The Columbus Blue Jackets have had a record number of season tickets renewed. They are pushing for more.
The Columbus Blue Jackets are capitalizing on their on ice success last season. They have already seen record numbers of new season tickets purchased and a 96% renewal rate on past season ticket holders.
These sales are critical to the function of the team and bode well for the future of the organization. But the front office isn’t satisfied with just that.
The announced recently a season ticket holder referral program to further push the sales of these tickets. If a referral is made that results in a new ticket package purchased, the season ticket holder is eligible for up to a 15% discount on their plan.
This should push the numbers of season ticket holders up just a bit more. It’s looking like it will be the best season for attendance in Columbus Blue Jacket history.
