“We’re still encouraging our fans to take advantage of our three-day
SERIES Tickets, which offer a 20 per cent savings on regular admission

Jam in the Round-Up Centre, but we know lots of our fans can’t wait to
get their hands on the single day performances of their choice,” said
Kleo Landucci, President of Slam City Jam. “We wanted to remind our
fans of their chance to buy SERIES Tickets now on line and over the
phone and to reserve their single-day tickets beginning August 11th.”
Landucci noted there were still a limited number of Silver Slam SERIES Tickets available through www.ticketmaster.ca, but that all Grand Slam and Gold Slam SERIES Tickets had been sold out.
“We’re really pleased with the welcome we’ve received in Calgary this
year and we’re excited to announce more of the big name entries this
month,” said Landucci, who confirmed X Games star Ryan Sheckler of the
U.S. yesterday and opened the summer countdown to Slam City by
announcing popular Canadian skateboarder Chris Haslam of Richmond, B.C.
on May 15th. “Having entries like Chris Haslam already confirmed is
important for us and our fans. We’re also looking forward to announcing
our music line up beginning next week.”
More than 100 hours of skateboarding, music and SK8 Expo programming
are included in the cost of a three-day SERIES Ticket, which begin as
low as $60.00 for Bronze Slam child. “There’s no better way for our
fans to get the best seats at the best prices than with the three-day
SERIES passes, but we’re very proud of our value pricing all the way
around. We’ll be offering skateboarding, music and videos, plus our SK8
Expo and autograph signing sessions for the price of a movi.e and
snacks and less than the price of most concerts, so we’re happy about
being able to do that in our debut in Calgary, especially with a line
up that also includes Tony Hawk and Eric Koston’s Es Game of Skate and
the best Canadian amateurs in the DC Nationals.”
