That city is just delaying the inevitable, year by year.
When your average ticket price is $36.15, and you only sell 72.5% of your seats on average per game (12,420), you're not going to last very long unless your owner loves losing money.
They have a great TV deal and that is the only reason that team hasn't moved already, according to some sources. It actually helps other teams, and without it Phoenix likely would have moved 5 years ago.
A survey of several current and former NHL governors - who would not speak on the record because commissioner Gary Bettman frowns on public discussions of league business - highlighted the league's need to keep the Phoenix market (the 12th-largest in the United States, according to Nielsen Media Research) in order to maximize a U.S. TV contract
(Sources said other factors included a league with 24 U.S.-based owners preferring to see the game grow within that nation's borders, the image of having a large U.S. market rather than a small Canadian one, and a desire to eventually move a couple of Eastern teams, like the Columbus Blue Jackets and Nashville Predators, out of the Western Conference.)

Pretty sure I read that centre ice tickets cost around $30 and that comes with a free hotdog AND a beer. Thats just the cost of parking at alot of Canadian arenas...

no, not that cheap. When we went last year in November against Blackhawks, we paid 68 bucks for third row corner/goalie. Amazing seats. It is empty enough that you can buy a cheap seat and sit wherever you want anyway...

not like fucking oiler tickets
Last year we paid 200 bucks a piece for 18 rows back at Rexall
this year (if we have hockey) our seats were almost 300 a piece (leafs vs Oilers Dec. 18th) but they are only 3 row back, right behind the oilers bench....how i wish we had the American prices.

Lol, hopefully the cap dont drop too much. Bruins could be in some trouble next year. Rask and Lucic RFA coming up. With Seguin and Marchand done, Chia is doing some locking up of the young guys.
