Kings announce ticket price hikes, say they're not just losing on the ice (Daily News

The Kings declined to release specific numbers, but said they're losing more money per year now than before the lockout. At the start of the lockout, the Kings claimed to be losing $8 to $10 million a year.

"We're building our organization differently, to meet the reality that we're losing even more than we did before the lockout," chief marketing officer Chris McGowan said. "We have to run a better business."

Thus, the ticket-price increases, even coming off a season in which the Kings tied for the fewest points in the NHL. The Kings believe the increases are necessary, in part, to help stabilize their bottom line.

Season tickets will undergo a "blended" increase of 5.66 percent. The most expensive seats will increase from $331.50 to $355.50 while the cheapest seats will decrease from $11 to $10.

Lets see, I'm trying to remember why the lock out a couple years ago.....??? Wasn't there some comments about a level playing field?

Kings HD looks even better now.

I think were all paying for contacts like the ones they gave to Clouts and 'Zus.
