2013 MASTERCARD MEMORIAL CUP TICKET PACKAGES

Press Release

SASKATOON, SK – The ticket package pricing and on-sale dates for the 2013 MasterCard Memorial Cup have been released.

The package prices are broken down into six different categories ranging from $95 to $595, plus GST and applicable service fees. Those packages include the entire tournament, which will cover a minimum of eight games.

“We feel that these prices will give everyone an opportunity to come out and attend this world class event”, said 2013 MasterCard Memorial Cup Host Committee Co-Chair Jack Brodksy.

“That spread in prices from $95 to $595 will allow anybody in the city and the surrounding area to come out to these games.”

Saskatoon Blades season ticket holders who purchase 2012-2013 season seats before August 31, 2012 will have the first chance to reserve their same seats for the 2013 MasterCard Memorial Cup.

Those same season ticket holders will also be offered a chance to buy additional MasterCard Memorial Cup ticket packages (up to the number of season seats they hold) once all Blades season seats and Blades sponsor seats have been spoken for (so long as 2,000 packages remain for public sale).

“The 2013 MasterCard Memorial Cup is a Canadian Hockey League event. It’s truly the tournament of champions for junior hockey and because of that, we just felt that junior hockey fans deserved the first chance at ticket packages”, added Brodsky.

Given that season seats for the 2012-2013 year are not on sale to the general public until the spring of 2012, the best way to get the seats you want is to buy those seats for the remainder of this season.

Despite the fact that Saskatoon Blades season ticket holders will get the first chance at tickets and reserving their same seat, every single level of hockey fan has been thought of in this ticket plan.

A pricing breakdown and ticket release dates can be found on the next page or online at www.saskatoonblades.com.
