Pepsi and the Jackets are a running a new ticket promotion.
Pepsi and local retailers are teaming up to give hockey fans the opportunity to get tickets for select Blue Jackets games at Nationwide Arena. Now through Friday, January 22, Columbus area shoppers who purchase four 12-packs of Pepsi or Diet Pepsi (regular or caffeine free) in a single transaction can receive two tickets to select home games. Customers should look for the specially-marked packaging on Pepsi & Diet Pepsi at participating central Ohio grocery stores.
Purchasers may redeem the tickets by visiting www.bluejackets.com/pepsi and completing an informational form to receive an official confirmation which must be presented at the Nationwide Arena ticket office along with the register receipt showing proof or purchase. Tickets may only be redeemed at the ticket office between 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday or 10a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday, while supplies last. There is a limit of four tickets per transaction with only one transaction per game.
This special offer applies for the following games: Jan. 10 (Dallas); Jan. 18 (St. Louis); Jan. 26 (Nashville); Jan. 28 (Los Angeles); Feb. 4 (Dallas); Feb. 10 (San Jose); Feb. 12 (Vancouver); Feb. 14 (Chicago); Mar. 2 (Vancouver); Mar. 11 (Atlanta); Mar. 15 (Edmonton) and Mar. 30 (Tampa Bay). Deadline for redemption is Friday, Feb. 12. Tickets are limited and subject to availability.
Another great promo and one they are certainly gonna need.
