Winnipeg hits 13,000 season tickets by The Sports Network

 The city of Winnipeg reached the 13,000-season ticket plateau in just 17 minutes after the sale was opened to the general public on Saturday.

Reaching 13,000 season tickets sold was one of the goals of the True North Sports and Entertainment Group, who purchased the Atlanta Thrashers on Tuesday in hopes of relocating the franchise to Winnipeg.

All that remains is for the NHL Board of Governors to approve the sale when they meet on June 21 in New York.

The pre-sale of tickets, which was made available to ticket-package holder of the American Hockey League’s Manitoba Moose and corporate advertising clients, generated 7,158 sales in the pre-sale that ended at 11 p.m. (et) on Friday.

The remaining 5,842 tickets that were made available to the general public sold in 17 minutes.

“While I had no doubt the ‘Drive to 13,000′ would reach its destination, the remarkable speed at which it got there certifies the fans’ hunger for NHL hockey and their commitment to True North’s initiatives,” said NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.

The unnamed franchise will play at the MTS Centre, which seats 15,015 people.
