Pretty damn impressive to see 2/3 of the league essentially selling out on a nightly basis. The league has come a very long way in a short period of time.

I'm pretty sure that many teams only count seats in their capacity and not standing room. At Scotiabank Place I believe a sellout is 19,300 (or something) but the arena can hold up to 20,500 once standing room is included.

Also, is this the first time in the past few years that the Flames have averaged below a sellout? I always seem to remember the Flames attendance being an average of 100% or up ever since the lockout.

The Flames are still at the 19,289 (100%) they've been at since the lockout.

Last season, they didn't include the Heritage and Winter Classics in their host team's attendance, but they did again this year, which is why Philly's percentage is so high.

Ahh, okay the OP's numbers included both home and away games. When I went to the link I saw that Calgary's home attendance is still 100%. Thanks.

Why does calgary lie about their attendance. There are clearly seats in the press level available for every weekday game.

It's not just Calgary. When I went to the Sens and Flames game there was an entire row of empty seats near me in the 300s yet the attendance was 20,500. It could be scalpers that weren't able to sell their seats, particularly for weeknight games. I know many scalpers offer to sell weeknight games for cheap on Stubhub of Kijiji or whatever, and don't care if they do not sell because they make all their money off big game and weekend tickets. So those seats could be sold but not occupied.

All teams post tickets distributed, not turnstile count. As far as the Flames are concerned for one example, the west 300s are all sold tickets to Sport Chek regardless of whether Sport Chek can re-sell them. The Flames distribute all 19,289 tickets they make available to the games so that is the number they report.

Haha, you wish!

I think there is a decimal missing there.

Azure · 03-14-2012, 07:39 PM

They probably sell that many tickets each game. Obviously not as many people are there though.

Bettman: "With the right ownership group, Phoenix can be a viable, successful franchise"

Give it up all ready. Take solace in the fact that there have been a number of successful franchises within the sun-belt of America on your watch. Nashville, LA, San Jose. Unfortunately, Phoenix has not been one of them. Time to move on.

Sad to see the Jets barely doing better than the likes of the Blue Jackets even though they are selling out games. Why didn't they future proof a little better and build a slightly bigger arena on the chance the Jets would be back instead of having an arena that isn't even 10 years old and is one of the smallest in the league now. Even seats less than the old Winnipeg Arena

Barely doing better? WIN is top ten in revenues because they charge high ticket prices. They don't want a larger rink. Demand is high, because supply is low.
