The Sabres rescaled pricing at the arena from 15 to 30 price points to ensure that fans closer to the action pay more than those in the same section sitting farther away, the team confirmed to The Buffalo News. Ten of the price points will see a decrease from this season. That includes some seats in the 100 level.

"It’s important to start with the fact the whole building was rescaled and when we got advice from the National Hockey League and looked at markets across the league, best practices, we internally made the decision to use our analytic department to speak to us and give us the data back," Kevyn Adams, the Sabres' vice president of business administration, said. "That’s how we got here. I think the biggest part is now we have 30 different options for our fans and season ticket holders. We can find the right seat for everybody and we wanted to make sure we listened to our fans and gave them options. It’s consistent with what the rest of the league is doing and that’s an important part of this."
