The Neepawa Natives are hoping a new tiered season ticket drive will give fans a little more bang for their puck. Earlier this week, the MJHL club announced details to its 2015-2016 ticket campaign.
Neepawa Natives board member Trevor Lizotte said for the upcoming season, it includes a new Builders Club membership.
“What we’re doing is introducing a premier VIP season ticket package,” said Lizotte. “Basically, it’ll be a way for those who can afford it, to support the team. It will give you access to all the non-fundraising events that the team puts on. A game-pass for all exhibition, regular season and playoff games at the Yellowhead Centre. As well, some exclusive lunches with coaches and members of the club. You will also be recognized on a plaque that’ll hang at the Yellowhead Centre to honour those who contributed a little bit extra to keep the team a viable option for the community.”
The Builders Club, which is the brainchild of Ross McBride, also includes a free replica jersey and discounts to all Booster Club apparel.
Other tiers include a single season ticket package that will offer the replica Natives jersey and a discount for four green fees at Neepawa Golf and Country Club. A regular season ticket package without the additional items will also be available.
Lizotte said providing as many options as possible for people to support the club was very important.
“We are still the most economical ticket in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League. Last year there was a deeply discounted price to keep the team alive and generate interest in the town,” said Lizotte. “This year, there is an increase in the cost, but it’s still much less than other communities. There is great value in the early bird price of $199.00 for the basic ticket package and it is the cheapest price in the MJHL.”
All early bird pricing is in effect until July 31st, 2015. Anyone interested in additional details can learn for at the team website at www.neepawanatives.com
