If the Rangers do miss the playoffs for the first time in eight years, season-ticket holders will not pay the price.
The Post has learned and confirmed that the Garden will not increase prices for 2018-19 season subscriptions if the Blueshirts fail to qualify for the first time since 2010.
Renewal notices were sent early last week to subscribers, who were notified of a new 11-month payment-plan option beginning next month. The Garden has given ticket holders the right to cancel their subscriptions if prices increase for 2018-19. We now know, however, that an increase could only go into effect if the Blueshirts qualify for the postseason.
The Rangers have won two straight following last Thursday’s press conference and letter to season subscribers in which general manager Jeff Gorton and president Glen Sather declared the organization’s trade-deadline intent to focus on the future, if even at the expense of this year’s team, and thus have moved to within two points of the conference’s final wild-card spot with three teams to leapfrog in order to get there.
