Penguins tickets are in high demand — but not for the regular season.
The draw? The return of beloved former goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.
On Friday, the Penguins announced they signed Fleury, 40, one of the most beloved figures in franchise history, to a professional tryout contract.
He formally retired after last season. Fleury is scheduled to practice with the Penguins Sept. 26 and participate in the Sept. 27 preseason game. This way, Fleury will be able to retire with the Penguins.
To attend the preseason game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sept. 27 at PPG Paints Arena, tickets are starting at $235 and ranging up to $2,975 a pop on Ticketmaster.
Tickets for all other preseason games start in the $20 to $25 range, according to the ticket purchasing site — including the Sept. 26 game the night before against the Detroit Red Wings.
Welcome home, Flower. The black and gold missed you ????????

Overall, Fleury has the second-most goaltending wins in NHL history, having posted a career mark of 575-339-97 over 21 seasons.
The team’s No. 1 overall draft pick in 2003, Fleury helped the Penguins win Stanley Cup championships in 2009, ‘16 and ‘17. In 13 seasons with the Penguins, Fleury set career franchise goalie records for games played (691), wins (375) and shutouts (44).
