The Rat City Rollergirls are gearing up for bout 2 in Key arena tomorrow, are any of you going?. Bout 1 was apparently more popular than anyone could have expected and the Rollergirls enjoyed a record number of fans. This of course came at a cost, specifically long lines. However, they promise to have more staff in place to handle the large crowds for the bout tomorrow night (Saturday!).

The Rat City Rollergirls would like you to know the following information as well:

The Rat City Rollergirls were absolutely thrilled at the turn out for
Season 5 Bout 1, and we thank you for supporting our transition from
Magnuson Park to our new Seattle Center home. A major factor for this
move was to make room for new fans, we did –estimated attendance was
more than 4,000 (as opposed to sold-out crowds of 1,200 at Hangar 30).

Why were the box office and concession lines so long?
Attendance exceeded the expectations of KeyArena staff, and we
understand many fans encountered long lines and a long wait at the box
office, concessions, and season ticket holder VIP lounge. We apologize
for any inconvenience, and assure you that these operational issues
are being resolved. At Bout 2 on March 7 and for the rest of the
Season 5 bouts, KeyArena will be fully prepared (with beer flowing) to
accommodate all of our fantastic fans.

Why were ticket prices higher than I’d seen advertised?
As in seasons past, day-of tickets for bouts are higher than tickets
purchased in advance. For the best possible deal, the Rat City
Rollergirls highly recommend purchasing tickets at the KeyArena box
office before the day of the bout (open Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6
p.m.). In addition to the KeyArena box office, tickets are also
available through Ticketmaster’s Web site and retail locations.

What are ticket prices?
Before the day of the bout
Children (12 & under): $13 at KeyArena box office (fees included)
Adults: $20 at KeyArena box office (fees included)

Day of the bout
