Playoffs at the conclusion of each playoff round. This means no upfront payment<br />

for games that might not be played. You are charged only if the <strong>Capitals</strong> play a<br />

home game during that round. To qualify you must renew your plan for the <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong><br />

season by the renewal deadline of March 12, <strong>2010</strong>. The <strong>Capitals</strong> reserve the right<br />

to cancel your <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong> season ticket plan if you default on any Pay As We Play<br />

payment.<br />

Pay in Full for Rounds 1 through 4<br />

You may choose to purchase your seats for all four playoff rounds up front (16<br />

possible games). Refer to the seating diagram for pricing information. Any money<br />

from unplayed playoff games will be credited to your season ticket account for the<br />

<strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong> season on July 15. If you choose not to renew your <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong> season ticket,<br />

you can still purchase your seats for the playoffs using the pay in full for all four<br />

rounds option.

Frequently Asked Questions<br />

<strong>Renewal</strong>s and Stanley Cup Playoffs<br />

What if I do not wish to renew at this time, but would<br />

like to purchase <strong>2010</strong> Stanley Cup Playoff tickets?<br />

If you do not wish to renew your plan at this time, you must pay in full<br />

for your <strong>2010</strong> Stanley Cup Playoff tickets based on the season ticket<br />

holder discount. In order to participate in our Pay As We Play program,<br />

you must renew your season tickets for the <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong> season and make a<br />

payment through Power Pay, 50/50 or 100% now.<br />

Can I use my 2009-10 TicketMaster Ticket Exchange<br />

resale credits towards my playoff payments?<br />

No, any resale credit accrued by the resale of 2009-10 regular season<br />

tickets and <strong>2010</strong> playoffs can only be used towards the <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong> regular<br />

season. Resale credit for tickets sold prior to January 31, <strong>2010</strong> will be<br />

noted on your <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong> renewal invoice. Resale credit for tickets sold<br />

after January 31, <strong>2010</strong> will automatically be applied to your July 15<br />

payment for your <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong> season tickets.<br />

My Power Pay Plan does not finish until March <strong>2010</strong>. Will<br />

I have to make two payments in March, one payment for<br />

my 2009-10 tickets and also start paying for my <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong><br />

season tickets?<br />

Yes. There will be some overlap in the payment plan process. If you are<br />

signed up for the 2009-10 Power Pay plan your final payment is March<br />

15, <strong>2010</strong>. Once we receive your renewal and payment information for<br />

the <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong> tickets we will charge your credit card for that first payment<br />

additional 16-game playoff packages using Pay as We<br />

Play, as well as our regular seats?<br />

No. We will not have additional 16-game <strong>2010</strong> playoff packages<br />

available for purchase.<br />

Can I buy additional individual game playoff tickets<br />

through the <strong>Capitals</strong>?<br />

If there are additional playoff tickets available for individual games they<br />

will be made available to planholders via an online pre-sale. Due to very<br />

limited availability there is not a guarantee that we will have additional<br />

playoff tickets for purchase.<br />

When will my playoff tickets be mailed?<br />

Playoff tickets will be mailed to the address on your account via a<br />

designated mail carrier no earlier than April 1, <strong>2010</strong> but prior to the first<br />

playoff game. More details will follow as we approach the playoffs.<br />

What if I don’t want to purchase playoff tickets?<br />

We hope you will join us for the excitement of <strong>Capitals</strong> playoff hockey;<br />

however you may choose to only renew your <strong>Capitals</strong> account for the<br />

<strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong> season at this time.<br />

Can I use multiple cards for my Power Pay payments?<br />

No, we need one consistent credit card for payments.<br />

What happens if I miss a payment or my credit card is<br />

declined?<br />

If a problem arises concerning your payment, you will be contacted<br />

by the <strong>Washington</strong> <strong>Capitals</strong> to provide a valid credit card. Your online<br />

account manager privileges will be suspended until the payment is made<br />

and your tickets may be blocked. If you are unable to arrange for regular<br />

monthly installments, you will be removed from Power Pay and will need<br />

to pay your remaining balance in full to avoid cancellation of your season<br />

tickets.<br />

Who do I contact if there is a mistake with my charges<br />

or if I need to update my credit card information?<br />

Please contact your designated Guest Services Specialist directly, or the<br />

<strong>Washington</strong> <strong>Capitals</strong> Guest Services Department at (202) 266-2350 or<br />

Once I fi nd a cost-sharing partner,<br />

how do I handle group agreements,<br />

payments and ticket distribution?<br />

The Matcher Service is a tool which simply<br />

puts you in touch with other fans interested<br />

in sharing season tickets. The primary ticket<br />

holder is solely responsible for payment<br />

transactions and ticket distribution between<br />

all parties agreeing to share their tickets.<br />

How do I apply my resale credits<br />

from the rest of the season and the<br />

<strong>2010</strong> playoffs?<br />

Any resale credit received for remaining<br />

games and <strong>2010</strong> playoffs after January 31,<br />

<strong>2010</strong> will remain as credit on your season<br />

ticket account, but will not be applied to your<br />

<strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong> season ticket balance until the July<br />

15 Power Pay charge.<br />

Resale credit accrued from previous resales<br />

of your tickets on TicketMaster Ticket<br />

Exchange will be applied to your <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong><br />

ticket balance by January 31, <strong>2010</strong> and noted<br />

on your <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong> renewal invoice.<br />

sell?<br />

You will be notifi ed via email if your tickets do<br />

not sell before your indicated expiration date.<br />

process which will be refl ected in the listing<br />

price of the ticket. Additional fees may also<br />

include an authentication and ticketFast®<br />

delivery fee.<br />

Ticketmaster TicketExchange offers fans a<br />

legitimate and secure forum for buying and<br />

selling tickets online.<br />

The total integration of TicketExchange with<br />

Ticketmaster systems provides a seamless<br />

solution for overall fan satisfaction. Since<br />

only Ticketmaster tickets may be posted<br />

on TicketExchange, buyers are guaranteed<br />

authenticity and exact seat locations.<br />

is cancelled and a new one is issued,<br />

eliminating the possibility of counterfeiting.<br />

TicketFast ® enables immediate email delivery<br />

of purchased tickets, saving customers the<br />

time and trouble of coordinating transactions.<br />

TicketExchange also uses built-in pricing<br />

regulations based on the locations of the<br />

seller and the event in order to ensure<br />

compliance with state laws that set the<br />

maximum allowable resale price per ticket.<br />

Posting tickets is easy and<br />

secure – simply select<br />

the tickets you wish to<br />

sell, choose the selling<br />

price and the expiration<br />

date, and submit the listing.<br />

time is quick and easy.<br />

Please note that any<br />

fraudulent ticket activity<br />

related to the resale or<br />

ticket forwarding of your<br />

playoff tickets.<br />

Frequently Asked Questions<br />

Relocation and Additional <strong>Season</strong> Tickets<br />

How do I relocate my season tickets?<br />

We will host our <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong> Select-A-Seat relocation event at Verizon<br />

Center (Date TBD). You must renew your current seat location for the<br />

<strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong> season in order to receive an invitation to the Select-A-Seat<br />

event.<br />

How does Select-A-Seat work?<br />

In order to be fair to all our full season ticket holders, you will be<br />

assigned a time slot based upon the number of consecutive years<br />

you have been a full season ticket holder. The earliest time slots are<br />

reserved for those who have had full season tickets the longest. When<br />

you arrive at Verizon Center, we will have a brief introduction and then<br />

you’ll be invited into the seating areas of the arena. If you see a tagged<br />

seat location you would like to relocate to, please locate the nearest<br />

<strong>Capitals</strong> representative to assist you.<br />

What locations will be available at Select-A-Seat?<br />

Specific seat locations will not be available until the day of the event.<br />

Select-A-Seat inventory comes from seat locations owned by nonrenewing<br />

2009-10 full season ticket holders. Please note that we<br />

anticipate a very high renewal rate and available seat locations may be<br />

limited.<br />

I would like to add season tickets, how do I do that?<br />

At this time, we do not have any full season tickets available.
