FOUR WAYS TO WIN TAYLOR SWIFT TICKETS on Vancouver Island, thanks to Maxxam Insurance

The HarbourCats, along with our friends at the Nanaimo NightOwls, Maxxam Insurance, Champ Promotions and the Cowichan Valley Capitals are offering fans a chance to win Taylor Swift tickets for the concerts in Vancouver in December!

For Immediate Release

February 7, 2024

Victoria, BC – She’s a phenomenon, the hottest act on Planet Earth — and Vancouver Island sports groups, including your Victoria HarbourCats, have teamed up with Maxxam Insurance to give fans four different venues to win tickets to the high-in-demand (and expensive!) Taylor Swift concerts coming to Vancouver in December.

The top baseball teams in Victoria and Nanaimo, the HarbourCats and NightOwls, along with Champ Promotions and the Cowichan Valley Capitals, each have two tickets for Taylor Swift that will be given away live at their respective events. Your first chance to win is on May 11th but it might be wise (Owl reference) to get tickets to all of the events to increase your odds. These events will sell out so get your tickets as soon as you can.

Each of the four events will have a prize of two tickets — a total of eight tickets are up for grabs.

May 11, Pearkes Recreation Centre — Champ Promotions Boxing Card

Every ticket purchased for the Champ Promotions – Round 4 event on May 11th will earn an entry into the Taylor Swift tickets draw to see her in live in concert in December in Vancouver, B.C. Two tickets will be given away live at Champ Promotions – Round 4! Champ Promotions – Round 4 is not only your first opportunity to win Taylor Swift tickets, but also your best odds. There are only 1700 tickets to be sold for the May 11th event and someone will leave that night with a pair of tickets. Tickets to Champ Promotions – Round 4 are now available at ChampPromotions.com, and more information at https://harbourcats.com/maxxam

June 25-26-27-28, Wilson’s Group Stadium at RAP — Victoria HarbourCats

Tickets to each game in the four-game series will earn an entry into the draw for two tickets, to be made near the end of the June 28 game at Wilson’s Group Stadium at Royal Athletic Park. When fans enter the park, they will get an entry form to add to the draw barrel.

BONUS — All game tickets for those four games purchased by March 31 will receive a bonus entry into the draw — so you will want to get those tickets early, either online at www.harbourcats.com/tickets or in the team office at 101-1814 Vancouver Street. New Season Ticket holders who purchase before March 31 and existing Season Ticket Holders who renew and pay in full for their seats by March 31 will also receive TWO bonus entries.

For immediate release

VICTORIA, B.C. — On a strong pitching staff, Flynn Ridley and Brett Harvey were standouts for the 2023 Victoria HarbourCats.

The HarbourCats are excited to announce the return of the two right-handers, along with excitement at adding two quality hitters from a school that has long provided great players, Fresno State.

Ridley and Harvey, along with Sky Collins and Cam Schneider from Fresno State, highlight a new signing group that includes a huge right-hander from TCU in Carson Cormier, and a star catcher from Texas A&M in Kyle Micklus, a lefty hitter with power.

Announced today:

RHP Flynn Ridley, Ottawa (AZ), 6-4/200, Burnaby, BC
RHP Brett Harvey, Puget Sound, 6-2/190, Auburn, WA
C Kyle Micklus, West Texas A&M, 5-9/190, Waller, TX
OF Sky Collins, Fresno State, 6-1/180, Fresno, CA
IF/OF Cam Schneider, Fresno State, 6-3/190, Fresno, CA
RHP Carson Cormier, TCU, 6-5/225, Westford, MA

Harvey (pictured right) posted a combined 1.90 ERA over 15 regular season and playoff games for the ‘Cats in 2023, giving up 20 hits in 23.2 innings. Ridley started four games among his nine appearances and was 1-1 with a 2.25 ERA, striking out 28 in 24 innings. Take away his last start, and he was 1-0 with a 1.35 ERA, limiting opposing hitters to a .132 average.

Micklus, an energy guy behind the dish, is hitting .421 with six homers for West Texas A&M, after starring at Lassen College in California. He’s also stolen 11 bases, adding 15 doubles and two triples, and will give the catching staff an older presence.

Collins and Schneider are both from Fresno, and bring size to the lineup. Schneider is hitting .273 as a freshman this season, while Collins joined the Bulldogs off a strong two years at Fresno City College, winning a gold glove and being named second team all-conference.

Cormier is big, 6-5 and 225. From just outside of Boston, the freshman has won numerous academic and leadership awards and was on the Dodgers scout team before landing at TCU as a top prospect who will get valuable innings in the summer with the HarbourCats.

The HarbourCats open on the road May 31 in Kamloops, the start of back-to-back series in Kamloops and Kelowna, before returning for the June 7 home opener against Wenatchee. The HarbourCats will be on the road this summer in Kamloops, Kelowna, Edmonton, Wenatchee, Ridgefield, Port Angeles, Bellingham, and six games in Nanaimo against the Island-rival NightOwls at Serauxmen Stadium. Teams visiting Victoria this year are Wenatchee, Nanaimo, Bellingham, Port Angeles, Kelowna, Edmonton (two series), Kamloops and Corvallis, along with non-league games against the Redmond Dudes, Dub Sea Fish Sticks, the SIBL All-Stars, and Victoria Mavericks All-Stars.

The regular season runs until August 7, with WCL playoffs running from August 10 to August 16.

Single game tickets are now available for the HarbourCats 2024 season including the home opener on Friday, June 7, 2024 at 6:35pm against the Kamloops NorthPaws. These can be purchased online through our one and only ticketing partner, Select Your Tickets, at www.harbourcats.com/tickets or at the HarbourCats office at 101-1814 Vancouver Street.

Season tickets and 10-game flex packs are also now on sale via the HarbourCats office or by calling 778-265-0327.
