I know people don't like the attendance stuff from me but I wonder if this is a time the Calgary Flames actually take action against failing attendance. Historically there isn't reason to believe there will be a lot more ticket sales after the initial purchase rush.
Right now we're looking at about 25k, with the upper corners not even being opened for sale (which has been the case most of the season). Man, it would be nice if they just took and bit of a hit to get some people back in the stands and get some excitement going again.
Take advantage of the situation and think of the future instead of just the current bottom line. I'd imagine we'll probably see another thousand or two seats sold (based on usual playoff selling trends) and will have around 27k, so just over 2/3's full.
