Sens attendance tracker

The blue Jays only had about 10,000 for their Monday night game. They Dorioned their roster and this is the fan reaction. This is supposed to be something that can only happen in Ottawa according to some people here. Evidently, its not.

Hockey is a Canadian sport. Baseball is not. That was too easy.

NHL ≠ Hockey

Canadian's love hockey, but there are lots of ways we can and should support hockey without shelling out hundreds of dollars to help a former billionaire who has no interest in building a winner, supporting this community, and who has on multiple occasions, shown himself to be an out-of-touch, egotistical, miserable person, turn a profit.

NHL is a business. Hockey is a sport and passion. They're not the same.

If you love hockey, take the money you would have spent on tickets and support our youth programs. Donate to the Condors...

Unless its the 67s, then you have no interest.

Love that your argument is basically "because nationalism".

I am a U.S. citizen, guess I am in the clear not supporting the Sens.

Right. Just going on what Molson taught me for many years. And Tim Hortons . And CBC. TSN. Sportsnet.

I don't care for junior hockey. Love my Sens, and the Leitrim Hawks.

I know people in Ottawa love empty seats elsewhere as I guess it makes them feel better. Glad it gives you a good case of the feels

TSN told me if you don't like junior hockey you aren't Canadian enough.

Love the World Juniors. Just don't go to 67s games

I wonder if the team sold seasons tickets without the month of November in there if that could catch on with the fans. Need to start thinking practically here

 

[mysens]

It was empty there last night, No traffic going to the game, or approaching the parking lots and the Valet line was unusually quiet. Hardly any lineups to the washrooms. I think the fans already caught on about the November slides.

If the Sens did a tailgate at the arena it would be a sell out every game. at least in a October, November, March, April and all the playoff games and Leafs/Hans games

Nothing the Sens can do inside the arena regardless of how the team is playing would sell more tickets then tailgating

Melnyck got us focused on “government tickets” when in reality just make it more fun, more inclusive, let people live a game day experience and be able to participate in the event instead of being asked to sit and more people will go.

They would never do that lol. This isn't a fun city or team so they won't have the resources to control that type of event.

I wish, but I'll doubt you'll ever see the senators invite all fans to come to the premise earlier and bring your own barbecue and your own beer and just have a great time.

The amount of security needed for the drunk people and the cleanup crew for all the waste... I don't think they would want to hire all that.

I’ve only seen people do it at playoff games, and it was likely more on weekends.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

They need to have a program where a Senators employee will go to the game and sit in your seat for you.

I would switch to full season tickets but I feel I'd miss too many games because come gameday I dread having to go to Kanata and (worse) come home from Kanata at 11PM. If I knew a certified Usher could sit in my seat and text me live updates about things like whether they resolved to bite the bullet and pay $15 for a small bowl of Lonestar Branded nachos, or how they were ready to do whatever it took to grab one of the shirts Spartacat shoots, but he was too shook to send it to their section, then I would buy more tickets.

If any the Sens head of marketing reads this (I assume an intern from Algonquin or that college that used to be in St Laurent mall), my DMs are open.
