Winnipeg was given 3 weeks to sell 13,000 season tickets for our proposed NHL hockey team in order to secure their arrival. Season tickets are between $2000-6000 per seat and are a 3-5 year commitment, depending on the section, to show that we are committed to the team long term.
They sold out in 17 minutes. And there are 7000 people on the waiting list.
Go Jets Go! Man, I love this town :-) And yes, I will be one of the lucky ones there, cheering!
Wow! I hadn't heard that they sold out! Great news! Do you know if the name will stay Jets?
ReplyDeleteSo happy for Winnipeg! Welcome home, Jets!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment we are caught up in Canucks fever here in Greater Vancouver. Glad you guys are getting a team again. It is after all the Canadian sport!
ReplyDeleteI almost commented on the lost one, that You should've seen, what happened here, when Finland won on ice hockey... But the scale is still a bit different :D
ReplyDeleteThat's insane! So hockey is big there right?
ReplyDeleteHow many games do you get for that kind of money? I think the Jets can safely assume that they're going to get a lot of home town support!
Have you any idea how much fabric that would have got you instead?!
ReplyDeleteI don't think they will be called the jets though...that's just what I heard.
ReplyDeleteSo very awesome (and crazy) and....well, Canadian.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I'm a Texas girl who loves hockey... we have season tickets to the Stars and I've loved reading your posts on your new team.
