I check the Penguins webpage everyday to see if the promotional schedule is posted and I face the same disappointment each day.
I've resorted to the fact that it won't be out in time to help me choose a 6-Pack Mini-Plan package; however, I haven't given up hope that it'll be out before tickets for individual games go on sale - my fingers will stay crossed until then.
When I sent an e-mail to the Pens ticket sales a few weeks back, I asked about it and they were very general and said that they "are hoping to release the promotional calendar within the next couple of weeks."
Then today I was browsing the LetsGoPens.com message boards and came across a post about the season tickets which mentioned the promotional schedule saying that the ticket rep said it hasn't been finalized yet because they "haven't found sponsors" for some promotions. The poster found it hard to believe and I do too! How many promotions were sponsored by Trib-Total Media or Dick's Sporting Goods last season? There weren't alot of sponsors, but a few main ones that sponsored several promotions.
I'm an avid collector -- not just of bobbleheads, but anything unique dealing with the Penguins (and you can't get much more unique than limited promotional items); so this has been a big disappointment to me because my husband and I usually choose the games based on which promotions we'd like to add to our collection.
AS A NOTE, I said the post was actually about season tickets -- for those of you who are lucky enough to be interested, they'll be sent out on September 10th!
