Phoenix Fans Would Like To See More Discounted Tickets

from Mike Sunnucks of the Phoenix Business Journal,
Coyotes personnel and fans at Jobing.com Arena hopes the team’s 6-2 start, including Thursday’s overtime win over the Detroit Red Wings, will help boost attendance. Canadian sports network TSN ranks the Coyotes the third-best team in the NHL right now, behind only the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins.
Fans at the Coyotes-Red Wings game also wanted to see the team offer more discounts and make lower-level seats less expensive in general.
Lower-levels seats at the Glendale arena run $55 to $95 each, while upper-deck seats are between $15 and $35. The team runs some upper-level ticket discounts that include food for $25 to $30 per person.
On opening night, lower-level seats were discounted to $25 and upper-level tickets were $15. The Coyotes sold out that game, with 17,532 fans in the seats. In contrast, Thursday’s game drew 11,900, with the upper level substantially fuller than the lower bowl—and a fair number of Detroit fans in attendance.
Maria Maskell, a 10-year Coyotes season ticket holder, would like to see the team do more promotions to help fill the lower levels and suites.

I’ve been seeing a lot of semi-empty arenas for competitive teams. On a friday night the arena should be packed. I just saw the colorado game and it had a ton of empty seats; atlanta the other night had sections empty, not sure of the attendance in tonights st. louis game.
This is why teams should do something like they do in Pittsburgh (or did); “student rush”; sell leftover seats to students for around 15-20 bucks in the lower bowls. So at least it doesn’t look so bad.
I must say…the Coyotes were MORONS to not build their arena in downtown phoenix. Glendale is full of the kind of fairweather people that kill a team.
