Brandon, Manitoba -- With only a handful of days remaining before the Wheat Kings' 2008 Home Opener at Westman Commuications Group Place, Season Ticket sales were on the rise Tuesday as the Western Hockey League club inches closer to the 2,500 mark.

As of this afternoon, a total of 2,448 season ticket packages had been sold, including over one hundred on Tuesday alone, for what should be an exciting season of Wheat Kings' hockey.

To simplify the buying process this year, the Wheat Kings are again offering two price points - $299 for adults and $149 for youth (18 and under). By having the most affordable ticket prices in the WHL, fans can enjoy exciting Wheat Kings' hockey for $8.70 per game (based on adult prices).

The Wheat Kings, who finished second in the WHL's Eastern Division last season, are still hoping to get closer to their off-season goal to sell 3,000. During the 2007-08 campaign, the hockey club sold over 2,700 season tickets, which represented a club record.
