Free tickets offered as Phoenix Coyotes look to heat up tepid sales

"Facing another season of slow ticket sales, the Phoenix Coyotes have launched a promotion that will see hockey fans land free tickets. The "We Win, You Win" ticket promotion will be available for five games during the 2009-10 NHL regular season. If the Coyotes win, fans who purchased tickets to that game can redeem their game ticket and voucher for a free ticket to a future Coyotes' game. The promotion starts on Oct. 24 when Phoenix hosts the Los Angeles Kings. The other dates are: Nov. 14 against the Dallas Stars, Dec. 5 versus the Ottawa Senators, Jan. 16 against the Minnesota Wild and Feb. 13 versus the Dallas Stars. An estimated crowd of about 5,000 took in Thursday's game in Glendale, Ariz., between the Coyotes and St. Louis Blues. The announced attendance was 6,899, which includes unused season tickets."

Move.

Team.

To.

Somewhere.

Cares.

Agreed. This team will never succeed there... they just need to move and get on with life... cuz wow... oh wow... its sad... its one thing if the team sucks but the fan base is there and supports the team no matter what... but to suck and have no fans? haha grounds to move to Winnipeg people...

Well it's not the team sucking right now.

It's the fanbase just not going to games.

Can you blame them? I wouldn't want to spend money to see a team that's got one foot out the door already.

Hey Bettman...did you hear that?

5000 people were in attendance and the team is giving away tickets.

what a moron.

If I laid down hard earned smack for tickets, while 3/4 of the place got in for free, I'm not going to be too happy with the club................

They are bastardizing their season ticket holder's; all ten of them.....

They do the free ticket gig down here for the Panthers, too. Buy a special 4 game package and for any of the games you attended that they won you cash in the stub for a free equivalent seat to new game(s) of your choosing.

To market a team in the South you need to offer little free giveaways to every fan for awhile, that will draw people in to see the team, especially if they are winning.

Every 100th fan gets a special hat or something.

I think the 12,000 empty seats make a lot more noise than the 6,000 who show up.

I'd do that since my car really needs a good washing.

Wasn't there a promotion for a struggling team sometime last year where they gave away a free seat in the penalty box of your choice?

Ice, you're late to the party with this

Doubt it, it would be retarded to move team out west.

Just keep one extra team in the East conference, if by expansion. Or if a team moves, just keep it west until you need to change the conferences around again.
