Help FILL THE HOUSE for Opening Night! (And, help a family too.)
Opening Night at XFNITY Arena is just one month away and the Silvertips know much of their best hockey is played before a packed out building in Everett, filled with loudest fans wearing green. But Oct. 10, the home opener against the Spokane Chiefs, takes on a whole new meaning of "fill the house." While tickets going fast, fans are asked to contribute in more ways than one.
Fill the House, supporting Housing Hope and presented by BECU, means your night out at XFINITY Arena also means a safe and warm night at home in for a family in need. Simply purchase a ticket for Opening Night - as low as $22 per seat* - and you get a free flat bill, "snapback" Silvertips hat (first 300 ticket orders). In addition, up to $7 per ticket will be donated by the Silvertips to Housing Hope (www.housinghope.com), providing comprehensive housing opportunities to support families, whether in need of emergency shelter, transitional housing, affordable rentals and unique homeownership programs.
*Upper level seats ($22) and lower level seats ($25) are available for a limited time and not available at the XFINITY Arena Box office.
