Chicago Rush Joins Forces With Discover® Card
To Bring Added Value To Fans
February 15, 2006
CHICAGO - Feb. 14, 2006 – Chicago Rush and Discover®
Card announced today that they have signed a presenting
partnership agreement that locks in season ticket
prices through 2008, and provides Rush fans with
an additional five percent discount on Rush season
and group tickets purchased with their Discover
Card.
“Both organizations pride themselves
on delivering unrivaled services and creating
special ways to reward consumers,” said Rush president/general
manager Mike Polisky. “By combining our resources,
we will make an even greater impact for our Chicago
Rush fans.”
“Forming this partnership
with the Rush is another way we are rewarding
our Cardmembers,” said Margo Georgiadis, executive
vice president and chief marketing officer of
Discover Financial Services.
The partnership
goes beyond locking in ticket prices. On the
field, Discover Card literally has become part
of the Chicago Rush fabric with a branded jersey
patch on both home and away uniforms. Discover
Card also will be visible on two field turf squares,
end zone tunnel banners and 60 feet of dasherboard
real estate, among other elements.
The
2006 Chicago Rush kicked off January 29 and continues
through May. Fans interested in purchasing season
or group tickets can call the Rush at (877) RUSH-TIX
or visit the team’s Web site, www.chicagorush.com.
