Ticket/Attendance Discussion: The Sequel

[imec]

The real concern is gov't leadership that is why the Canadian dollar is in the tank. Remember when the CDN dollar was at par ... what changed?

Not sure what you’re getting at here. The most dramatic decline of CDN$ occurred between 2011 and 2015.

The strong CDN dollar was one of the reasons why the Atlanta franchise moved to Winnipeg.
Dec 31 2011 CDN dollar 1.01
Dec 31 2012 CDN dollar 1.00
Dec 31 2013 CDN dollar .97 ... the decline started and we were warned

I don't understand how the businesses in Winnipeg do not support the Jets more ... without the Jets I'm pretty sure a lot of them would make less of a profit or maybe not even be in business. Every bar in Winnipeg that has the Jet games on the big screen should have season tickets and give them out to their patrons.
But seriously the Jets are the best team in the league it should bring happy times but no lets bring up doom and gloom.

The price of crude oil is what really changed. Inflation-adjusted it was at near-historic highs for almost a decade, until the bottom fell out of the oil market in mid-2014 and as a result, by 2015 the CAD had lost its steam.

If these tariffs go thru some are saying the dollar will fall even further. League might have to do something for the 7 markets who are at a disadvantage right now and could become even worse.

Got my renewal package from the Jets yesterday. Modest increase in my ticket costs for next season. Hopefully they're able to land more season seat sales next season.

Yup, got my season ticket package and we'll be renewing again. Possibly upgrading to a bit better seats too.

By the way, the cheapest season tickets are
$1822 full season
$1037 half season
$513 quarter season

Those are roughly $40-50 per ticket per game and you get playoff ticket access too - very reasonable in my opinion!

For those on the fence, I really recommend it. You get in the building a bunch of times a year and watch our marvelous team play some great hockey games. Also, a deposit on tickets gets you priority access to playoffs THIS year too.

The coasters they sent were sick. Approx $240 increase per seat up top for us. Not the worst but will be expecting a big jump in the next couple years.

Exactly this. $513 for a quarter is great value IMO, you're sitting up top (no bad seat in the building), you get discounted food/drink and you can get some cool giveaways each year. I'm sure lots of people would love to get into the building 11 nights a year vs spending the same money for 2 game in the lower bowl.
