Buy some vodka, get a hockey ticket

[MacK_Attack 108]

If this doesn't work, it's time to pack it in...

Smirnoff Vodka has teamed up with the Phoenix Coyotes to offer hockey fans a chance to catch the April 7th game against the St Louis Blues game when you purchase a bottle of 1.75l Smirnoff Red Label or Flavored Vodka at any participating retailer.

Limit of 6.

Wow. You can take the whole family to the game and tolerate them when you get home.

Before I opened this thread I figured it was the Lightning doing this.

This reminds me of when the Detroit Vipers couldn't give tickets away.

[rage 24]

Wow, if I lived in Phoenix I'd be jumping all over this!

[cusimano_brothers 1,655]

A hockey ticket promotion...with a twist.

Or bring some friends over to share in the tolerance.

haha good stuff.

This is both hilarious and sad on the Coyotes part. I'm far from a party pooper and I can handle my own with the creature, but isn't giving away hockey tickets if you buy a half-gallon of vodka and then saying 'drink responsibly' akin to saying free cigarettes for life but 'don't go dying on us'

Every Coyotes game: "hey, free hockey tickets"

Coyotes-Wings game: "awesome! cheap tickets and a free jug of vodka!"

i have now seen it all.

[Guest Shoreline]

Any takers on the tickets? If they don't want the vodka they can just send it right over. I'm going to be buying a minibar soon and need all the inventory I can get.

HAHAHAHA. If you didn't think the Coyotes were going under from a whole TWO sellouts (the canucks game last weekend was the second this season), and games that are regularly untelevised in the Coyotes' home market....take a look at this act of marketing despiration!

Have fun in Hamilton, Portland, Vegas, St. Louis, or wherever you move.

Do you actually live in Arizona?

If I did, I'd probably want to see more Wings games, thus have the Coyotes stay put. It's probably some 5-8 hours drive from Flagstaff to LA/Anaheim, the next nearest team's arena (Staples Center/Honda Center), assuming you want to go the cheap way and drive.

[Electrophile 3,554]

Wow, that's pathetic. Blow it up and start from scratch.

[YoungGuns1340 1]

On a more ironic note, Vodka is what was being excessively downed when Phoenix was chosen as an expansion market.

Everything comes full circle.

[Drake_Marcus 890]

At least the drunk fans will have more fun, regardless of who wins.

And earlier this season the Florida Panthers offered free tickets if you were able to show a Florida driver's license.

I'm posting all the way down in Cozumel just to say, *wow*....now I've seen it all.

As Mack_Attack said, if this doesn't work its time to pack it in.

Yeah I actually live in Arizona. Thanks

The Coyotes organization is a mess, and a joke. The Wings coming to town is a nice thing, but then you get hassled by the staff at the arena. The organization absolutely hates Wings fans (anyone watched the FSN Arizona broadcasts when Detroit is in town??? they have a gigantic chip on their shoulder about Wings fans!), and I really am not on their side. Plus, the large majority of people here don't give a rip about the game....so I have no problem if they move to somewhere that actually appreciates hockey.

I can always go to the Joe when I'm visiting family back in Michigan.

Oh, well, in that case, quite selfless and classy.

No kidding though? They really hassle you there like that? What a bunch of asshats.

Hell, I wear my Wings stuff to the HP Pavilion for concerts, for Sharks/Wings games, for Sharks/other teams, and the one time I got hassled was by a drunk fan shouting across the street at me after the Wings played the Sharks, and his drunken yelling+stumbling got himself a disorderly conduct ticket. If he had turned his brilliant ass to the left, instead of to the right, across the street at me, he'd have seen at least 6-10 officers waiting for an idiot to give a ticket to.

you must have been an ******* first, ive been to every wings-coyotes game for 9 years straight and have never once experienced a staff member who wasnt as helpful as could possibly be (disgruntled fans not included, i blame 350 days of sun a year). you kind of seem like your going out of your way to diss the coyotes.
