The Buffalo Sabres have revealed their individual ticket prices for the 2010-11 season and

seats in all levels will increase from $1-$7 per game.

The Sabres have capped season ticket sales at 14,825 and have announced a 98 percent

renewal rate from last season in spite of a 5 percent increase in those prices.

"Season-ticket holders have been a crucial part of the business success of the Buffalo

Sabres in recent years," Chief Operating Officer Dan DiPofi said. "We are extremely grateful

for their constant support and passion for our team. As the relationship between our fans and

the organization continues to grow, we look forward to celebrating the 40th anniversary of

Sabres hockey in Western New York with our community."

The team has also announced the game designations for its variable pricing schedule, which

lists ticket prices by the opponent, time of the year, day of the week, classic rivalries and

games against marquee players. Although the indiviudal prices have increased some, the Sabres

have cut back the number of high-end games on this year's schedule.

There are two platinum games, eight gold games, 18 silvers, nine bronzes and four values.

There were more top games last season as the designations were four platinum, 10 gold, 15

silver, nine bronze and three value.
