Windsor Spitfires News Release


Windsor, ON ‚¬" The Windsor Spitfires are gearing up for the playoffs and an unprecedented run at a third straight Memorial Cup title. With demand for Spitfires tickets at an all-time high and a growing waiting list for season tickets, current season ticket subscribers are encouraged to ‚¬Å“hang on to your seats ‚¬Â.

Last season, the Spitfires capped season ticket sales at 5,200 seats. Even with the growing demand, the team does not plan to increase the number of season tickets available for 2011-12.

‚¬Å“Single-game tickets are very important, ‚¬Â said Bob Boughner, President of the Windsor Spitfires. ‚¬ÂWe ‚¬â„¢re fortunate to have one of the strongest and most loyal season ticket bases in the CHL and we greatly appreciate that loyalty. But we have to ensure that our fans always have access to single-game tickets. ‚¬Â

Fans wishing to be next in line to purchase Spitfires season tickets can join the club ‚¬â„¢s ‚¬Å“Waiting in the Wings ‚¬Â program. A $50 deposit towards the season ticket price ‚¬" redeemable for two tickets to a Spitfires game ‚¬" gets them on the waiting list and ensures priority access to season tickets that become available. Members can also lock in ‚¬Å“Early Bird ‚¬Â discount pricing, and receive special offers for tickets, merchandise and other events throughout the season.

· Runway Tunnel Experience ‚¬" at every home game, ten season ticket holders and their guest will have the chance to ‚¬Å“high five ‚¬Â the Spitfires as they take to the ice
