It's sad to say, but the Sabres are a sinking ship.

18,873 for the same Phoenix team in Toronto last Saturday night.

If they had another 10,000 seats at ACC, they would have been sold, too.

I'll be the first to admit it. I've NEVER been to a Buffalo Sabres or any hockey game before. I watch them on TV sometimes, but just haven't gotten to the point where I could afford to go. Plus I have no one to go with. I hate going to games by myself. IF I had someone to go with, I'd love to go. I'm willing to make a trip out there sometime. :D

A lot of it has to do with the ticketing policies. Adelphia used to load up the arena by giving away tickets...well they can't do that any more. This team probably lost money in the past few years because attendance does not equal ticket sales...and the fans saw a good turnout at the games. At the beginning of last season they cut their payroll significantly and turned around and raised ticket prices. They really cut themselves in the throat when they did this. Not a good move to raise ticket prices like that when the quality of the team went from a low end cadillac to a yugo.

Imagine having no team.
I moved to Rochester years ago. The Amerks have won several Calder Cups since.
WHO CARES!!!!!!
When the Sabres make a Stanley Cup run, time stops.
Minor league sports don't cut it. Buffalo has a major league hockey franchise. Buffalo could lose that major league franchise, and never recover. It would be a loss to all of western NY as well.

Now is not the time to make reasons not to go, but to make a reason to go.

buffarama I'm not talking about finding reason's not to go. I am talking about sound business decisions, price sensitivity and the quality utility.
