Average ticket prices are much lower:
http://www.fancostexperience.com/pag...020_pdf001.pdf
Flames are $66.35 and Jets are $97.84.
Flames = $66.35 x 45 games x 19,289 seats = = $57,592,131.70
Jets = $97.84 x 45 games x 15,003 seats = = $66,055,208.40
Then take a team like San Jose, a middle of the pack team:
Sharks = $51.47 x 44 games x 17,496 seats = $39,622,841.30
So in ticket sales the Jets are $25 million ahead of the Sharks but nobody would ever say the Sharks are in danger of moving. Fact is, the Jets will never be an upper-range team in revenue but they should comfortably be in that 10-20 range as long as they're in Winnipeg. They're not in danger of moving now or anytime down the road, particularly with the casino subsidy and investment in the arena district. |
Reasonable, but not quite. FCI does not include luxury suites, nor does it include "premium seating". i.e.: It is very likely that their average price excludes the club seats.
The Saddledome has 72 suites, and I think 8 of those single-rental boxes at the hupper corners, while MTS has, iirc, 46 suites. Those 26 extra suites make a significant difference. I'm unsure about San Jose. I could't find an exact number of suites, but their website says they go for $130,000 each this season.
