Got 4 tickets to the home opener, and was surprised by two things...cost for a good upper deck seat $137 a piece before taxes. For someone who shelled out the $30 dollars at 7-11 for a pair of upper deck seats in the 90s I was surprised at how far the prices have gone up.
Secondly, there is thousands of tickets still available, it seems.
Yeah True North can mitigate attendance losses, especially with playoff appearances, but the league itself has got to be looking at us, wondering if it's time to go. Cities with more corporate affluence can probably easily reach our attendance numbers, if not exceed them. True North is pushing a price point that is probably not sustainable given the economic stresses many people are facing.
