MWL1 Quad Cities River Bandits

Ryno Pack Highlights New Mini-Plan Ticket Packages

Quad Cities River Bandits News Release


The Quad Cities River Bandits revealed their 2008 season ticket packages on Monday, announcing a series of new options designed to better fit the interests of their fans, including two packages for fans of Hall of Famer and Peoria Chiefs manager Ryne Sandberg.

In order to accommodate 11 scheduled visits from Peoria to Modern Woodmen Park in 2008, the River Bandits have created a pair of mini-plan ticket packages for fans who want to see the 1984 National League MVP up close and personal. The Ryno Grand Slam (six games at $54) and the Ryno Gold Glove (five games at $45) packages include Lower Box Seat tickets behind the visiting dugout, giving fans of the 10-time all-star and nine-time gold glove winner the best seats in the house.

"There are a lot of Ryne Sandberg fans in the Quad Cities and it is not often that people can come and witness a Hall-of-Famer in person," said team owner Dave Heller. "We want to make it as easy as possible for our fans to see Ryne Sandberg while he is still in the Midwest League. This might be his last year here."

In addition to a standard full-season package, the River Bandits also introduced three new mini-plans to accommodate fans interested in weekend games, fireworks, or drink specials. The Weekender Plan includes all Friday and Saturday games as well as Opening Night and July 3. Also available is the Fireworks Plan that comes with all Friday games and July 3. Meanwhile, the Thirsty Thursday Plan includes tickets for all Thursday games when draft beer, wine, and fountain drinks are half price. These three plans can be purchased for Club Seats, Lower Box Seats, Upper Box Seats, and General Admission Seats.

"A lot of fans come to the ballpark for certain promotions, and we want to offer plans that accommodate the needs of as many people as possible," said Vice President Kirk Goodman. "If you love breathtaking fireworks displays, then the Fireworks Plan is going to be perfect for you. If you like to spend your weekends at the park but don't have much time during the week, then maybe the Weekender Plan is more up your alley. However you enjoy visiting Modern Woodmen Park, the River Bandits have developed something that works for any budget and anyone's schedule."

Also available for the 2008 season is a Box Seat Voucher Book. Similar to the Flex Plan that was offered in 2007, the voucher book comes with 10 undated ticket vouchers for just $75 that provides fans with busy schedules the ultimate in flexibility. These 10 vouchers can be redeemed in any quantity for any game with 24 hours notice, based on availability.

Already on sale at Modern Woodmen Park are the You Pick 10 Plan, in which fans can pick the 10 games they would like to attend with a money-back guarantee if the River Bandits win all 10 of the chosen games, and the Merchandise & Ticket Combo, in which fans can purchase one t-shirt, one hat, and four tickets to an April or May ballgame for just $49.99.
