HC Lugano

Exactly one month before the opening of the season on Friday September 16 once morest Ajoie at the Corner Arenaphase 2 of Hockey Club Lugano’s subscription campaign, centered on the “We want you with us” initiative, begins today on all the club’s communication media.

The first phase, that of renewing subscriptions, gave a response that instills enthusiasm in the whole environment. A first important objective has been achieved: 4,000 subscribers have found their season pass in letterboxes in recent days. But not only. These 4,000 subscribers also represent the first 4,000 ambassadors of Hockey Club Lugano. Along with the membership card, they received the “We want you with us” card which turns them into club ambassadors.

The initiative is indeed aimed at all subscribers of the 2022/2023 season who, for each new subscriber they bring to the club, will see their “We want you with us” card credited with an amount equal to 10% the price of the card paid by the new subscriber who has chosen to share the live emotions of the game. A new subscription holder is anyone who was not a Cornèr Arena subscription holder during the 2021 season /2022.

The credit accumulated on the “We want you with us” card can be spent throughout the season throughout Hockey Club Lugano: at the Shop’41, at the Club’41 ice rink restaurant, at the refreshment stands, at the cash desks and at the Point Cornèr Arena Info and at the HCL Secretariat in Pregassona in Via Maraini 15 A.

Information and the form for ambassadors are available at hclugano.ch/subscriptions/we-want-you-with-us. For any questions or clarifications, please write to [email protected] or call 0919351920.

The start of the second phase of the subscription campaign also coincides with the end of preemption for subscribers from last season. Tickets for those who have not renewed their subscription for the new championship are now available online on the hclugano.ch website or from the HCL secretariat.
