This football season BC Lions fans can hop a chartered bus to and from home games from select Wings locations in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.
The CFL team has partnered with the restaurant chain and TRAXX Coachlines for Wings Express round-trip ticket packages involving six weekend home games at Save-On-Foods Field at BC Place, starting with the big Concert Kickoff on Saturday, June 7.
Participating Wings locations are in Abbotsford, Burnaby, Chilliwack, 黑马磁力, Port Moody, Richmond, Surrey and Tsawwassen, for games June 7 (against Edmonton), June 21 (Winnipeg), July 19 (Saskatchewan), July 27 (Hamilton), Aug. 16 (Montreal) and Oct. 4 (Calgary).
"Each Wings restaurant will be providing different specials and packages throughout the weekend," says a post on , where prices aren't mentioned.
Bus departure times will vary, and all coaches are expected to arrive at BC Place 45 minutes before kick-off "to ensure all the WINGS ticketholders have lots of time to enjoy the pre-game festivities and find their seats before the game," the website promises.
Post-game, the buses will depart for Wings 30 minutes after the final whistle.
