MARLIES ANNOUNCE NEW TICKET PRICING STRUCTURE

Changes reflected in both individual and season ticket prices in advance of 2007-08 AHL season

A proud member of the American Hockey League, the Toronto Marlies announced on Monday significant changes to their pricing structure for the 2007-08 season.

Both season seat and individual ticket prices have been reduced. The team’s platinum season seats, located within seven rows of the ice surface, have been reduced by 38% to $30. More than 84% of the seats at Ricoh Coliseum, located at Toronto’s Exhibition Place, are now $25 or less with season seat prices ranging from $15 to $30 per game.

"We recognize that consumers have many options when it comes to sports and entertainment in Toronto and we want the Marlies to be one of the top choices on their list because it’s an exciting, entertaining hockey product," said Tom Anselmi, executive vice-president and chief operating officer of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment. "We've made significant changes to our ticket pricing, ones that will be favourable and affordable for all hockey fans whether they are individuals, groups or families."

Side level season seats have been reduced from $30 to $25 per ticket while premium and regular priced end zone season seats will be lowered from $20 to $15 per ticket. McDonald’s zone tickets (available in advance of game-day) remain at $10 per ticket.
Season seat holder benefits have also been enhanced to include exclusive player/coach meet and greet events, parking discounts, passes to the Marlies skating party, access to special Leafs practice events and much more.

The primary affiliate of the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Marlies begin their third American Hockey League season in Toronto this October. The league’s 72nd regular season schedule, including all Marlies home and away dates, will be announced in early August.

Originally built in 1922, Toronto’s Ricoh Coliseum underwent a major renovation in 2003 and welcomed more than 400,000 patrons last year. In addition to the Marlies, the facility hosts trade shows, concerts and the annual Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.
