It's not a fail, it's a sales promotion. Lots of teams do guaranteed win nights.
I don't remember which league it was (I think the AHL), but within the last couple of years, one team did a "come back until you see a win" promotion. If you bought tickets to their guaranteed win night and they lost, you'd get free tickets to their next game, and if they lost it, you'd get free tickets to their next game, and so on until you saw the team win.
So long as you're not giving away too many tickets that you otherwise would have sold for full price, you still come out ahead based on other revenue you generate from those people at the game.

It's actually a free ticket in the same price category as the ticket the person had for yesterday's game, subject to availability:
