WINNIPEG – It’s down to the final few games of the Winnipeg Jets’ playoff push and fans are on the edge of their seats hoping for post-season play.

“Winnipeg needs a playoff series so bad, a little bit more so than the Waverley underpass,” said Jets fan Ian Whiklo.

Despite a three per cent price increase for the upcoming season, more than 96 per cent of fans whose tickets were up for renewal this year chose to buy in again.

True North also confirmed there will be more seats available to wait list members for the upcoming season.

This will come from the addition of loge seating in the upper bowl during building enhancements starting this summer, something many fans are looking forward to.

“I don’t think there’s a team in the league that’s loved more than the Jets… so here we’re happy people,” said Jets fan Barbara Leonard.
