Zamboni Posted February 28, 2020 Report Posted February 28, 2020 Much much lower ... I bet the actual average attendance is 13 - 14,000. Just putrid. i wish the NHL would force teams to announce the actual “scanned tickets” thru the gates. And not tickets sold. I bet Florida would be 9 - 10,000 a games. Quote

It would be nice to know how many were/ are in the barn, rather than just knowing how many tix were distributed. But there is ABSOLUTELY no incentive for teams nor the league to tell us that lowered #. They want us to believe that tix are in demand and a hot commodity. Telling us (though we know) that tix can be had on weeknights for under $10 and the barn is 1/2 full does nothing to increase demand. Edited February 28, 2020 by Taro T Quote

Pro sports attendance numbers... I don't trust them. On a side note, I would never have guessed Dallas as a team with the great numbers they have this year. They have a massive spike in their numbers this year. Quote

How about putting a solid group of people in the hockey department to run this team. It’s like it’s okay not to be good! You want change. If I was paying thousands to see this organization continue through the motions of putting a ***** product on the ice year in and year out I would give up my seats. Then maybe just maybe they will demand more from top to bottom. The hockey department seems like they don’t have a clue. Edited February 29, 2020 by SabresBillsFan Quote
Stoner Posted February 29, 2020 Report Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) I had to chuckle at this headline on WGR's site: Sabres increase pricing options for season ticket holders Edited February 29, 2020 by PASabreFan Quote

LabattBlue Posted February 29, 2020 Author Report Posted February 29, 2020 Disaster scenario for the ticket office staff...1000-2000(or more) drop in STH + ridiculously priced single game tickets = embarrassing crowds, even if the Sabres get off to a good start. In the event that they somehow become a playoff contender in 20-21, I could see them offer season tickets(at the STH price) for the second half of the season just in order to get people in the seats.

Gatorman0519 Posted February 29, 2020 Report Posted February 29, 2020 When the Sabres are winning we were easily top 10 in attendance. Quote

Zamboni Posted March 4, 2020 Report Posted March 4, 2020 Well, I just got my Sabres invoice in the mail today for next season… My season tickets went up $218. Over the course of 41 home games that’s $5.31 more per game. For two seats in section 320. Dead center ice. not happy about the increase… But I also think it could be a lot worse, and I know some other sections got hit worse than I did. Sigh ... Quote

LabattBlue Posted March 4, 2020 Author Report Posted March 4, 2020 I don't want to start another thread on this, but I'd love to know the plans of members who are also STH'ers? Renew, downgrade(reduce number of seats/move to cheaper seats) or cancel? I dropped out of my group two years ago, and know the remainder of the group is dissolving...from what I hear. Quote

No matter their record. Because, well, I kinda like the sport and my wife and I like to go. We don’t spend our time or money on bars, or other sports. This is our one “vice”. Next season, if you want to buy a 10 pack from me at my STH cost, let me know in a PM. Quote
Taro T Posted March 27, 2020 Report Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Looks like they're pushing the renewal date back to May 22. Edited March 27, 2020 by Taro T Quote
