ANCHOR AUCTION
Anchor Auction is the game-day silent auction that gives fans the chance to bid on exclusive Kraken gear, signed items, and experiences throughout the season. Net proceeds go back to our community and help One Roof Foundation achieve our vision of a world where all kids have a roof over their heads, access to play, and clean air to breathe.
Unless otherwise indicated, auctions open 30 minutes before doors open the day of each game, and end 2 hours after the game’s start time. So, for a 7:00pm game, Anchor Auction will open at 5:00pm and close automatically at 9:00pm. All times are listed in the Pacific time zone.
