May I Ask That You Consider Buying or Renewing Your Season Tickets?

Monday, July 28th, 2008

It would be great for us to achieve a milestone - 12,000 season tickets - or what it would take to bring in an expansion team into a new market. Check out this article for information on our success in selling tickets this summer.

Business is very healthy for us right now and we are very grateful. Season tickets are our life blood so if you are considering it, please close on your purchase ASAP. Also, we are at 91 percent renewals. I am hopeful that if you have season tickets and haven’t renewed, you will do so now as well. We have demand and I know we can sell the tickets and we want to be supportive of our existing season ticket holders.

I watched game 7 of our playoff series against the Flyers last night on the NHL channel. It was so amazing to see that sea of red in the stands. I am hopeful we can keep the spirit alive and recapture that magic throughout next season and it all starts with our season ticket holders. Thank you so much. Go Caps!

This is Spot On

It actually feels like Obama is running a campaign for re-election now! He is actually now our sitting President. :-) If Hillary Clinton was considered ”inevitable” then Obama is “ordained”, at least by mainstream media.

I bought Rolling Stone magazine. I have never seen a cover like that one before. I get People magazine at home and there is the Obama family on the cover. Every channel leads with an Obama story. How can he not win?

Yet today, I was at a breakfast and one of the gentleman who happens to be a Republican operative made mention, ”This isn’t about words and pictures, Ted. It’s about math.” He didn’t think the election is over.

I won’t tell you who I think will win but I do believe the media has spoken by its acts - and coverage - but that some people believe that math will win out. Time will tell but this will be the most interesting election that I can remember. Read this story.

This is a new film we just added to SnagFilm’s library. It is very provocative and very powerful.
