from the Washington Times,
The Washington Capitals’ run to the playoffs has created an unprecedented level of interest in new season tickets for the upcoming season.
The team is expected to boost its season-ticket base by as many as 5,000 seats this year, thanks in part to a sales campaign that has included monthly events at Verizon Center and an aggressive phone and direct mailing effort.
“It’s really going to be a great offseason for us,” Caps vice president of ticket sales Jim Van Stone said.
Hundreds of fans went to Verizon Center on Thursday for an open house featuring Caps defenseman Mike Green, and the team sold more than $100,000 in new season tickets during the event.
