Troubling
It's the flavor in town to crap on the Jets. Just like 1.0. It's what everyone is doing, complaining about the Jets. They are not even bad. Imagine Ottawa, buffalo or islanders. Years of terrible. Can't believe the city is happy to complain. The fun has gone. Where's the heckling. "Crosbys better" was the best. It's tough to see that. If the fans give up. So will the players. Then it's done.
It has nothing to due with support!
If you can't afford FOOD your not going to a game!
$10 beer has nothing to do with it
Some thoughts…
1. Knowing what the economy is like…. Instead of 13 MILLION $ in renos they should have lowered ticket prices.
2. What went on last year may have been resolved within the team but it hurt the fan base.
Fans expected changes… basically apart from the PLD trade not much has changed.
3. A lot of fans are angry about the PLD thing and may have stayed away because of it.
4. A 5-1 loss last night won’t help.
5. A lot went for the atmosphere… at least on TV… it’s quiet. The chants are gone, the excitement is gone… hockey now not entertainment. The party pretty much ended years ago.
I honestly can't stand this topic because I was one of the butts in the seats in 316. I put money into this team that hurt in a way a huge corporate entities would never understand.
As a 50 year fan of this team I would not ever desert my team because I felt the hurt when they were gone. I did my part..
I purchased a 4 game pack for my small business to show support for the Jets. I was shocked that my choice of tickets were only in the 100 or 300 section. Why not 200? I was shocked once again I could not select my own seats. The preselected seats were obstructed. For $1,750 I was able to do 4 equals payments with no interest which was nice, but not being able to select the seats I want especially in the 200 section did leave a sour taste with me. Yet, this can be expected from True North and why fans feel the way they do.
Few things.
A Pandemic into a recession. Into increase prices's. Into massive inflation topped with terrible marketing into mediocrity of team play. Sprinkle on small Arena and choice of tickets….
My only question is. Why is it okay for Florida and Arizona and Ottawa? But not jets?
I guess I’ll post this here as well.
Hus, can you please stop with this fear mongering BS. The Jets aren’t going anywhere. Considering your age and the fact that you worked for 1.0 it amazes me that you forget some pretty simple things.
1.0 didn’t own their own building. They paid rent and didn’t get the concession or parking revenue. 1.0 was, and still is, a shit business. It’s currently playing out of a college rink waiting for a municipality to hand them hundreds of millions of dollars just like they were in the mid nineties.
2.0 however, owns their own building, they own the majority of parking around the arena, they are close to completing their $400 million True North square project that includes 2 towers and a luxury hotel that will take the NHL business from the Fairmont when it’s open. They own Shark Club which has a mini casino generating millions per year. They have a total monopoly on concerts between the arena and the Burt. By comparison, 2.0 is a juggernaut of a business. Stop comparing these situations. They aren’t anywhere close to each other. Fear and guilt isn’t going to get people back to the arena. It’s fucking lazy and dishonest.
Do you really think they are going to build a billion dollar entertainment district and sell the team, their biggest draw to that area because of a couple bad years of attendance? They aren’t entitled to the profits from the first 9 seasons that helped build True North Square. They are in this situation because of their own failures. I am fully confident it will turn around as long as they start respecting their fans and the business community. You can keep being pro True North and anti fan all you want. But at least be honest about the differences between 1.0 and 2.0.
Hate to say it but if they keep playing like they did against LA it isn't going to get better. Also if the unrest gets worse in the middle east the gas prices will skyrocket and drive everything else up – that won't help.
Its inflation plus pissed fans
A bumpy ride ahead.
We have a decent team, we will be on the bubble making it to playoffs.
Got to win. Build the winner
Ticket and beer prices are cheap compared to real NHL markets. Go to Toronto or MSG, and get a beer, and it’ll cost you significantly more than at Canada Life Centre…
This is bad. Writing’s on the wall, Winnipeg.
I love the Winnipeg Jets and I’ll support this team to the best of my ability, but I am a 25 year old who cannot even come close to affording season tickets, nor do I want season tickets as I curl 2 times a week and have other obligations to attend when I’m not curling. That being said I love attending Saturday games and I will try to get to at least 4 or 5 games this year as that’s all I can do to support this organization. I’m sad to see the declining attendance but there are many people like me who can really only attend a handful of games every year. That being said, GO JETS GO!
