The Humboldt Broncos have announced the schedule for their first round playoff series against the rival Melfort Mustangs.

Game 1 of the best-of-seven series will be Friday, March 16 at the Northern Lights Palace in Melfort.

The two teams will play at the Palace once again on Saturday before the series shifts to Humboldt on March 20 and 21.

Games 5 through 7 - if necessary, will be played March 24 in Melfort, March 26 in Humboldt, and March 28 in Melfort.

The club has also announced a new ticket promo for the playoffs, involving a pair of Broncos supporters.

Advance tickets can be purchased at either the Co-op C-Store, or Johnny's Bistro, which will help you score a deal at both businesses.

The C-Store will give you $2 off your fuel purchase, while Johnny's Bistro will take $5 off your meal with a ticket purchase.

Buying in advance will also save some cash in your pocket, as prices remain at regular season levels of $15 for adults, $10 for students, and $5 for children.

The Broncos say gate prices - tickets bought while heading to the game - will increase by $2 each.
