Sarnia, ON – RBC Centre Sarnia General Manager Jacques Beaulieu has announced this morning that the facility has decided to waive the two dollar parking fee for all Sarnia Sting home games that was originally announced in August.

Beaulieu has released the following statement on behalf of the facility;

 “We are aware our original concept of charging for parking at the RBC Centre for Sting games is one that has been met with concern from our fans more specifically our loyal season ticket holders.  The original plan to charge for parking is something we felt that we needed to implement to generate revenue in an effort to offset operating losses that our ownership group has had to endure since our facility opened its doors back in 1998.  However after careful consideration and deliberation between our senior management and ownership we have come to the decision that with the best interest of our fans in mind we will waive the parking fee and the RBC Centre will continue to be one of the few facilities in the Ontario Hockey League that will offer free on site parking. In the meantime the RBC Centre plans to work with the City to look at alternatives to ensure the long term viability of the Centre.”

 Any customer who had previously purchased a $50 parking pass that was designed to offer season ticket holders a discount for parking will be given a refund in full through the RBC Centre Box Office.
