Fans hit Flyers' phone lines
Never have the sounds of ringing phones been so sweet to Shawn Tilger.
As the Flyers' vice president of marketing and communications, Tilger spent a lot of quiet days during the NHL lockout.
But after Wednesday's announcement that the NHL has a deal in principle for a six-year collective-bargaining agreement, the phones in the Flyers' ticket office are ringing once again.
"We've been getting so many calls that we had to move people over from other departments to help out," Tilger said yesterday. "The response has been overwhelmingly positive."
He said some people have called not to ask about tickets, but just to talk about hockey.
"Some are so excited that the game is back that they just want to vent their excitement," he said.
Tilger said the Flyers will announce their new ticket-pricing plan the day the collective-bargaining agreement is ratified, which could be Thursday.
"As soon as [the] ratification process is over, we will announce our pricing," he said. "We will announce the new season-ticket benefits we will have."
