Seated Ticket Packages Available for 2009 MasterCard Memorial Cup
The members of the Organizing Committee are pleased to announce that seated ticket packages will be made available for the 2009 MasterCard Memorial Cup at a cost of $500 each. Ticket packages include a seat for all six round-robin games and tie breaker game (if necessary), semi-final, and championship final. The Canadian Hockey League (CHL) officials have confirmed that they can make available almost 500 seats that had been held in reserve. The Organizing Committee itself has added an additional 84 seats around the rink, bringing the total number of available ticket packages to 584. These additions will allow the Organizing Committee to better respond to the demand from fans from throughout Quebec and across Canada.

The tickets will be offered on a priority basis to people who are already on the waiting list. Thereafter, sales to the general public will begin on Wednesday, March 25th, at 6:00 p.m. Fans can obtain tickets at the Océanic box office or by calling 418-723-4444 or 1-800-463-4450. The tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
In an effort to provide the best possible access to this great event, the Organizing Committee has also decided to assign numbers to a portion of the standing-room-only (SRO) tickets ($350). The first row of SRO spaces completely encircling the Colisée will be numbered (approximately 250 spaces). Those who have already bought their SRO tickets will be able to either exchange them for seated tickets (by paying the difference) or to keep their SRO tickets, but with the assurance of obtaining a reserved SRO space. The remaining SRO tickets (after the first row) will not be numbered, and their price has been adjusted as a result. The Organizing Committee has reduced the price of these tickets to $250, tax included.
r
All of these actions are aimed at supporting the main objective of the Organizing Committee’s members, to offer access to this unique and memorable event to the greatest number of fans possible.
