Payment Options<br />
Pay As We Play<br />
This season ticket renewal incentive allows you to pay for the <strong>2010</strong> Stanley Cup<br />
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 />
immediately. The second Power Pay date of the <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong> season will be<br />
May 15.<br />
If I share my account with someone, can we purchase<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 />
via e-mail at guestservices@washcaps.com.

Once I fi nd a cost-sharing partner,<br />
how do I handle group agreements,<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 />
What happens if my tickets do not<br />
sell?<br />
You will be notifi ed via email if your tickets do<br />
not sell before your indicated expiration date.<br />
Your listing will be automatically removed and<br />
your original tickets will still be valid for entry.<br />

the option of emailing your tickets to a friend<br />
via Ticket Forwarding (Additional forwarding<br />
fees may also include an authentication and<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 />

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.
