Game Code of Conduct

The following sets forth the code of conduct by which all Ticket Holders must comply.

Fan Behavior

PPG Paints Arena intends to provide a safe, comfortable, and fan-friendly atmosphere for all of our guests. Consequently, the Pittsburgh Penguins strictly prohibit and will not tolerate certain behavior, including, but not limited to, the following, which may be cause for ejection, loss of season ticket privileges, and/or arrest and prosecution:

1. unruly, offensive, inappropriate, or hostile behavior that interferes with the ability of others to enjoy the event;
2. foul or abusive language or gestures;
3. the appearance of intoxication;
4. behavior interfering with the progress of the event;
5. behavior causing property damage;
6. any attempt to gain, provide, or permit unauthorized admission on cancelled tickets, de-activated tickets, or otherwise, or engagement in any other fraudulent activity or scheme with respect to tickets, admissions, or any good or service made available at the PPG Paints Arena; and
7. any other violation of the rules, policies, or directives of the Pittsburgh Penguins, the PPG Paints Arena and their management.

Patrons may be ejected without warning if deemed necessary for the safety of other individuals. Repeated instances of unacceptable behavior by you or other patrons using your tickets shall be grounds for revocation of a season ticket plan.

Hockey Etiquette

As a show of hockey etiquette, and as a courtesy to others, we ask that you wait until there is a stoppage of play before leaving or returning to your seat. Also, please refrain from leaning forward, as it may obstruct the view of others seated behind you.

For the comfort and safety of your fellow fans, please keep aisles clear. Standing behind the last row of seats is prohibited unless designated by a Standing Room Only ticket.
