That’s good that they are selling more tickets, but if they have any hope of making money the team will need to at least double ticket costs. Season tickets for the Coyotes are so increadibly cheap that an extra 1000 sold doesn’t really bring in much revenue. It’s a step in the right direction, there’s just a really long way to go.

If no one wants to own the team it won’t matter. How many more people, outside of those season ticket holders, will go to the games? While I don’t care if they stay or go it’s the truth. The NHL can’t hold on much longer because the City of Glendale won’t hold on much longer. They’ve spent $50mil over two years to hope to see Hulsizer through and all it got them was him looking to St. Louis. No one wants to own the team without some sort of concession or kickback. They are heading towards where the Thrashers were and why they had to leave. Quebec and Seattle better get their best offers ready.

the fact that they’ve placed 4th in the incredibly tough Western Conference for 2 straight years (ok, 6th last year, but with as many points as 4th place Anaheim) yet only sell 1000 new season tickets shows why this team will be gone from the desert soon. and hopefully Bettman goes along with them

Like I’ve said before, there’s potential for a ton of growth in the market – which is why the NHL has been thinking long-term with the Yotes.
