From the team:

The Tampa Bay Lightning  announced that 10-packs for the 2009-10 season will go on sale tomorrow, Aug. 7.  There are three different packages for fans to choose from with each one starting at $79, the equivalent of $7.90 per game.

“Our mini-plans are the perfect way for fans who can not commit to a full or half season package to still follow the team in 2009-10,” Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing Brad Lott said. “This year’s schedule has allowed us to put together some great packages with some outstanding games at an affordable price.  We strongly encourage fans to take advantage of our aggressive pricing and unmatched list of benefits.”

The three plans to choose from are the Big Game Plan, the Weekend Plan and the Southeast Division Plan. The Big Game Plan features the Lightning’s home opener on Oct. 8 against the New Jersey Devils as well as an afternoon matchup against the Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins on Jan. 2.  The Weekend Plan features seven games on Saturdays, one on a Sunday and two on Fridays, including games against the Penguins, Washington Capitals and Florida Panthers. The Southeast Division plan focuses on matchups with the Lightning’s division rivals, including two against Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals.

In addition to receiving substantial discounts off box office prices, 10-pack plan holders enjoy pre-sale opportunities for other St. Pete Times Forum events, opportunity to purchase playoff tickets before the general public, invitations to Lightning parties and events, discounts on Lightning merchandise, and more!
