Minnesota Wild offering big incentives to Season Ticket Holders during Lockout -NHL Update
Many teams will slowly begin to realise that they have to do something about all those season ticket holders in case of the 2012-2013 National Hockey League (NHL) regular season really being locked out, but Minnesota Wild is not waiting and has already made
some major offers to their fan base.
The Wild is one of those few teams that really rejuvenated themselves after ending the 2011-2012 NHL regular season in not such an impressive manner, but worked hard during the summer break to rebuild and rebuild certainly they did.
With the additions of New Jersey Devils captain Zach Parise and one of the top defenseman in the league from Nashville Predators, Ryan Suter, the 2012-2013 regular season was something they and their fans were really looking forward to, until a lockout came
into play.
Now, in order to keep fans from demanding a refund, which they will for those who still do not want to take advantage of the offer, Minnesota is willing to give 10 percent APR interest on the value of the ticket for each game missed. Which will be added
to their credit account with the team for future purchases.
“That interest can be used as a credit in their account. When a game is at least postponed or cancelled, from that moment, if a season-ticket holder keeps their money in their account, the STH would receive 10% APR interest for each day it remains cancelled
or postponed and last until the NHL announces a new schedule,” according to Michael Russo of the Star Tribune.
While the others teams like Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles Kings, Buffalo Sabres, Columbus Blue Jackets, Winnipeg Jets and Chicago Blackhawks offering five percent at the highest and two percent as the minimum, Minnesota’s offer does not sound bad at all for
many of the dedicated fans.
Having locked $196 million for the next 13 years on the two new additions, the Minnesota Wild continue to prove their dedication to satisfying their fan base at each and every cost.
Updates and developments on the lockout should be looked for in the upcoming days.
