great helps on getting tickets.

you link to the team FAQ list, which is helpful.

a few suggestions:
how do i sign up? two words as a verb, not the one “sign-up”

players’ stats, possessive

suggest hyphenating pro-rated

you hyphenate “single-game tickets” in some places but not others; recommend consistency

recommend line break spaces between each of the sets of driving directions, for easier reading.

Kaberle, who are on injured reserve

The assigned press release announced the campaign. I used the list of message boards and blogs in my original writing and posted voting information and links to my blog on all the message boards and blogs I found in the research for my original writing.  I next decided to embark on a viural marketing campaign. I went to Myspace and found two different Carolina Hurricanes groups with several hundred members each, and posted info on voting on the discussion thread for each group, and used my member’s privilege to send a bulletin to all the members of one of the groups. I used my unc facebook.com account and found a dozen Canes fan clubs there as well, varying from 50 to 500 members. I posted info on voting and a link to my blog on the wall on each of those groups. Yesterday, I wrote to the admins of each of those groups, asking them to message all of the members with the information.  One admin has already messaged her 250 members, I hope others will follow along when they return from Thanksgiving break.  I’ve also written to the Canes marketing department and talked stragegy with them.
