Wheat Kings Unveil Season Ticket Pricing
by: Bruce Luebke, Sports Director, 880 CKLQ/94.7 STAR-FM
The Brandon Wheat Kings unveiled their ticket pricing for next season Wednesday.
After two seasons of offering season tickets for $250, the Wheat Kings will have a modest increase this year to $299.
'These prices just don't happen in other places. Even at $299, we're at least 100 dollars less than what it costs to buy a season ticket in any of the other markets in our league,' says Brandon General Manager Kelly McCrimmon, 'Philosophically, we're lined up with where we were the last two seasons and it should be something that people still find very affordable.'
Since introducing their new season ticket price two years ago, the Wheat Kings' season ticket base has grown from about 1,500 to 2,700.
'We really hoped that we would break the 3,000 barrier last season and that didn't happen and that's where we want to get to this year,' adds McCrimmon, 'What the club has to have back in return is volume if we're going to keep our season tickets price where they are...that's just business.
The $299 price equates to about $8.30 per game.
In addition, gate admission prices will remain unchanged for next season
