Drop them by 10%...........might be worth it. Drop the price by 50%, the Flames current strategy is clearly better. All depends on where you think that break point is to sell out the building, but it's very easy to argue that given just how expensive the tickets are, that selling out the building at the level they have has been very profitable for them, and a solid choice.

Fair enough - not hard to argue that the org is going to look to maximize profit. Regardless i was surprised (justifiably or not) when they sent the notification on price increase for our tickets for playoffs.
Maybe im just demoralized that the bldg isnt full (yet) and take that to mean the fanbase is throwing in the towel, which i dont truly beleive is the case. Plenty of factors in play as noted in this thread. And yes i realize that fans can be fans without buying tickets.
Truthfully as long as those in attendance are loud having a few hundred empty seats isnt as big a deal as im making it my head.
