Prince George, B.C. – The deadline to sign up to be  first in line for  2015 Canada Winter Games tickets is looming.

"It's a pre- registration process that we've set up for Northern B.C. residents to basically  put them  at the front of the line when tickets go on sale" says Alyson Gourley-Cramer, Manager of Communications and Community  Relations for the 2015 Games.

Tickets  for the 18 different  sporting events will be going on sale in the fall,  but  she  says the pre-registration means  Northern BC residents will get first crack at the best seats available. "When the tickets go on sale,  those who pre-registered will get an email telling them the tickets are available, and there will be a window of opportunity  for them to buy  the tickets they want.  Once that window closes, tickets will be made available to everyone  else."

Pre-registering indicates you are interested in attending an event or events during the 2015 Games and that you would like to receive information on tickets, as they become available.There is no cost associated with pre-registration. "We've already had more than a thousand people register"says Gourley Cramer.

Pre-registering is as easy as following this link, but time is running out. The  window for the pre-registration  option  closes ast 11:59 p.m. Pacific Standard time  tonight.
