Hello all. I have many dozens of free tickets up for offer for this weekends' games in Wheeling. With the Penguins away this weekend, Wheeling is only about an hours' drive from Pittsburgh and a great opportunity to come check out the Pens developmental team. If you have never been to Wheeling for a game (or would like to again for no charge!), it is a great time to do so.
Wheeling currently sits in 5th place in the ECHL's Eastern Conference and has qualified for the 2025 Kelly Cup Playoffs. This weekend features Philadelphia Flyers' farm team and rival, Reading Royals, as the Nailers look to ruin Reading's hopes to take the final playoff spot in our division.
Also, Penguins' goalie prospect Taylor Gauthier will likely start 2 of 3 games – he is the 2024 ECHL Goaltender of the Year award recipient and was just named the ECHL goaltender of the Week after last weekends' .977 SV% and .50 GAA against Cincinnati. It's a great time to see Taylor in action if you have not already!
Choose from either of these 3 games (all against Reading)
Friday April 4th at 7:10pm: Frosty Friday with $2 beer.
Saturday April 5th at 7:10pm: Wizards and Wands night featuring a free wand giveaway for all fans, many Harry Potter-themed activities, and postgame player autographs.
Sunday April 6th at 4:10pm: Fan Appreciation Night with "deals and giveaways for ALL fans!".
Basically: Just choose a game from above and comment here or DM me with which game you choose and how many tickets you need. You can also let me know where you prefer to sit (exact section, "Nailers shoot twice" end, handicap, on the glass, etc) and I will do my best to get you seats where you would prefer (though cannot make any guarantees due to the availabilities of each of these games).
I will be able to have the tickets left under your name (or the name of your choosing) for pickup at the box office on game day.
Let's Go Pens and Go Nailers!

I can’t take OP up on the offer this weekend, but I just want to encourage Pens fans to take up this offer!
I live in the wheeling area and have been to a handful of games this season already (I’d go to more if my kids were a little older!), Nailers games are a great time. Parking is cheap and convenient, the arena offers great views, and beer and snacks are pretty affordable. Wesbanco is genuinely a neat arena. I took my wife and two of my kids earlier this year; with tickets, parking, a beer, some snacks, and a team hat we were still under $100.
I’d imagine Saturday will be a great crowd, too.
Pens fans, take OP up on the offer and plan to make return trips! It’s an easy drive from the Pittsburgh area!
This is such a cool offer! How did you end up with so many tickets to give away?
I’d like a pair in the nailers shoot 2x end for Sunday if possible
DM sent!
Interested in April 5th! Nailers shoot twice side if possible
Dm sent! Your amazing for the offer, thank you friend
Go for it. Nailers games are awesome.
Edit: My ticket rep just informed me that these tickets will all need to be upper level seats, so please disregard what I mentioned about choosing seats. Sorry about that!
But for those who have not been, Wesbanco Arena is fairly small and there is not a bad seat in the house!
Still available?
I live in Fort Myers (go blades!) You’re a legend for doing this. ECHL games are so much fun!
If you still have two tickets available for Saturday, I would love to grab a pair. I’ve been meaning to make a trip to see the Nailers play. Would love 2x shoot seating if available.
Let me know!
I’m busy all weekend or I’d take you up on some. I will say however, that you’re a fucking G for doing this. Rad.
How awesome!
If you have any for Sunday left I’ll take 2.
I would love Sunday tickets if they’re still available!
