New TiqIQ Connect app brings your social network to Preds games

The gang at TiqIQ is cooking up some pretty cool stuff these days. Let's say you're thinking about buying tickets to an upcoming Preds game. With their new TiqIQ CONNECT app, you can see which of your Facebook friends are already going to the game, and where they'll be sitting. If you want to find seats near (or in some cases, on the other side of the arena from) them, you can do that easily.

In exchange for signing up for this new service, TiqIQ is offering up a bonus, too - here's the scoop:

We're excited to launch a new Facebook application called TiqIQ CONNECT. Unlike the majority of other widgets/applications, this one is pretty cool--not obtrusive--and useful (promise).

Using the app, you can now check-in (in advance) to any Predators game letting your friends know which games you are going to and where you will be sitting... if you're planning on going... or if you're just watching from home you can also update that. TiqIQ Connect even provides a thumbnailed seat view on your wall so friends can find you, or purchase a ticket near you. Every time you RSVP to a game, you'll be entered to win $200 toward the purchase of tickets via TiqIQ. Good deal, right?

Just click the picture below to update your RSVP status for tonight's game- and let your friends know where you're sitting. You'll also receive discounts on tickets throughout the remainder of the playoffs and next season right to your Facebook inbox.

So whether you're heading downtown for Game Five tonight or not, make sure to RSVP and take your shot at winning $200 towards a future purchase! We do know, after all, that Game Five won't be the last playoff game at Bridgestone Arena this spring...
