Christmas Comes Early in Toronto! ShowTime Visits the Santa Claus Parade!

It’s a flurry of activity at ShowTimeTickets.com’s new Toronto office this week, as the city prepares to host the 100th Grey Cup championship game on November 25. Preparations at our recently-opened location at #102-36 Charlotte Street (a block from the intersection of King Street and Spadina Avenue) are well underway and we’re getting ready to be your headquarters for tickets to the big Grey Cup game this Sunday!
JC, Operations Manager for ShowTimeTickets.com’s Toronto office, started the week off on location at the annual Santa Claus Parade in downtown Toronto and had this to say:

JC with ShowTime, our mascot!
JC with ShowTime, our mascot!

Amazing experience yesterday as we sent our ShowTimeTickets.com mascot (and mascot assistant Sara) out to participate in the festivities of the Toronto Santa Claus Parade.
Over half a million Toronto and GTA residents line up along the downtown Toronto streets to view the Santa Claus Parade yearly. The ShowTimeTickets mascot was a huge hit and was swarmed by kids of all ages wherever he went!

UFC 152 Tickets on sale now, Rory MacDonald takes verbal shot at BJ Penn

Tickets to UFC 152 in Toronto – which takes place September 22, 2012 at the Air Canada Centre – are now on sale, but the first shot has already been taken months before the first fight’s even taken place.

Earlier this week, up-and-coming welterweight fighter and Toronto native Rory MacDonald openly questioned fellow fighter BJ Penn’s commitment to preparing for their scheduled bout at UFC 152:
From MMAMania.com:

“No, that’s on him he is worried about TriStar. I don’t care about that, I fight for myself and that’s it. I am not worried about that. He is all upset because Georges whooped him, but, I am going to hurt him even worse, so. I am training for the best B.J. I am just preparing myself to be the best version. I am going to come out evolved, I am going to be in shape, explosive and exciting like I always do. I am going to be very technical and I am going to be on point. I don’t know where B.J. is at. You know, he didn’t even show up to this. He is dropping out of the VADA testing. Last time I saw him he looked really out of shape. I don’t know where his head is at in this, but, he better get serious or I am going to hurt him very badly.”

BJ Penn is coming out of retirement to face MacDonald, and this will be Penn’s first UFC bout since getting pummeled by Nick Diaz in UFC 137. It’s clear that MacDonald – one of UFC’s brightest young stars – is taking this fight seriously; do you think Penn will show up to play?
MacDonald vs Penn is only one of many big-time match-ups scheduled on the UFC 152 fight card, which includes the flyweight title match between Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson, as well as the co-main event between middleweights Michael Bisping and Brian Stann.
