Financial Boycott of Melnyk-owned Senators

[Uchiha]

Melnyk has made it clear that he’s only focused on icing the cheapest team possible and doesn’t care about winning. I won’t be supporting this team financially tickets + merchandise but will continue to follow them and hope that the team is sold.

Also, just to be clear, boycotting Melnyk doesn’t make you a bad fan in my eyes. We want better for this team.

Oh crap I did it wrong.

I blame Melnyk.

 

[Laphroaig]

My Melnyk inspired boycott started under Bryan Murray's reign of error and will continue until the team is sold.

 

[Deku]

f*** I accidentally voted "yes" because I thought the question was "will you boycott?"

You can change your vote now I think.

 

[Deku]

You can change your vote now I think.

Ayyy I see that now thank you

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

I guess you can chalk me up, but more because I live in the Yukon, and I use free streams for viewing. I gave up buying much for memorabilia a while ago now.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I’m out of town so I don’t get to spend as much, but my boycott of spending on anything Sens started last year so it will continue.

And I’ve said once Melnyk sells I’m making the 10 hour car ride out there, buying a lower level ticket to a game and grabbing 10 egg rolls and 5 beers there. Or was it 10 beers and 5 egg rolls? Either way, you’ll get my money!

 

[dumbdick]

I feel like I have to double down to cover a few of you.

 

[Heady Topper]

Not a dime from me last season, and nothing until the team is sold.

ROFL. This is a terribly worded poll.

 

[Uchiha]

ROFL. This is a terribly worded poll.

Send these poll numbers to your boss Mr Melnyk and report back to us what his reaction is.

People on the internet are obviously not reflective of real life, that's why there are 300,000 season ticket holders for the Sens this year.

To be honest though, I'm actually surprised at how many season ticket holders there still are.

Count is rubbing off on you

 

[BonkTastic]

I bought Cirque du Soleil tickets yesterday for my wife and I for the show next week, but I see that less as supporting Melnyk, and more as supporting our future owners (hopefully, someday...), so I don't feel too bad about it.

Certainly not spending any money on Sens-related stuff until this team can get it's head out of the sand and admit it's 2018 and this isn't the way a modern NHL team is supposed to be run.

I think your sarcasm detector is broken.

 

[Stylizer1]

Concerts too?

 

[SENSability]

I live in Toronto and as much as I dislike Melnyk, I will still get Center Ice so that I can watch the Sens. I don't want to see Ottawa lose their team, which could well happen if they don't have any support. If I lived in Ottawa I would go to a few games a year.

 

[Peptic Balcers]

Sens are typically a 18 000- 19 300 average attendance team, this year it was 15829. How low do we have to go to send a message? Sub 15 000?

1. I imagine like me there are a lot of people with relatives & friends who live somewhere else who like to go to games when they visit here & will likely go to games with them when they visit.
2. Are we boycotting concerts & other events at the CTC or just hockey games? What if your favourite band is coming to the CTC, should we go or should we stay?
3. How many people have kids who could care less who the owner is & probably don't even know & will pressure their parents to take them to hockey games or buy them Sens souvenirs? How many parents will buy their kids tickets/souvenirs as gifts because they know that's what the kids want?
4. What if EM still owns the team next yr & the yr after that, how long does the boycott go on & we still aren't going to games? What if the team starts to get really good again but EM is still the owner do we still boycott the games?
5. What if EM builds an arena downtown, but still owns the team, do we still boycott the team & the new arena? What if EK is traded & EM still owns the team & they still build a new arena downtown, do we still boycott the new arena?
6, Do we boycott the arena until EK is re-signed or forever or until their is a new arena, what are the parameters of this boycott?

 

[Emerica]

I haven't spent a dime on this organization since early 2015 I believe.

 

[Stuzchuk]

no more merch for me, and me and my brother canceller our trip to OTT next year

#f***melnyk

 

[Micklebot]

Concerts too?

CTC has terrible acoustics, not a great place to see a concert anyways. The Algonquin Commons Theatre and the NAC are much better venues if you value sound quality.

 

[SpezDispenser]

No more merchandise, not more paying to go to games, nothing. Screw you Melnyk.
