Seattle NHL group says it received over 25,000 deposits for season tickets
SEATTLE — A group looking to bring NHL hockey to Seattle says it has received over 25,000 deposits for season tickets through a ticket drive.
The Los Angeles-based Oak View Group said on Twitter that it hit its initial goal of 10,000 deposits in 12 minutes.
Thursday’s ticket drive was another step toward putting another NHL team in the Pacific Northwest after the group led by billionaire David Bonderman and filmmaker Jerry Bruckheimer submitted an expansion application to the league in February.
The expansion fee is expected to be around US$650 million.
