Frequently asked questions
I sponsored a seat years ago, is my name plate being removed?
Do I have to repurchase my seat every year?
No. The LegaSeat program is a permanent sponsorship program. You only have to purchase it once and it will live on in West Lincoln's history.
Does sponsorship mean I have a reserved seat for every arena event?
No. The LegaSeat sponsorship program is not the same as purchasing season's tickets. Your name will be displayed proudly on a plaque on the seat, however, this doesn't mean you have reserved rights to the seat if someone is already sitting in it.
Where does the money raised from these sponsorships go?
The original seat sponsorship program, which ran in 2019, was part of the $1.5 million fundraising campaign for the new West Lincoln Community Centre facility.
Now, all funds raised through seat sponsorship go into a general facility revenue account, helping to pay for operating and maintenance costs.
