yes, mac, now that you mention it, i got an e-mail on monday from tickethorse about ordering tickets. it seems rapids season ticket holders could begin ordering tickets on monday, and holders of visa credit cards could begin ordering on tuesday. then the public can begin ordering on wednesday. the e-mail i received did not include a time the tickets are supposed to go on sale wednesday. this is a change from the information i received last week from the rapids.
