The 1997 Flames were a hard sell. Even by today's standards.
1996-97 - 73 points
1997-98 - 67 points
And the Canadian dollar was in free fall an there were even darker times ahead for the franchise.
Despite this, the attendance numbers were not terrible given the ticket prices.
1996-97 - 17,088
1997-98 - 16,864
But that wouldn't last in the seasons that followed and the Flames would have to practically give tickets away.
But I agree the Flames will not be able to sustain attendance at the current ticket prices.
