Frisco Thunder won’t raise ticket prices in 2009

by PegNews wire

FRISCO — Frisco Thunder owners Jake and Vinita Reed announced today that tickets prices will not increase when the Intense Football League team returns for the 2009 season.

For as little as $10 - the same price as in 2008 - football fans in the Collin County area can experience fast-paced indoor

football as well as in-game entertainment and the opportunity to meet and greet players on the Deja Blue Arena field afterwards.

"With gas prices rising and the general cost of living increasing, families are having to make hard decisions about where to go and what to do for fun," Jake Reed said. "Hopefully, we've made the decision to come to a Frisco Thunder game a lot easier.

"It's on us to get the word out and fill the seats," Reed added. "This is what we need to do be a successful franchise. We were pleased with the progress we made in 2008, but we're not going to completely satisfied until it's standing room only."

The Thunder endured a unique schedule in 2008, with the entire seven-game home schedule frontloaded at the beginning of the season due to arena renovations. Frisco is concluding this season with seven consecutive road games and will play any and all playoff games on the road.

"This season was not ideal, but we were prepared to deal with it because we know in 2009 that we'll have the best set up for any indoor football team in the nation," Reed said. "We're already excited about next year."
