Today, the 2011 Scotties Tournament of Hearts announced its Big Ticket will go on sale February 1, 2010.

Over the past several decades, dedicated curling fans have recognized the best way to experience all 21 draws of competition - over the course of nine amazing days – is the Big Ticket package. It gives you the chance to choose the best seat in the house for every single draw.

“The Big Ticket is definitely the best way to see the big picture at the Scotties,” said Kim Dolan, Chair of the host committee for the 2011 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Charlottetown, February 19 – 27.

“Our fans have always been strong supporters of championship curling and we’re confident the Big Ticket will generate tremendous interest among fans.”

The 2011 Scotties marks the 30th anniversary of the event under the sponsorship of Kruger Products Limited. It’s the third time Prince Edward Island has hosted the women’s national championship – the last time in Charlottetown was 1999.

The Big Ticket package goes on sale February 1 at 10:00 am and can be purchased online at seasonofchampions.ca or by phoning 902.629.6625, or in person at the Civic Centre Box Office.

The 2011 Scotties Tournament of Hearts will be played in the Charlottetown Civic Centre featuring 12 women’s teams representing the 11 provinces and territories, as well as the defending Scotties champions competing as Team Canada.
