SALT LAKE CITY - Real Salt Lake is pleased to announce that KFC will once again offer soccer fans in the state of Utah the most affordable RSL ticket in town!
The popular Colonel's Corner promotion is back for 2007, affording RSL fans the chance to purchase corner flag ticket vouchers, regularly priced at $19.00, for only $14.00 each, a savings of $5.00 per ticket! Fans are encouraged to stop by any one of the 35 participating KFC locations to take advantage of this exciting offer.
"KFC has been a tremendously valuable partner for RSL, not only on a corporate sponsorship basis but with incredible marketing support to help further co-promote the RSL and KFC brands", said John Kimball, RSL Sr. Vice President of Business Operations. "They represent a company that truly sees the value of marketing their brand to our loyal and passionate audience and they were an ideal candidate to help deliver the most affordable single game tickets available to RSL fans."
"KFC and RSL share a lot of the same objectives with our emphasis on providing great value for Utah families", said KFC'S Bruce Phillips. "We are excited to again be the exclusive home of the KFC Colonel's Corner program and look forward to being part of the Real family for many years to come."
KFC has been a corporate sponsor of RSL since the team's inception in 2005. Beginning with RSL's inaugural season, KFC has sponsored the popular halftime promotion "Kickin' for Chicken", where three fans dribble through oversized KFC buckets attempting to be the first to score a goal. The winner receives a KFC bucket containing a gift certificate good for a free bucket of chicken.
Last season marked the first year of the Colonel's Corner program, and the public response was staggering. Game after game the corner flag section containing the Colonel's Corner patrons was amongst the most populated and passionate fan section in the entire stadium, securing the program's continuation for the 2007 season.
The Colonel's Corner vouchers can be redeemed for any 2007 RSL home game, with the sole exception being the 9/19 battle with David Beckham and the LA Galaxy. Fans interested in obtaining one of the remaining "Build it with Beckham" packages, the only way to gain entrance to the Galaxy game, are encouraged to call 801.924.8585.
