They wonder how many people will put their money where their mouth is?

I've had season tickets for 27 years but I sell a lot of them because I find it a hassle more often than not and I get up too early!

If you have to sign up to spend $10K a year for 5 years and be faithful ... I'm not sure how solid that fan base is.

It's a real concern, and Calgary isn't immune to it.

You need to get bad, and then stay bad but exciting because of who you add, and then have it look like a light at the end of the tunnel early even if it takes 5 years.
I guess it’s how you package it then. We’re going on 4 years now of being out of the playoffs. Is selling the current product to season ticket holders more attractive?
