"Showing the Toronto Maple Leafs games exclusively at our theatres last year was a great idea that Leafs fans loved and we're excited to have more than doubled this season's games from seven to 19," says Pat Marshall, Vice President Communications and Investor Relations for Cineplex Entertainment. "New this year is the opportunity to purchase tickets in three or five packs at a discount to secure your seats in advance to the hottest big screen hockey."
The Leafs TV-Cineplex Entertainment season begins October 11, when the Leafs face off against the New York Islanders. Leafs fans can cheer for their favourite team while watching the game on Cineplex Entertainment's giant wall-to-wall curved screens in Dolby Digital Surround Sound and in High Definition Television (HDTV).
"Our partnership with Cineplex Entertainment has been tremendously successful mainly because of the authentic experience we've created for Leafs fans in a theatre environment," says Chris Hebb, Senior Vice-President of Broadcast and Content for Leafs TV. "The High-Definition broadcast will have fans feeling as though they are sitting rinkside at Air Canada Centre."
Hebb adds that people want to consume sports in different ways and the emergence of new mediums such as watching hockey games in the theatre enables Leafs fans to experience hockey in a non-traditional forum.
Fans in attendance at Cineplex Entertainment theatres will also be treated to the ultimate fan experience with Leafs alumni and mascot appearances, prizes, trivia and giveaways at select theatres.
For $10.95 a ticket or less, family and friends can spend an affordable night out together watching the games. Advance tickets are available immediately online at www.cineplex.com as well as at participating theatre box offices. Admission for children ages 3 - 12 is $8.95 + tax and general admission is $10.95 + tax. New this year, guests can also purchase tickets to any three games for $31.20 + tax or any five games for $49.25 + tax making this a great gift for the holiday season!
Community involvement is a core value of the Leafs and its American Hockey League affiliate the Toronto Marlies. It is also an important component in how Cineplex Entertainment operates its theatres. As a result, proceeds from every Leafs game ticket sold in Cineplex Entertainment theatres will be used to provide underprivileged children a fun, exciting sports experience with an opportunity to attend a Marlies game.
All 19 Leafs games shown in Cineplex Entertainment theatres will be Leafs TV broadcasts. Leafs TV is the official station of Leafs Nation and the hockey fan's number one source for the latest team news and information with favourite programs such as Leafs Today, Game Day, broadcast an hour before each game and After The Horn.
