DonaldBrashear Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Last night's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs did not sellout. Attendance was listed at 18,290, which means about 600 tickets went unsold. That means last night's game was the lowest attended leafs game in 19+ years. The last time a game had lower than that was October 16, 2000 when the attendance was 16,496.

goalie13 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Was it also the first time in the same stretch that the game wasn't on a Saturday? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there has been weekday games. The last game we played Toronto (March 6, 2019) before this was on a Wednesday and was sold out long before. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rychicken Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 maybe if we build a wall we can keep the rest of the leafs fans away?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Coilers had a ton of empty seats last night vs Carolina. The announced attendance was the classic sham too. The estimate was at least 2000 empty seats. It's just too expensive and with tough economic times, even rock solid attendance markets are hurting. These 'arenas' are multi use entertainment facilities and have less appeal to the sweat pant/jersey wearing crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one - Canucks fans were worried the much improved Leafs were going to beat them soundly, and not many Canucks fans want to pay top dollar to see that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Wait what? That's a shocker... Tickets weren't sold out? So ticketmaster had tickets? Maybe they just priced them too high? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tre Mac Posted December 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2019 Attendance has never been the same since they switched to Pepsi. I don't even drink soft drinks anymore but this still displeases me. Coke is the winner, Pepsi is the loser and now we're losers. 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they just priced them too high? Yep... I checked an hour or so before the game and there were at least 500 tickets for sale on the map. Some sections had huge chunks. Tons of them. Lowest priced was something insane like $150 a ticket plus fees. At this point tickets were going on the secondary market for around $50 a ticket, so obviously no one would pay ticketmaster full price. Not sure what happened because a few weeks ago the Toronto game was listed as "sold out". I guess the Canucks held too many tickets back and assumed they would sell and got caught with too many left.

Baer. Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 It was also probably the least viewed on TV in that span as well. And people wonder why the games are early when leafs are in town. Just not profitable to do any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNeil Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 It's a leaf thing. Tickets are down considerable in calgary for their game too. Even in Edmonton they are a bit less than last year, and ticket sale there overall are way up from last year. Leaf fans are not happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
