If you follow the AHL stats, they average 4000ish, however still always looks empty. My row sometimes me and my buddy are the only ones in it, but all of the seats are "Sold" when I looked at the playoff tickets a lot of sections were completely sold out.
I would like to see a bigger push put on to let people know there is playoff hockey, there doesn't seem to be any marketing behind this at all, nothing to get people excited to go. I think even if they did low priced tickets most of the general public/casual fans wouldn't even know about it, so then same attendance with a lower gross.
