@Maccus_de_Long @walsha I worked in the NHL from 2000-2014; it was a tough business for small market teams, even those with good attendance. I don't mind criticism, but the salary cap was a game-changer and generally very positive. Posting nonsense and misleading data is just selfish and doesn't help.

The Penguins Web site in 1996 had a page where you could e-mail the coaches. I'm fairly certain it was just a mechanism to build up a list of e-mails for ticket sales. Still, the idea you could e-mail Rick Kehoe to complain about the power play is amazing.

MLB loses $94 million in ticket revenue? It is not a quick fix. Years of overpricing and creating supply while driving down demand. Not just MLB but the industry pushed out its best customers in fear of FOMO of ticket revenue. #sportsbiz via @business

So basically, they saw people selling on the secondary market, want the money & think raising bulk upfront purchase pricing creates same model? How many times do we have to make this mistake. A few cancels throws the model off & when people can’t resell due to supply they cancel.

The Taylor Swift lack of sellouts is another interesting example. I think it will be fine but pricing CAN NOT be based off of higher costs you see on secondary. Those $'s only work if there is a sellout already and are not representative of the actual market. Common mistake.
