nyr7andcounting said:We don't know if there were replacement events, what they were or when they were. But in all probability suites to those 41 events probably weren't as valuable as suites to 41 Kings games and most of those suites were purchased with the Kings in mind.
Then they shouldn't pay again if they are not happy.
So, some % of whatever amount would normally be attributed as Kings revenues should be refunded if for no other reason than good PR. Why are the Kings taking in ticket revenue when they haven't played a game? No reason not to give a little back.
Except that events are often worth more than the Kings games. See U2 below (not say U2 is/isn't a replacement event).
Or, your idea really isn't that bad. Suites to the 41 replacement events are probably cheaper than suites for the 41 Kings game, so doing that would be the same as just a straight up refund. Good idea.
Average kings ticket price is $46.63
The U2 ticket prices go from $90-1700

A suite to U2 is $9,095.00 (12 seat suite).
How much do you think a Kings game suite costs?

You could get a Kings suite for $3000 form the above site when the NHL was playing.

lists Staples luxury boxes at $200K-300K
What does that make a U2 concert worth? 3-10x as much as a Kings game?
