No one can ever expect CSEC to do anything to gain or protect current ticket buyers. They operate as a business and have shown almost zero ability to pivot or be proactive in keeping/attaining new fans in a changing sports market.
They have a simple profit maxing strategy that takes their current ticket buying base and does everything to extract as much as they can from that. No forward thinking, no understanding of what is happening to pro sports, no understanding that the new generation is pretty underwhelmed by pro sports.
They just don't understand or care about getting people in to make them lifelong, season ticket buying fans or retain them at a discount. I mean they are still doing the outdated "15000 seats sold for $650k is better than 19289 seats sold at $750k" approach to pricing tickets. They're dinosaurs, it's just more amplified at Stamps games than Flames games, to the point where only hardcore, longtime Stamps fans have ANY interest in attending games and therefore following the team. You literally can't get in the building for under $40 now after fees, in the far reaches on ****ing high school bleachers. They are ****ing braindead.
