United Center Introduces Exclusive Harris Club
Season tickets for Harris Club now on sale

CHICAGO, May 5, 2008 - The United Center and Harris announced today the creation of an exclusive club for fans to experience Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks games - the Harris Club. With construction slated to be completed by the summer, the new Club will offer fans for the first time a luxurious executive suite experience at a fraction of the cost of suite ownership.

"The Harris Club is a fantastic addition to a world class facility in the NBA and NHL," said Justine Fedak, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Customer Strategies, Harris. "Harris is Chicago's hometown bank and official bank of the Bulls, so sponsoring the Club and helping create an entertainin g and relaxing environment for fans -- many of whom are our clients -- is a perfect fit for us."

Located in the west end of the United Center's Club Suite Level, membership to the Harris Club will include:

• 45 Bulls and 45 Blackhawks pre-season and regular season games
• Buffet-style dining with all beverages included at no additional charge
• One parking pass for every two seats purchased
• Three bars located within the Club
• Lounge atmosphere with couches, flat screen televisions, pool table and other amenities
• Ample room to circulate within the Club

Membership to the Club can be purchased for one, three or five-year terms. Tickets for the 2008-09 season are available for $15,750/seat for the season (only $175/seat per game) with no limits on how many seats fans can purchase.

"When we opened the United Center, we heard from many of our guests who said that they wanted to watch the Bulls, Hawks, or experience concerts in a suite-like environment, but who didn't need the 12 to 14 seats that come with a suite," said Steve Schanwald, Senior Vice President of Marketing for the United Center. "This new product will fill the needs of those fans."

Harris Club members will also have the opportunity to purchase tickets to other United Center events such as concerts and college basketball games.

Additionally, the Harris Club will also offer two, private, 20-person arena view meeting rooms, fully equipped with state-of-the-art presentation technology supported by IT and administrative professionals. The two unique meeting rooms will be available to purchase during United Center events and also on non-event days.

Purchasing a meeting room will also include 20 tickets to the Harris Club, four parking passes and access to food and beverages in the Club . To ensure privacy for the guests, the arena view rooms will be glass-enclosed. Members of the Harris Club will have first priority in reserving the rooms.

For more information or to purchase a membership to the exclusive Harris Club, please call the United Center's Premium Seating Department at (312) 455-4500 or e-mail premiumseating@unitedcenter.com.
