Have you renewed your season tickets for 2008-09 yet? If not, do so right away because the Condors are the hot ticket in town, with one of the highest renewal and new ticket sales rates in the entire league! There is only so much room in The Nest, so call the Front Office right away to ensure your seat location for another exciting season of Condors hockey.

As an extra bonus, the Condors are offering great gifts to season ticket holders who renew on time. Those simply placing a 20% deposit on their 2008-09 seats by April 30 will receive a Condors 10th Anniversary DVD, a historic look back at the past 10 years in Condorstown!

Additionally, those paying in full by April 30 or signing up for AutoPay, which is a program that is set up for automatic payments to a credit or debit card, will receive a Condors Polar Fleece Blanket (50" X 60") as an extra gift! AutoPay is not a new program, but by popular request this season, several different payment options are now available for AutoPay and each qualify for the blanket.

So, to recap: all you have to do to walk away with the 10th Anniversary DVD and the Condors Polar Fleece Blanket is to sign up for AutoPay with at least a 20% deposit by April 30. Any seats that are not renewed by April 30 are subject to be opened for sale to the general public. So don't lose your seat location, renew your seats today!

Once you renew your season tickets, be sure to also take advantage of the Condors Season Tickets Referral Credit Program to save big bucks on your tickets. Fill out the referral form (click here) and if your referral signs up for full season tickets and pays the 20% deposit on their season tickets by April 30, you will receive $100 credit for each season ticket your referral signs up for. For example, if your referral signs up for four season tickets, and puts the 20% deposit down by April 30, then you will receive $400 credit towards your 2008-09 season tickets or $400 in Condors merchandise gift certificates!

If you want to experience Condors hockey from a different vantage point in the 2008-09 season, all you have to do is request a seat relocation when you renew. To request a seat relocation, just write your desired change in the comments section on your season ticket renewal contract. Relocation requests will not be accepted without renewing your season tickets.

The Condors are currently accepting relocation requests, which are fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis. So renew your season tickets and request your relocation right away to ensure you will sit exactly where you want next season!
