent to increase traffic and take this site to an all new level. Your contributions are more than welcomed, they're encouraged. I hope you enjoy what I provide here at Pensburgh, and I hope in a few months we'll all be celebrating the cup's return to Pittsburgh!
