A dog pack, which includes one human and one dog ticket, costs just $25, while each additional human ticket costs $15 per person. In addition, fans are encouraged to visit the ‘Doggapalooza’ area just outside the South West corner of the concourse of KeyArena, where there will be giveaways and promotions from Urban Animal, Lagunitas Brewing Company and K9 Natural. The Seattle Humane Society and Old Dog Haven will also be onside, showcasing tail-waggers for adoption, as well as Urban Animal’s ‘Ask the Vet’ station, where fans can present questions regarding animal health and more.

All dogs and their owners will be required to check-in at the Paws in the Paint entrance, which will be located at the West Entrance of KeyArena.
