Minnesota Thunder News Release


ST. PAUL, Minn. (Wednesday, October 25, 2006) - Season tickets for the Minnesota Thunder's 2007 USL First Division season will go on sale Thursday, October 26 at 9 a.m. Any fan that purchases a 2007 season ticket package before Dec. 31 will receive the 2006 prices, as some ticket packages may raise on January 1, 2006. Season tickets can be purchased by visiting www.mnthunder.com or by calling Mark Lieblein at 651-917-0049.

At James Griffin Stadium in St. Paul, season ticket packages start as low as only $50 and over 900 people last season took advantage of the opportunity to see high level soccer in their own backyard.

"Our crowds keep swelling each season, and it's largely due to the season ticket holders that have supported us through the years," said Djorn Buchholz, Thunder general manager. "We want to be able to give our loyal fans, and even newcomers, the opportunity to secure their ticket package early and for the same price as they paid last year."

The Thunder's Field-Level seating includes 80 soft-seat chairs that are placed behind the sponsor field boards on the south side of the field, approximately 10 feet from the touchline. These seats are a first come first server basis item.

The Supporter ticket package, for the most passionate of fans, includes a commemorative Thunder scarf that is actually designed by the fans themselves.

"The Supporter's section is getting larger each year and provides an exciting atmosphere at every game," Buchholz said. "I anticipate this section continuing to grow and rival supporter's groups from across the country. If you're in for some singing, horn playing, and plenty of good chants, this is the ticket package for you."

The Thunder will continue to have a limited number of cushioned seat backs inside its VIP section. These seats will be included in all Platinum packages and will be available to those with VIP Reserved tickets for an additional fee.

Also available will be flexible ticket packages in bundles of 15 and seven tickets. These tickets are good for any regular season home match and can be used in any combination.

All full season ticket packages include an additional ticket to the Thunder's first US Open Cup match, a 2007 yearbook, an invite to the pre-season team reception, and a VIP discount card.
