Press Release,
The Anaheim Mighty Ducks have purchased 8,000 tickets for tonight's game in San Jose, the tickets were distributed to Ducks season ticket holders on a seniority bases. Greyhound has very generously donated 171 busses for the fan transportation. The busses will leave Anaheim this afternoon at 1:00 PM for the HP Pavilion in San Jose, and will depart one hour after the game. To pass the time on the 327 mile journey there will be video highlights and special player interviews played on the bus entertainment systems, also each bus will have a trivia challenge where one winner on each bus will receive an autographed Ducks jersey. Refreshments and snacks will be provided, GM Drunk has arranged to have Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale served on the busses. "I am pleased to announce that Keiths has agreed from now on to sell their beer at Arrowhead Pond during all Duck's home games. It is also available on today's busses due to the fact I have purchased more of their wonderful product than anyone else...ever".
Ducks GM Halifax Drunk thought this would be a great way to introduce himself to the fans. "What is better than a road trip? Taking 8,000 friends into hostile territory will be a great time! I feel bad for Sharks fans, not only are they going home upset by tonight's Ducks win tonight, but they are going to be drowned out in their home arena! Not to mention, they are SHARKS fans!"
Hilton hotels has also generously offered any Ducks fan 1/2 off the regular room rates at any hotel in the San Jose area. If any fans do stay overnight Greyhound will still provide transportation back to Anaheim tomorrow morning. At last report no rooms have been booked as no one want to stay in San Jose longer than necessary.
