Saturday Rush supporters will receive a Free Rush Inaugural T-Shirt and a Rush decal with any game day ticket purchase. In addition, fans will receive 20% off all Rush merchandise with proof of ticket purchase.

"We were faced with a few additional delays this season given it is our Inaugural Season and we're building a brand new arena, but we are very pleased to be releasing game day tickets on Saturday," said General Manager Jason Rent. "There are many factors that go into play before we're able to release tickets, but we still have five weeks before our home opener and we're in good shape. We're anticipating a sellout for our home opener."

According to Rent, Rush has sold over 1700 season tickets in an arena that holds approximately 5200 seats. Approximately 3400 tickets will be on sale for the home opener on November 29 against Colorado Eagles.
