Final Weekend Belongs to the Fans
April 11, 2013 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Peoria Rivermen News Release
Fan Appreciation Night will be extended into Fan Appreciation Weekend this year as the Rivermen mark down prices on everything from tickets to merchandise for their final two games. The team will also host a jersey auction and invite all fans down onto the ice for an autograph session with the team.
Tickets will be available for just $5 in the upper bowl and $10 in the lower bowl for their games on April 20 against Charlotte and April 21 against Milwaukee. All merchandise in the team store during those two games will be marked down to 50 percent off.
Following the game on April 20, the team's home white jerseys will be auctioned off in a live auction on the ice. Fans who place the winning bid will be able to come onto the ice to have their jersey signed and take a picture with their player.
After the finale on April 21, all fans in attendance will be invited down onto the ice for an autograph session with the entire team. Players will be seated at tables around the ice and fans will be able to take pictures, get autographs and spend some time on the ice.
There will also be hundreds of prizes given away throughout the weekend from both the team and our great sponsors. Plus there are plenty of surprises planned for both games as the Rivermen honor the greatest fans in hockey during the final homestand.
For more information or to purchase tickets call the Rivermen office at 309-676-1040.
