The Washington Capitals' popularity has rocketed so high that tickets to their first-ever Capitals Convention have been selling like hotcakes. The tickets went on July 9th -- and within a week more than half were sold, according to a team update.
The Capitals tout the festive Convention as "the best Capitals event ever to hit the D.C. area." An update on the team's website reads, "This event will be the most immersive Capitals and hockey experience ever. You don't want to miss it."
The Convention, which is likely to become an annual event, will be held on Sept. 26th at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center at the National Harbor in Oxon Hill, MD.
There will be a full day of activities geared to both adults and children, including interactive sessions for fans and the chance to collect player's autographs. In fact, the number of tickets being sold has been limited to 5,000 because team officials said that they want to guarantee that every fan admitted is able to garner at least two autographs from players.
Team alumni and management will also be there -- along with many of the team's most prominent trophies.
"It's one thing to sell out the event," said Capitals' Tim McDermott, "but it's another to make sure everyone has an awesome experience. We just decided to make sure we put on a first-class event. We'll probably have more demand for tickets than we'll have tickets, but we want to make sure everyone has a great, great time, and maybe next year we'll consider doing it over several days."
