FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – October 7, 2016

VICTORIA, B.C. – Following an overwhelmingly successful 2016 trip with more than 140 Victoria baseball fans invading Safeco Field in August, the Victoria HarbourCats are staging a 2017 fan vacation to Seattle to see the Blue Jays take on the Mariners.

The 2017 vacation takes place June 9-11, 2017 and will include:

• Travel on Wilson’s Transportation buses from to and from Victoria and Seattle. Ferry cost also included.
• Field level tickets for all three Blue Jays @ Mariners games at Safeco Field.
• Two nights at the Hilton Embassy Lynnwood.

Total cost is $798 per person (based on double occupancy). Different rates available for triple as well as single occupancy.

Registration for HarbourCats season ticket holders is $725 per person (based on double occupancy). The trip is not expected to interfere with the HarbourCats home schedule, as the team is expected to be on the road during this time.
