Season Ticket Sales Remain Strong In Philadelphia

from Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer,

The Flyers' season-ticket base remains stable even though the team is coming off a season in which it missed the playoffs for the second time in three years - and Hextall was unable to make any major offseason moves because of limited cap space.

The Flyers, their farm system greatly improved under Hextall, have sold 16,000 tickets per game, a slight drop of about 500 tickets per game from the previous year.

Shawn Tilger, who heads the Flyers' business operations, said he was "appreciative but not surprised" that the season-ticket base was still strong. The Flyers averaged 19,271 fans per home game last year, fourth in the 30-team NHL.

"Our fans are not blindly loyal. They understand the game and believe in our organization's commitment to winning," he said, adding the fans make the Wells Fargo Center one of the league's "toughest buildings for opponents."
