This. Imagine trying to bring a family of four.Good. They can't continue to gouge the fan base year after year and think fans will continue to let them take them to the woodshed every game night. Watching at home is so much better these days than paying $13 for a beer $25 for parking $10 for a bag of 50 cents popcorn and then a couple hundred for average tickets.
No thanks, rather watch at home.
Flames have a monster 19,289 capacity rink. For their population size, I’d say it’s too large and obviously the rink is too old.
I attend quite a few games a season and honestly, they sell out. The only available seats are generally in the nose bleeds that have an obstructed view. Not selling out 2000+ seats that feels like you’re scaling a mountain to get to your seat with awful sight-lines isn’t a problem.
The important thing is they sell out the expensive tickets and the boxes which is way more important to the bottom line.

Also the Canadian economy is failing right now, and Canadians already have record levels of debt.
Non-sellouts have everything to do with economic conditions and not the popularity of the sport.
There’s tickets available everywhere though. Even up north there’s tons of available seats for tomorrow’s game against the same opponents and they have McDavid. Watching from tv, I didn’t see a ton of available seats. So to me, I think it’s a sell out by today’s standards.No they don't. I was going to go to tonight's game and there were tickets available every where.
Yeah right sport! every lower bowl seat is taken and attendance tonight was 17,800 ish. pretty good for a tuesday night against a so-so non playoff teamNo they don't. I was going to go to tonight's game and there were tickets available every where.
If only there was some way people would come back...I would say overall the NHL has attendance issues. Simply put the on-ice product isn't worth the price 9/10 games.
