2010 MasterCard Memorial Cup Dates to Remember
With the start of the 2009 Western Hockey League playoffs less than two weeks away, the Brandon Wheat Kings have unveiled a list of critical dates for fans to consider when making their plans for the 2010 MasterCard Memorial Cup.
r
The WHL club has announced that all 2009-2010 Season Ticket holders will receive a MasterCard Memorial Cup purchase option, in conjunction with their renewal by June 5th. Those that renew their season tickets for next year will then have until October 15th to purchase their 2010 MasterCard Memorial Cup ticket package, which will be sold for $399 plus GST.
r
The Wheat Kings sold a franchise record 2,780 season tickets this past season. Because the club needs to provide the CHL with 1,800 seats for this prestigious event, only the first 3,302 season ticket holders will be guaranteed their seat for the 2010 MasterCard Memorial Cup.
r
In the event that over 3,302 season tickets are sold for next season, those fans will be added to a waiting list in the event that the CHL returns a block of tickets to the Local Organizing Committee in March / April of next year.
r
For the first time in franchise history, the Wheat Kings have earned the right to play host to the MasterCard Memorial Cup. This will also mark the first time that Manitoba has hosted this Tournament and it comes during the province’s 140th Anniversary celebrations.
