A few empty seats even in the lower bowl and pockets of empty seats in the upper bowl but still a pretty good crowd

It's not just us. I'm watching the Ottawa game and plenty of empty seats in the lower bowl.
We are trending in the right direction attendance wise and that is what matters.

Yup watching too, @surixon your right I think the first 3 games have had good attendance and better than that the crowd seemed to be getting back into the game and not sitting on their hands, winning does that I guess
I noticed for the first three games this year our crowd has been more rambunctious than it had been in recent times (for regular season), which is good. Yes, winning helps that, but the crowd seems more into it right from the start of the games too. It’s a good thing!

I notice a difference from 2019 to now, in the number of younger fans attending. I would say seniors were a fixture at games before then. And Covid made life harder for them. But you have a generation now that have grown up with the Jets, and you need some youthful energy in the building. If I cheer too loud, I'll start coughing, old dusty lungs, so I just appreciate the spectacle., where once upon a time me and my friends would turn the decible meter up.

Since 2021 the Jets are supposed to be offering real time audio for those in attendance. Has anyone else tried using it? True North marketed this as a real time experience being able to hear the live broadcas feed, but I've yet to have it work. It's simply been nothing more than the CJOB/Power 97 broadcast running 30+seconds late.

The Flames had 3000 empty seats for the game against the Jets on Saturday. It definitely isn't only Winnipeg.
Yup, I'm seeing lots of empty seats in most games I turn on the TV. Winnipeg just seems to get focused on for whatever.

Yeah I randomly stumbled onto a Capitals game recently and it was in Washington, and tons of empty seats
@surixon comment alludes to the general forum thread saying the Jets should be moved because of our attendance problems.
Also to note, most of the empty seats you're seeing on TV are sold and empty. The difference with us right now, is they're empty and not sold.
You have anything to back that claim up? The same to some degree could be said about us, especially in the lower bowl where 99% of seats there are regularly sold.
Edit: Just went and looked at some teams ticket master. There is a tonne of blue for Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Columbus, about the same as us for Ottawa and Islanders. So no in a number of other smaller markets facing an economic alow down there are attendance issues.

That's not totally accurate. There are 7 teams selling a lower percentage of their capacity than Winnipeg right now.
By my count there are only 62 premium seats and about 400 upper bowl seat that haven't been paid for. How many show up is another matter as I'm sure a good many seat holders are trying to sell to Leaf fans at a premium.
