OPENING NIGHT: 5 DAYS AWAY!
The night you've been waiting for is finally here. Opening Night at XFINITY Arena is this Saturday, taking on a whole new meaning of "fill the house." While tickets are going fast, fans are asked to contribute in more ways than one.
"Fill the House" Night, for the home opener, is presented by BECU at XFINITY Arena and means a safe and warm night at home for a family in need. Simply purchase a ticket for Opening Night - as low as $22 per seat* - and you get a free flat bill, "snapback" Silvertips hat (first 300 ticket orders). In addition, up to $7 per ticket will be donated by the Silvertips to Housing Hope (www.housinghope.org), providing comprehensive housing opportunities to support families, whether in need of emergency shelter, transitional housing, affordable rentals, and unique homeownership programs.
*Upper level seats and lower level seats ($25) are available for a limited time and not available at the XFINITY Arena Box office.
COME MEET YOUR FAVORITE SILVERTIPS: OCT. 8
Silvertips season ticket holders for the 2015-16 season are invited to a special Meet-And-Greet event at XFINITY Arena, this Thursday - and it doesn't happen often. Season Ticket Holders can take advantage of on-demand and up-close access to the entire Silvertips team, coaching staff, and broadcasters for autographs and photos. It's open from 6:00-7:30pm, and it's a way for us to say thank you for your loyalty!
All fans attending are asked to enter XFINITY Arena through the venue's main entrance, located at the corner of Hewitt and Oakes.
FAMILY FUN DAY: SUNDAY, OCT. 11 VS. PRINCE ALBERT
The action at XFINITY Arena doesn't go silent after Opening Night. The Prince Albert Raiders make their only appearance in Everett this season on Sunday, starting at 4:05 p.m. For the first of four Sunday games this season, ideal for the family schedule, tickets remain on sale through the XFINITY Arena box office, by phone at 425-252-5100, or online. The meeting will be the first in Everett since Feb. 26, 2014 in a Silvertips 5-1 victory.
HELP US, SNOHOMISH COUNTY "PINK THE RINK"
Pink the Rink - the staple of Silvertips theme nights - returns Saturday, Oct. 24 (7:05pm) and we're working with our partners at the Providence General Foundation and the Safeway Foundation on another challenge to raise money for the local fight against breast cancer. Just simply purchasing your game tickets goes a long way in the fight against breast cancer. Up to a $7 donation per ticket goes to the Pink the Rink fund, and you won't be charged with extra fees when purchasing at this link.
Purchase a player signed pink puck - available beginning this Saturday - at the Silvertips Team Store, Front Office, and Guest Services during game night for just $20. Each purchase triggers a $15 donation to the Comprehensive Breast Center, while you get to select your favorite Silvertips to autograph your new puck.
