Winnipeg Attendance

It would be funny if Bettman moved the team to Phoenix.

According to the Florida Panthers season tickets website full season plans....Upper centre tix at their arena as low as $21 per game 903 per season

Florida Panthers - New Sales

panthers.c1ms.com

According to Winnipeg Jets website those same upper deck centre Ice tickets are $67 a ticket. Tickets | Winnipeg Jets | Winnipeg Jets


so I guess Skidooboy.com knows more than you do about ticket prices?


ps I never said "Average price per ticket was $20" so stop strawmanning me.

LOL...that site you used was from 2017. Way to go.

wow….multitasking again…

not sure how the panthers website led me to the 2017 season….
must have miss-clicked a link….

ok still tix are 47 us.
vs 67 in Canada plus higher taxes.

Tiny % of corporate seats and a downturn in the market will disproportionately affect small market teams.

Jets appear to be trying to focus on the gameday experience (which as a former ST holder, has been terrible) is a good sign. They should also be trying everything to get corporate support which is a lot better at withstanding market effects than individual people, particularly in a small, middle-class type city like Winnipeg.

Team is not in any real danger, but TNSE have to switch strategies, they got greedy with automatic sell-outs without even trying for the 1st 10 years.

An article came out yesterday indicating the team has the first increase in STH figures since the first sell-off, stemming the downward spiral. Apparently they had 95%+ retention of last year’s STHs, too. It’s amazing what happens when you keep prices reasonable and don't jack up the price as much as the STH contract allows!

Winnipeg is not far from putting it all together and making a good cup run

Gotta hurt that the Jets consistently put out a better on-ice product than certain big-market teams. One in particular.

Where else would you move it?










Until Jets 1.0 is in every U.S market at least once the the sports brokers won't be happy

Funny because when we re-signed Helle and Scheif all we heard was how stupid it was because we should be rebuilding. Chibrikov, Lambert, Yager, Heinola, Salomonsson. We're going to be okay.


Regarding attendance. The front office F'd it right up by not doing anything for ticket holders. They treated fans like they are lucky to have a team people are going to line up to be a season ticket holder. Gave them no perks, no appreciation. Add increased prices and STH lost interest. True North scrambling to fix the problem now.

Sounds like a problem that only $0.50 draft night can fix.... oh wait

Ah...still just pulling random numbers. Here's your simple math. Florida and Winnipeg apparently make the same.

Also, no idea where you get your ticket pricing. Do you just spin some wheel and put down what it lands on??

Your post does nothing but prove Winnipegs revenue is fine and comparable with teams that have much larger arenas that you seem to think are necessary. Jets aren't leaving Winnipeg, period.

You can spend whatever you want but there were tons of tickets on Stub Hub for $25 (American) last year. Just because you want to use Ticketmaster doesn't mean there aren't other tickets out there for cheaper

Those tickets on stub hub were already purchased at full price with revenue going to the Winnipeg Jets. Try again.

the jets are given millions a year in cash for gambling from machines, they have crazy tax breaks and they still struggle. Its not really fine

 

[tucker3434]

Winnipeg is fine. They’re aren’t going anywhere. But when people wonder why QC doesn’t get a team, it’s this. It’s a complete myth that small market Canada is high floor.

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

What even is this thread. Lol.

Jets will never leave Winnipeg. I hope they never sell out again. Cap at 13000 seats sold forever to drive the haters crazy in this thread. So good!

This has nothing to do with the post you quoted. Don't like Jets getting money from those machines at Shark Club (which is owned and operated by the Jets ownership group) then don't go there, its not hard. What about all the tax breaks pretty much all large corporations get to entice them to setup shop in cities/provinces/states, for shit low paying jobs only to hide their profits in tax shelters overseas.

Jets aren't leaving. This thread is nothing but people that always like to shit on Winnipeg.
