"Each year, we strive to enhance our world-class fan experience," said Lightning CEO Steve Griggs. "Through survey data and fan feedback, we decided to hold concession prices, with continued discounts for Bolt for Life members on top of that. Our fan-friendly pre-game pricing on Ford Thunder Alley invites Bolts Nation to arrive early and enjoy the vibrant Water Street neighborhood. We’re excited to bring these upgrades and programs to life, ensuring everyone who visits AMALIE Arena feels the positive impact."

Beginning with the plaza happy hour on all gamedays, fans will have the opportunity to enjoy special pricing on beverages and snacks, including $2.50 water, soda and peanuts, $5 12-ounce canned beers and seltzers, $12 single cocktails and $22 double cocktails.
