Thanks for the shots G'boro, very interesting indeed.

Thanks for posting. I like this year's tix. Really interesting to go back down memory lane. Crazily, my husband keeps every single ticket for every game, and catalogs them those acid free boxes. I did smile at the ECF 02 ticket, We had a man come up to us from Toronto, who offered by our tickets from the 02 ECF's because he just had a ticketmaster ticket and wanted a keepsake. He offered hub $100 bucks for it and got a polite decline. :lol:

Ya'll, I had to laugh HARD at the "This is HOCKEY" tickets. That year was so insanely miserable, and that friggin slogan was EVERYWHERE.:laugh: I remember, at the time, my drive to work was on the beltline to N. Raleigh and I had to pass that billboard the Canes maintained- and there it would be. I remember one time after a particularly horrid loss, I flipped the billboard off. ;)

Ahhh memories.

I'm thinking I trashed all my "This is Hockey" tickets. :lol:

That was the last year I was a full STH. Got laid off and couldn't afford it anymore.

CajunCaniac

09-11-2009, 10:19 AM

Emphasis was on the wrong word and should be read as a question, not a statement... when referring to that season, it should have been "THIS is hockey??"

G-Vegas Caniac

09-11-2009, 10:55 AM

The full STH tickets look good. I wish they would put a picture or something on our 12 game tickets! :lol:

that was the year we kept saying *THIS? is hockey?????*....

Man that season was ruff.. my first year as a STH.

Jay

09-11-2009, 05:56 PM

I wish they'd do something that looked neat for 12 game holders :(

Either way, I got mine today -- the magnets are SUPERNICE. I love them :-D. I'll be the only guy in Virginia with a 'Canes STH magnet :p

From what was posted (somewhere here) last week, it was the Founding Partners that got the hand delivery. I'm not sure if it was every founding partner or not, but that was what was reported.

Given the small percentage of people that they can reasonably do this for, and the fact that it's the very first time they have...I'm impressed.

ButtersSaysNo

09-21-2009, 02:41 PM

Unfortunately the Canes do not recognize all Founding Partners that currently have season tix. They only recognize those that have had them for every season without any gap.

carterrett

09-21-2009, 03:40 PM

so since no one said anything I can assume that there were no players at your house delivering your tickets? I got the fedEx man as well.

Well there is this guy in LLS who sits in the front row. Found out friday night that Brind'amour delivered his tickets to him personally.
hhmmmm

now this will be my 11th year as a full season ticket holder and I sit around (and know some on here) that have been STH's since day one. So wtf? Why can't they randomly pick STH's and do that? or did they and we just haven't heard?

Tim Gleason personally delivered my season tickets to my house.

This is our 5th year being season ticket holders - and our seats are located in the End Zone, third level.

I was so excited. It really made my week. My wife said I was acting like a 14 year old anticipating the ticket delivery. Of course, we took pictures and I forwarded to friends in Minnesota who follow the Wild. They now think I'm "in" with the Canes.:lol:

c-girl

09-21-2009, 03:55 PM

This is our fourth year of being STH and our seats are in the end zone third level. If Timmay doesn't deliver my tickets next year, I'm going to be sooooo P.O.ed. :lol:

nccanes

09-21-2009, 04:12 PM

Thanks for the scoop carterett - guess it was indeed random. Either way would work for me. Congrats on the fun!

puckin_A

09-21-2009, 04:38 PM

well cool. Random works for me too!! And I was going to say, I know the guy I was talking about is not one of the founding partners.

congrats on the delivery carterrett!

SouthernHockeyChick

09-21-2009, 04:54 PM

Congrats! Though I'm having to stamp down the jealous to say that. :lol:

Did they notify you ahead of time that it was happening so you'd be there? Cause maybe Timmy did show up at my house.....but I didn't know he was coming so no one was home!!

SoCalcaniac

09-21-2009, 05:11 PM

Congrats caterett, although I'll have to stomp with SHC in jealousy as well, especially since Tim Gleason came to your house! :bye:

I'm bummed on the one hand, since we've had Full ST's since 2001, and mini's before that, but also glad that it was more random than was originally reported and not just the FP's.

I had to LOL at caterett's friends in MN comments about being "in with the Canes". We get that alot with our friends in CA who follow the Ducks & Kings, and with our family in PA- they wail "You guys have wayyyyyy too much access to the team and it's always free". I do believe we have outstanding access as a fan base, so I won't complain about much of anything- our friends in CA were so surprised that we were going to the Caniac Carnival "again" this year - they thought it was some kind of "one time promo", lol.

livinthedream

09-21-2009, 05:17 PM

LOL I'm up here in Philly with a bunch of Flyers and Penguins and Wings fans and they are all blown away at the access we have (yeah I just happened to have a picture or two on my laptop ;)).

carterrett

09-21-2009, 06:01 PM

Picture -or it didn't happen:lol:

Karen Prince called me around the time everyone was getting their Season Tickets delivered. She asked if I could be home next Thursday for a surprise. I told her "no problem" my wife can sign for the tickets. She said "no, you have to be there - we have a surprise." So, I kind of figured out what the surprise could be, but I didn't know for sure. I love Stormy, but would have been really disappointed if the pig showed up with my tickets :lol:

KaniacFever

09-21-2009, 08:46 PM

^OMG I'm so freakin jealous.

That boy better be at my house next season. OK, I won't be picky, I'll take any of them :lol:

Carterrett, that is SO AWESOME! Thanks for sharing the picture.

Lainienc

09-22-2009, 07:39 AM

Carterret, that is SO awesome for you! The folks that sat in front of us last year moved over a section and their company bought about a row of season tickets and had been an 11 year STH. Ruuty delivered their tickets ! How happy were they?! I think its great that the organization did this. Besides, the Penguins did it last year and look how well it turned out for their team! ;-)

c-girl

09-22-2009, 07:51 AM

I wonder why the organization hasn't publicized the player delivery. I think it would be great PR.

SoCalcaniac

09-22-2009, 07:52 AM

Yeah, considering the Sharks and Pens had full on video crews with them, some pix would be nice. ;) Maybe they'll have it on the video board, like they did with the Freisen 5K last game.

SoCalcaniac

09-22-2009, 08:09 AM

Double post. Oy.

Jay

Maybe so, but to me, the gesture shows their just trying to appreciate fans -- not get good PR -- since they aren't publicizing it.

A real "awww" moment.

Chad LaRose was the ticket delivery person in one of my co-workers' neighborhoods. Supposedly the daughter of the STH was not at home so Chad jumped in the car and they went to meet her at the orthodontist's office.

I dunno, maybe it's just me, or maybe it's the way I *want* it to be, but I get the feeling that a lot of our players have as much fun with this sh*t as we do sometimes. :lol:

CajunCaniac

09-24-2009, 07:11 AM

Anyone hear anything about the STH Gift Incentive Program? I thought they were doing that again this year, but maybe I’m mis-remembering that...

^Yeah I just saw it a few minutes ago. Great stuff. I really loved the young girl throwing herself in Chad's arms outside the orthodonist's office.

SoCalcaniac

09-24-2009, 12:55 PM

The little girl was so cute. She just ran right into his arms and then that little wave she did was adorable. Chad is going to be a legend in these parts for years to come.

It was also so cool to see Chad in the dad's car as a passenger, just driving to the orthodontists office. :-

OT question (did not want to start a new thread) but is anyone else on the bank or cc draft program for their tickets & have not been dinged yet for this month's payment? Kind of odd since normally the Canes ding me by the 20th anyway. And it's almost the end of the month already (not that I am complaining--just wondering is something was up with my draft).

Thanks

PS I am glad they did not show up at my house for this last week cause it was\is a mess-lol

kermelbar

09-24-2009, 07:35 PM

If they called to make sure I'd be home, my first words would be, "For the love of God, come to my office instead!!!!" :lol:

My account was dinged on the 17th.

brindyfan

09-24-2009, 08:26 PM

Thanks--guess I will email Karen and make sure there is not an issue.

FYI... Spoke with Brooke Baragona (wonder rep for the Canes in my eyes), and she said that they just recently decided what was going to be in the catalog and we should have more info soon. She promised to follow up early next week with less vague info. Brooke is a superstar...

Soooo.... they're using the same slogan they did for last year?

SouthernHockeyChick

09-10-2011, 09:02 AM

They usually use them for 2 years, at least.

We are a budget team and can't afford a new slogan every year.

Kidder

09-10-2011, 10:52 AM

They usually use them for 2 years, at least.

Actually, I'm pretty sure this is the first time they've re-used a slogan from the previous year.

SouthernHockeyChick

Kidder

09-10-2011, 12:36 PM

Actually, I'm positive they used "Our Team Our Tradition" two years in a row and I believe they used "This Is Hockey" two years in a row....I remember hating it for a looong time. If you look back through this thread you'll probably see them on the tickets.

You are correct. I stand corrected.

It's still lame though that they can't seem to come up with a new slogan each year.

Greensboro Hurricanes

09-10-2011, 01:43 PM

I'm pretty sure they used "You'll know when you go" for a couple of seasons too. I really disliked that one.

The only ones I recall getting the one-and-done treatment was "Here to Play - Here to Stay" (05-06) and "Be a Champion" (06-07).
