The Belleville Senators are back on home ice in just about 48 hours, and fans are running out of time to be there to welcome the team back to the Bay of Quinte and celebrate the new season.
Fewer than 500 tickets remain for Saturday’s home opener at CAA Arena against the Toronto Marlies, the team announced on Thursday.
The festivities begin at 4:00 p.m. when the players walk the red carpet, signing autographs and taking pictures with fans, as they enter CAA Arena through Gate 1 inside the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre.
The red carpet will close at 5:00 p.m., with gates opening to fans at 5:30 p.m. (90 minutes before puck drop).
There will be lots happening around the rink ahead of the game, including balloon making, a sign crafting station, a meet and greet photo stay with Belly and more! Fans should also ensure they are in their seats early for the players’ introductions.
“Our club has built a lot of momentum heading into the new season, and to be this close to our first sellout of the year ahead, our first home game is a testament to that, and to the buzz about the team around the community,” stated Belleville Sens Vice President of Business Operations John Mathers.
Speaking this week, Mathers said the organization is getting hyped for the new season.
“Everyone here is zooming around, trying to get ready. We are excited,” he expressed.
“We’re trying to throw everything at the wall to make sure everyone walks away having a great experience.”
Additionally, as part of the leadup to the weekend, Belleville Mayor Neil Ellis proclaimed this week as “Senators Week” in the city.
Single-game tickets for the first half of the 2025-26 season are now on sale via Ticketmaster or at the Belleville Sens Box Office located inside the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre. Details on season seat memberships, flex packs, premium seating, the Business Edge program, and more can be found by visiting the Belleville Sens.
