Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs News Release


BOSSIER CITY, LA - The Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs of the Central Hockey League today announced ticket plans and pricing for the 2009-2010 season. Nearly all Mudbugs ticket prices have been lowered for next season and we've got a number of new ticket plans designed to best fit your budget, lifestyle and schedule.

"It is a priority for this organization to create options that fit our fans' budgets and lifestyles," said Mudbugs President & General Manager Ray Delia. "By offering financing options, rolling back pricing, heightening our service detail and providing increased value to our ticket holders, we hope to create an environment where each relationship between our organization and our fans is a win-win."

We have modified our season ticket plans for next year to include greater value at a lower price! In 2009-10, buying Mudbugs season tickets will get you all 32 regular season home game PLUS the first two Mudbugs' home playoffs games included in the package. Even with the two extra games for added convenience, season tickets will cost less per game next season than they did in 2008-09.

We have also improved our extensive list of season ticket holder benefits for next season. 2009-10 season ticket holders will enjoy an exclusive early entrance to games, private viewing of team practices, and an exclusive Mudbugs replica practice jersey for paying in full by the early bird deadline of July 10 - just to name a few of the new items for next year. Of course the outstanding benefits from years past will also still apply, such as a Swamp Shack discount for team merchandise, a private pre-season "meet the team" event and "bring-a-friend" coupons.

If full season tickets aren't the best option for your busy schedule, we've got a progressive new package called "E-Tickets on Demand" that allows you total flexibility to choose which games you want to attend. E-Tickets on Demand allow you to buy an allotment of tickets and then tell us when and how you want to use them! All you have to do is notify your Mudbugs Account Manager in advance of the game you will be attending and specify how many of your tickets you want to use and they will be waiting for you at will call on game night. Packages come in quantities of 75 to 150 in increments of 25 and are available in Gold and Bronze seating levels. E-Tickets on Demand are also easy to fit into your budget, with six monthly payments that are spaced out over the course of the CHL season.

The Mudbugs are pleased to partner with Carter Federal Credit Union this season to offer new financing options for your tickets. Next season, Carter Federal Credit Union will offer 12-month financing at a low 2.99% APR for your Mudbugs ticket plan of at least $750.00. Let Carter Federal help you manage your finances and purchasing your Mudbugs ticket plan will be easier than ever before. We have also extended our traditional season ticket payment plan from two to three payments to offer further economic relief to our fans.

"Our season ticket holders are integral to the success of our organization, and we anticipate that these initiatives will allow us to satisfy our current fans and further increase our ticket base," Delia said.

Season ticket holders will be eligible to participate in our new "Referral Rewards Program", where you can earn money when your friends and family members purchase a Mudbugs ticket plan. If you refer someone to purchase season tickets or E-Tickets on Demand for next season, you'll be rewarded with $1.00 for every seat they purchase! For example, if you refer a friend who purchases two full season tickets prior to the 2009-2010 season, you will earn $68.00 in Referral Rewards money! In order to be eligible for the Referral Rewards Program, you must have renewed your own Mudbugs season ticket plan for 2009-2010. People being referred must not have purchased a Mudbugs ticket plan over the past two seasons (2008-09 or 2007-08) and must have paid for their new plan in full in order for you to receive your Referral Rewards.

The Mudbugs are also introducing a brand new "Inner Circle Club" for next season, which will create an exciting new game experience for fans. The Inner Circle Club (which is currently known as platinum seating) will undergo major changes and come with extensive value-added benefits to include complimentary food and non-alcoholic beverages available only to Row A patrons.
