Enter to Win Two Tickets to Columbus Blue Jackets Pride Night, March 11
6 Comments | Posted by Pete in Allies in Sport
The Columbus Blue Jackets are hosting a “Pride Night” on Friday, March 11 when they play the Los Angeles Kings at Nationwide Arena.
The event is sponsored by Outlook: Columbus, and a portion of ticket sales will go to benefit Stonewall Columbus and Columbus’ own gay hockey team, the Ohio Mayhem, but ONLY IF you purchase the tickets from Amber Krill. Contact her at 614.246.4236 or by email at akrill@bluejackets.com. Tickets are $35 OR you can enter to win 2 tickets (details below).
Those in attendance will receive a Rick Nash bobble-head and a Blue Jackets hat. Following the NHL game, the Ohio Mayhem, Columbus’ own gay hockey team, will host the Black Wolves, the gay team from Chicago
I decided to buy 4 tickets to the event — and to give away 2 of them:
Here’s what you need to do to enter to win:
(1) “Like” Wide Rights on Facebook or Follow @WideRights on Twitter. (I’m allowed to get something out of this, right?)
(2) “Like” this SPECIFIC post on Facebook or Re-Tweet THIS Tweet. (This is how I’ll record that you “enter” to win.)
(3) Be in Columbus, Ohio, on March 11th. (I’ll confirm this by communicating with you over Twitter or Facebook).
I’ll keep track of all the Twitter Re-Tweets and the list of Facebook “Likes” and then pick the winner on Monday, March 7. If I’m unable to confirm the winner within 24 hours (or they don’t meet the criteria above), I’ll pick another winner on Tuesday, etc., until we give these tickets away.
If you have any questions, contact me.

Great idea. I was in Columbus last summer for the Baseball World Series. Checked out Nationwide Arena. Great facility. Spoke to a lot of local gay guys about the CBJ. They all followed hockey and love Rick Nash. they were happy for him when he won the Gold medal at the 2010 Olympics. That said, they would have been happier if he took the Silver instead.

Thanks for the comment Russel. The GSWS was a great time. I volunteered at it and it was amazing. The columbus gay sports scene is pretty awesome.

pretty weird that the columbus website doesn’t even list this as a promotion. is this day team-sponsored?

In the grand scheme, it’s not a “major” promotion for the game. It’s mostly a coordination for a block of tickets with a portion of the sales going to charity organizations.
Still happy to participate though!
I would love to go to this game. I am an 8 year breast cancer survivor and one of my wishes is to meet Rick Nash.
