As an Ice Caps season ticket holder, this bites.
The stadium has been sold out for EVERY game (~6200 seats) since the team was established and demand for tickets is ridiculous. I can usually sell my tickets for ~25% more than face value when I don't use them. I can understand why the Jets organization wants to make the move, but this certainly is a kick in the nuts to the current fan base.
I really hope the AHL recognizes that there's a strong market for AHL hockey in St. John's and gets a team here as soon as the Jets are gone.
