How so? To the same point last year? Less comped tickets? So far they are averaging 11,717, which is lower than last year's average, but attendance does pick up in the winter.

Putting Phoenix Coyotes Attendance Figures in Context
http://thehockeywriters.com/putting-...gures-context/
With five home games already played in the 2013-14 season, the Coyotes appear to have regressed slightly. At the time of this post, the team is averaging 12,833 per game, a drop of slightly over 1000. While that may seem to be cause for alarm, let’s take a look at how these figures stack up against the first five home games of each season since 2009.
Small sample size aside, the Phoenix Coyotes attendance figures should instill some confidence in their fans. Much like the holistic season figures, the numbers are trending positively as each season progresses. Even more importantly, there is a noticeable difference in early season attendance averages and whole season attendance averages. This means that the Phoenix Coyotes tend to draw more fans later on in the year.
