Tickets sold at a brisk pace for games 3 and 4 of the Kitchener Rangers round 2 OHL Playoff matchup with the London Knights.
A spokesperson for the Rangers said that more than 5,000 tickets were sold for both Sunday’s Game 3 and Tuesday’s Game 4 in the first hour after tickets went on sale.
Tickets went on sale at 10 a.m. and by 11 a.m., 6,000 tickets were sold for the Sunday afternoon Game 3 matchup.
The arena has seats for 7,135 people while the capacity is 7,500.
The eighth-seeded Rangers completed an unprecedented four-game sweep of the top-seeded Windsor Spitfires on Friday night at the Aud.
As a reward for their efforts, the Rangers now face the Western Conference’s No. 2 seeded Knights in a series which will begin on Thursday in London.
The following night, the teams will again square off in London, before the scene shifts to the Aud where Kitchener will play host on Sunday and Tuesday.
The Rangers will be without their captain Francesco Pinelli for the first two games in London as he will be sitting out the final two games of a three-game suspension.
The two teams met six times this season, with London winning five of the contests including a 5-1 victory to close out the season.
While that might indicate trouble for the Rangers, they also dropped all four of the regular season affairs with Windsor ahead of the first-round playoff sweep.
