Tampa Bay Lightning first-round playoff tickets will only be sold to Florida residents.

According to the team’s Ticketmaster page: “Amalie Arena is located in Tampa, FL. Sales to this event will be restricted to residents of Florida. Residency will be based on credit card billing address. Orders by residents outside the selected area will be canceled without notice and refunds given.”

Tickets go on sale to the public Friday.

Also, fans that purchase tickets in specific areas of the arena will not be allowed to wear any logos of the opposing team.

“Chase Club and Lexus Lounge ticket holders – please note that for all 2015 NHL Playoff Games at Amalie Arena, only Tampa Bay Lightning team logos will be permitted in these areas. Fans wearing visiting team logos will be asked to remove them while in the Chase Club and Lexus Lounge areas.”
