Nashville, Tenn. (April 11, 2011) – The Nashville Predators will host Games Three and Four of their 2011 Western Conference Quarterfinals series with the Anaheim Ducks, presented locally by Fifth Third Bank, starting next week at Bridgestone Arena with Game Three, presented by Land Rover Nashville, on Sunday, April 17 at 5 p.m., Game Four, presented by Tennessee Lottery, scheduled for Wednesday, April 20 at 7:30 p.m. and Game Six, presented by Fifth Third Bank, on Wednesday, April 24 (if necessary). Doors will open two hours prior to each contest with plaza parties taking place three hours prior to faceoff (weather permitting).

All fans in attendance at Game Three will receive Rally Towels courtesy of Land Rover Nashville. Attendees of Game Four will receive Rally Towels courtesy of Tennessee Lottery. Individual tickets are available for all possible first-round games and can be purchased at nashvillepredators.com, by calling 615-770-PUCK (7825), stopping by the Bridgestone Arena box office, all Ticketmaster outlets or by visiting ticketmaster.com. Ticket prices start as low as $26 per game. For the first time, the Predators will utilize value-based pricing; meaning that prices may increase as ticket inventory gets reduced. To that end, Lexus Inner Circle seats (rows one and two) have adjusted up in price by $10 per seat due to high demand. Tickets for all future rounds of the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs will go on sale upon the completion of each round.

“After punching our ticket for our sixth playoff appearance in the past seven seasons, now is the time we are asking all residents of Smashville to ‘Stand With Us,’” Nashville Predators Chief Executive Officer Jeff Cogen said. “There’s nothing more thrilling than a live Stanley Cup Playoff game and nothing gets our players more excited than the electricity of our fans at Bridgestone Arena on their feet and cheering. With team MVP Pekka Rinne in net and All-Stars Shea Weber and Ryan Suter holding down the blue line, this team is poised to make a deep playoff run. You won’t want to miss a minute of this action.”
