I agree they need time to make things better BUT why alienate the fans with higher parking, ticket and concession prices at the same time.
Buisness is all about supply and demand and as the team perform worse in the stabding the demand goes down. In the real world so should the price, in the Kings world, and most pro teams, the prices keep going up, along with fewer giveaways, less access and shorter non playoff seasons.
Keep the fans happy give them a break while you're fixing/improving your product and keep the loyal faithful customers happy them when demand goes up the higher prices are justified.
Ironically the other AEG team in town is now starting to suffer from such practices. the LA Galaxy have been horrible the last 3 years and even with Beckham here less than one year they are already seeing a decline in attendence because they have priced their fans out the market. They have abandoned the very fans that supported them for 12 seasons in searches of riches. If they were winning they would be selling out every game. They have now resorted to specials to fill the house and have only sold ouot 1 of 3 games this year so far and sold out every game last year, post Becks.
It would be nice to see these teams that are building not rape the fans and try to maximize their profits off a smaller fanbase. |
