Johnny Shotgun Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 The Pittsburgh Penguins announced today to allow fans to puchase merchandise at a 50% discount as their way of saying sorry for the lockout. Is this suitable or just another merchandising ploy? Oh and certain items at concessions will be gratis. No details given as to items from what i saw.

surtur Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 good way to keep people buying your stuff even if they kinda hate you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avicii Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Free beers and hot dogs for everyone who goes to a game and i'm happy for the rest of my life. EDIT: Meant if the Canucks did that, cause yeah i don't live in Pitts.. Wish i did if they had a deal like that though. Obviously the hidden plot is to make the lost revenue.. 50% off? Pft, it only costs like $20 to make a jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayStation Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 LA Kings are giving back to the community by donating one million dollars. Now that is a great gesture to earn any fans respect back.

Stefan Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I like it. It's win / win. As a Penguins (hyopethically) fan would you rather there wasn't a promotion like this? Seriously? Would you be upset that they're offering merchandise at half price? They didn't have to. And no one's forcing you to buy anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauii Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 As per TSN Pheonix is offering its fans an entire section to yourself... PS. Free or discounted beer...bad idea. Free tix for kids great idea...encourage alternative family activity and a good way to start building your fan base and they should also offer discounted merchandise/jersey.

spliced Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Doesn't really matter in Pittsburgh. When you have the players they do people will come back. Doesn't hurt that the Steelers didn't make the playoffs either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMelvin Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Sheesh... Just like players...never happy....50 % off Merch damn wish the Nux would do that and then I can buy all the jerseys Im needing for my collection.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
