Why do I think this is going to back fire on them in a big way?

Mod Edit: I don't care what they're saying over on the Ottawa boards. Bringing posts over from their boards is against the Rules.

They tried something similar back in the days when they met in the playoffs.

Failed needless to say.

 

[Pi]

That's just funny and sad at the same time.

 

[stish]

That's just an embarrassing e-mail for Ottawa fans.

 

[DD03]

That's just an embarrassing e-mail for Ottawa fans.

For who??

 

[legendinblue]

Too funny.

 

[Faustus]

Can hardly blame them. Their captain gets booed in their own barn.

 

[The Missing Piece]

For who??

Haha I really do think that both of their season ticket holders are going to be overwhelmed buying up the rest of the tickets.

 

[Slot]

Will they never learn?

Yep.

What they did was try to ban Leafs gear in their arena. The catch was that you had to donate canned goods. Needless to say, the Ottawa Food Bank made a good run with this.

The article is ridiculous in any event. So the Sens are gonna cancel tickets that have been re-sold to someone? Do they really want to lose that much money?

 

[The CyNick]

If I had the money I would buy every ticket on the secondary ticket market and bus up leafs fans

 

[member 147413]

Krusty sucks!

 

[SeenSchenn2]

There would be like 3 people there if we didn't show.

 

[Hurt]

That's an embarrassment to the Senators franchise.

 

[Terrence]

I was gonna go on the 23rd, but I won't be in Ottawa that weekend.

It's pretty sick because the Leafs seem to beat them every time they're there.

 

[My Sweet Shadow]

Haha I really do think that both of their season ticket holders are going to be overwhelmed buying up the rest of the tickets.

Or at least one of them...50% fan attendance ain't bad.

 

[Ari91]

That's embarassing

The cherry on top isn't that they're asking season ticket holders to not resell to Leafs fans but that they're actually threatening to yank benefits away from them if they do. If I were a STH, I'd feel pretty disrespected that the organization is taking my money and then telling me what I can do with my tickets and further threatening to cut my privelages if I don't use the tickets I PAID FOR, in the manner they want me to.

 

[Metroid]

Well, there are 32 of us heading up for the April 20th show.
Standing area party. Can't wait.

 

[AINEC*]

That's pretty pathetic.

 

[colchar]

The article is ridiculous in any event.

The article isn't ridiculous, the plan by the Sens is.

 

[Felstead]

Now that the Senators have made it known they’re attempting to stop an impending wave from Leafland — well, a week Saturday it’ll be fun to watch them try. All they can do now is call in the extra security, brace for the tsunami and buy earplugs for their beloved, beleaguered Alfie

Sens... Thats just a joke. Good way to embarrass your loyal fans who actually welcome leaf fans into their building.

I'm sure it would be sweet victory if the sens won on home ice and 2/3 of the crowd being leaf fans that they get to rip into.

Your asking for a Scotiabank Robbery here, the Tsunami is gonna hit next week and their isn't gonna be much they can do about it.

 

[Poignant Discussion*]

20% off Leaf tickets, I'm there

 

[Drew311]

Is this not discrimination to some degree?

 

[SteveV*]

What a pathetic organization, "ugly sister" syndrome.

 

[Rob Brown]

Hilarious.
