Federal economic stimulus package unlocks unprecedented value for Grizzlies fans for the 2008-09 season
Memphis, April 24, 2008 – The Memphis Grizzlies are helping fans stretch their entertainment dollar further than ever this tax season. For a limited time, fans can take advantage of Uncle Sam's generosity with the Grizzlies Season Stimulus Plan. Fans receiving payments as part of the U.S. Treasury Department’s Economic Stimulus Package can exchange it for two 2008-09 Grizzlies full Season Tickets and $25 Grizz Bucks - without ever touching their pocketbooks.
Economic stimulus payments will go to more than 130 million U.S. households. Every taxpaying Memphian meeting government requirements, available online at www.irs.gov, will be eligible to receive up to $600 per person, $1,200 for married couples, and parents will receive an additional $300 for each eligible child younger than 17.
And beginning May 2 - the same day the U.S. Treasury will begin distributing stimulus payments – through Independence Day on July 4, Grizzlies fans will have the opportunity to exchange their $600 stimulus checks for two discounted Grizzlies Season Tickets and $25 Grizz Bucks, good for Grizzlies merchandise and food & beverage, a savings of $1,045 over single game prices.
“The federal government’s economic stimulus plan could become your Grizzlies Season Stimulus Plan. If you’ve ever thought about buying season tickets, now is your chance. All you have to do is exchange the check the government is sending you and just like that you can own a pair of 2008-09 Grizzlies season tickets,” said Memphis Grizzlies Executive Vice President of Business Operations Mike Redlick, “Why use the money to buy a new television to watch the Grizzlies when you can see them in person all year long?”
Quantities are available for a limited time, so to exchange your Economic Stimulus Package for a Grizzlies Season Stimulus Plan simply call (901) 888-HOOP to speak with a Grizzlies Account Executive today.
