So during my trip to Calgary as I was eating supper with my family we were dicussing the economy and the NHL and since there all Oiler fans they were discussing some stuff like attendance revenue etc. Anyways my uncle showed my a seating chart for the Oilers and I noticed they have 2 different classes for tickets, theres blue which is more expensive games like calgary vancouver etc, and copper which is cheaper and for less exciting teams like columbus and florida. I remember once discussing the ROTJ with a guy at work and he thought it would work well and there would be great attendance for games against teams like the leafs, flames wild etc just in general teams that are either exciting to watch or already popular in the area. If the Jets did something like this it would prompt people to go to those less exciting games, hopefully! Heres a link take a look oilers.nhl.com/tickets/retailtickets.htmscroll down

I'm pretty sure Winnipeg would employ a similar model especially after Chipman carefully studying the books of Edmonton Oilers already. I'm sure it's in his mind to something identical..

Wow ! Oiler tickets are sure expensive. $224 for the top seat and nearly $50 for standing room? Does anyone think that price model would work here?
Darren's model calls for tickets around $120-$140 for center ice and more like $35 to at least sit down somewhere. I mean I would love to go and see the Jets on a regular basis but I wouldn't be able to pay those kinds of prices. My view has always been that I'm willing to spend $50-$60 but that I wouldn't be sitting in the worst seats in the place.
Comments?

Well my seats were $235 each, I didnt pay for them my cousin's company owns them, so again the whole corperate thing comes in, can that many people in Winnipeg pay that much for season tickets like that? And at the same time I dont know if they were the most expensive either. Keep in mind Calgary's is extremely high as is the demand for tickets and there a very wealthy province.,

Ottawa has the same, upon getting tickets for the November 5th game vs the Lightning, I too had asked what classification I was in... I was broze. They have
Gold, Silver, Bronze and Value. Value are games like (COYOTES)!!!!!! Silver is like Pittsburgh, and gold were Toronto and Montreal...
I believe most NHL teams now do this!

montreal also has premium tickets for select games. also someone mentioned a model in [Dallas i think] whereby teams would have fluctuating ticket prices based on factors such as demand, how the team is doing in the standings, where in the season the ticket is available, and amount of time before the game. the model was based on airline tickets.

Buffalo does this too; for games against Toronto and Montreal the prices are insane. The next level is Chicago (Kane), Washington (Ovechkin), Pittsburgh (Malkin/Crosby), and a few others. After is a level directed for weekend games featuring less prominent teams, then a weekday level featuring less prominent teams, the a "value" level for a few games a year.
An idea like this would work well in Winnipeg.
Lets break the levels up like Buffalo:
Platinum Gold Silver Bronze Value
Platinum games: a combination of Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal Gold games: week night Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver games, Pittsburgh, Washington, Chicago (Toews, Barker), Minnesota Silver games: Detroit, Boston, Rangers, Ducks, Flyers, Devils, Senators, San Jose, Blues, Sabres Bronze: Colorado, Dallas, Hurricanes, Lightning, Blue Jackets, Blues, LA, Islanders Value: Predators, Thrashers, Panthers
Or something like that For Platinum games: $70-$230 For Gold games: $60-$220 For Silver games: $50-$190 For Bronze games: $40-$150 For Value games: $15-$100
Really quickly throwing numbers out there, but a system like this could work.

I suspect these are "walk-up prices", and season tickets may have that price attached, but are sold at a discounted price?

If you go to the Oilers web-site oilers.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=33812You will see that the top ticket, as a season ticket is in fact closer to $175.00 per game or $7126.20 per season, and the lowest priced SEAT is a modest $31.50 a game or $1292.85 per season, standing is the same price as the cheapest seat.

Isn't that sort of the system that was just implemented in Dallas?!?
