It looks like ticket prices were pretty high for today's game (I don't know what they were for the preseason game). The alcohol-free family zone was $49 per ticket, and all the rest were $99. With the slowdown in the oilpatch, disposable income might not be what they thought it would be when they scheduled the game.

Also, from the highlights, it looked like the stands were filled up on the side where the cameras were, which makes sense since it looks like they were at least partially shaded and where the main concourse is located.

Regardless of whatever excuses they have, having an official attendance of 4,900 has to be disappointing.

Also, if the WHL was giving consideration to putting a team up there, I wonder if this gives them second thoughts? That would be a long way for teams to drive in the middle of winter to play in an empty building.
