Buy out a bunch of old school buses, paint em up right and get Jets fans from all around to support the team. This should help the Jets sell out every game.
Targets could include places like Grand Forks, Kenora, Carmen, Brandon etc.
If any of you have ever been on a pub crawl you know how fun drinking on the bus is.

Selling jets tours in MN, ND, Northern ON, SK and rural MB would be a good idea. For example Beaver bus tours or Fehr-way or whatever tourbus companies there are. Include the casinos, festivals, museum tours in the package. Perhaps the new NHL team and the Blue Bombers could join forces. Picture it: an ad in the Fargo daily newspaper in November: Winnipeg Jets tours 4 day package including tickets to Jets vs New Jersey Devils and Western Final Blue Bombers vs Edmonton Eskimoes, accomodation at Canadinns Polo Park (I would prefer the Fort Gary or Inn at the fork... but whatever) tickets to the Museum or whatever (bus departures to the casinos, the forks whatever toots your whistle) etc. Brought to you by the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club, Winnipeg Football Club, and Beaver Bus Tours.

The only source of revenue I see from this is the sale of the Jets tickets at probably less then face value to fit into your package

I wonder what it costs for a bus and bus licence these days?

I don't even think you would need the 4 day trip for rural Manitobans, weekend overnighters would do. I could see a buses originating in Brandon, near Killarney, and near Russell. A Brandon bus should fill up by itself, Killarney bus would get everyone from the SW through Morden/Winkler/Carmen. The Russell bus would get everyone from NW through Neepawa-Portage..I could even see people from Yorkton SK getting aboard this route. Throw in a little gambling, HNIC, shopping for the wifes, hotels, not only good for the Jets but good for the city.
I know if there was a party bus from Regina I would be on board a couple of times/year.
