Overview - 2026/27 Season

For the 2026/27 San Jose Sharks season , we have the usual four seats located in Section 201, Row 2 seats 11, 12, 13 and 14. Our Season tickets include 42 regular season games and 2 preseason games.

“Face Value” of tickets has changed from $76 each (in 2021-22) to $68 (in 2025/26) to $79 a ticket this season. There is also a $25 yearly renewal fee. The total cost of the tickets is $13,929 for the 2026/27 season. Our previous 3 year commitment has ended and the Sharks are only offering 1 year contracts at this time. The expectation is that we will see another ticket price increase next year.

The $79 ticket price is an average price. The Sharks have implemented tiered pricing and we will charge the tiered ticket price to everyone in the group. https://www.nhl.com/sharks/tickets/tickettrade explains the ticket tiers and also the ticket trade in program. The price break down for 2026/27 is as follows: PreSeason - 2 games - $40.00 a game, D tier - 9 games - $61.00 a game, C Tier - 10 games - $77.00, B tier - 8 games - $82.00 a game, A tier - 8 games - $89 a game, A+ tier - 7 games - $102.00 a game. The prices and tiers for each game are listed on our schedule. The tiers are also listed in the graphic provided by the Sharks.

Pricing for Penthouse Lounge tickets (which includes food and drink) will be available soon. We can either purchase Penthouse Lounge Tickets or Trade in other tickets for Penthouse Lounge seats

Ticket Accounts and Payment

For the 2026/27 season, we will continue the established practice of having the managing partners (Monica and Paul Rank) pay for the tickets on a monthly basis and having each participant pay Monica and Paul for their tickets. As mentioned above, we will be charging the tiered ticket price for every game.

Pre-season Games, Ticket Exchange and Additional Tickets

In 2026/27, the Sharks will allow us to trade in unlimited pre-season (and regular season) tickets for credit for regular season games. This perk should continue for at least a few years. Due to the ticket exchange program, we will no longer subsidize the price of pre-season games and we will charge the tiered ticket pricing (and probably trade in the pre-season games).

Only the main account holder will be able to place the orders for the replacement game tickets or seat upgrades. Once the replacement tickets/upgrades are purchased, they will be digitally transferred to the correct account. Details for the Ticket Exchange program are available at https://www.nhl.com/sharks/tickets/tickettrade. If you want to trade in any tickets, please let Paul and Monica know and we will process your trade. Paul and Monica can also work with you via Zoom or on the phone to select the tickets that you want. Please note that trades require 48 hour notice, but exceptions can be made.

Additional Tickets at Season Ticket Holder Price

We are also able to purchase tickets for any game at the season ticket holder price. This includes the Penthouse Lounge and the (former BMW) Lounge. If you want to purchase additional tickets, please let Paul and Monica know and we will obtain the tickets that you want.

Ticket Allocation and Distribution

We will continue to use the online/remote ticket allocation process that we started in 2021/22.

Ticket Allocation

Here is the process we will follow in 2026/27:

The hope is that this system will allow everyone more time to think about the games that they can attend when their top game picks are already taken. It will also allow everyone to make their own picks.

Franchise Game

In 2026/27 we will use the same Franchise Game process as we did in past seasons:

Ticket Distribution

In 2026/27 the Sharks will place all the tickets in the main ticketholder account and they will then be transferred to the correct accounts.

Playoffs

We will follow the same process as last year when the Sharks missed the playoffs by a few games. The process for 2025/26 is outlined here. Your number of playoff pairs will be based on your 2026/27 regular season allotment. For every 2.75 pairs of regular season tickets, you will receive 1 pair of playoff tickets.

The Sharks would bill the Managing Partner for the tickets. Individual members would then pay the managing partner for the playoff tickets they receive. The process here will be updated for 2026/27.

Communications

This website, https://sharks.opurt.com/, will be used for the group guidelines and the yearly ticket schedule/allocation.
