Rapport original : https://theathletic.com/5293782/2024/02/23/winnipeg-jets-attendance-issues-nhl/ Même en jouant dans la plus petite arène permanente de la LNH, qui peut accueillir 15 225 spectateurs pour les matchs de hockey, les Jets sont tirant seulement 87,4 pour cent de sa capacité cette saison, la troisième note la plus basse de la ligue à 32 équipes. Leur fréquentation moyenne globale de 13 306 personnes est la plus faible de toutes les équipes de la LNH, à l’exception des Coyotes de l’Arizona, qui jouent dans une arène universitaire. Et ce, même si les Jets sont l’une des équipes les plus performantes de la Conférence Ouest. Le nombre d’abonnements saisonniers de Winnipeg a subi une baisse de 27 pour cent en seulement trois ans, passant d’environ 13 000 à un peu moins de 9 500, selon les Jets.

The arena is in a dead area with no free parking. The area is known to be violent.
People dont really grow up playing hockey, its expensive and there isnt that many ice rings around. Everyone says hockey should come to Houston but i dont think itll work. Football, basketball, soccer, baseball and track n field dominates where i live.
Have you seen what our govt has done to our economy? canadian franchises are in trouble.
I live a few blocks away from the arena. Winnipeg has a great hockey fan base.
However financial times are tough. Housing prices are so high and so are groceries. I’m not sure wages have caught up. So people are choosing between living and fun.
Also, all of our games are on TV. All of them. They may want to revisit that if they want more people there.
The tickets are $ but so are other things like concerts. It’s just hard in the economy atm.
Our population last yr was 849,000. 🙂 we also have many Ukrainians coming here as we have a huge Ukranian population so look for that to grow!
Atlanta lost a franchise twice. Now, we could be looking at another two-time failure. Some people will immediately start to make excuses about how this is different this time and how, "this can still work. Others will say that this is proof that Winnipeg, as big as it is cannot support an NHL team. As with any argument, the truth usually resides somewhere in the middle. I can already hear the shouting from the masses… "Move them to Quebec!" However, this is current and prime evidence that no Canadian city can support a team, until the Canadian Dollar recovers at least a little bit.
PLAYERS ARE WAY OVER PAID AND ON TOP OF THAT PAYING PLAYERS WERE THEY CAN COLLECT SALARIES FROM TWO TEAMS AND IF THEY ARE NO LONGER PLAYER LIKE ISLANDERS DIPIETRO! STOP THIS MADNESS IT'S DESTROYING OUR GAME BECAUSE OF THESE GREEDY P0S PLAYERS AND AGENTS!
How the f#k does Arizona stay in Arizona…. Wpg gotta go!? Manitoba better start growing cactus 🌵
Damn, if my Ducks were 3rd in the West we’d be sold out every night. Cmon Peg!
Why is no one talking about the recession? It's expensive to attend a game.
can't sell out? maybe ticket prices are too high
The Winnipeg Jets travel the most miles of any NHL team. Would be great if there were more teams in Canada 🇨🇦 since hockey is extremely popular there but not a lot of big cities. NHL seems to focus more on American teams especially with regard to the Winter Classic and Stadium Series. Hamilton, Quebec City, etc would be great if it could work out that way. Good luck Winnipeg! From Upstate SC. Go 🐧!
Don Cherry is the man! Happy thoughts to Barry Melrose! Nobody knows who Don Cherry is when I bring up his name.
If the NHL can prop up the Coyotes for how long? They can throw the Jets a bone, too.
When the Thrashers were the best in the east, we got swept and then left Atlanta.
Jets are the franchise, wouldnt be surprised to see them move again.
Maybe providing affordable ticket packages and TV deals would help. And finally address the rising salaries professional athletes make. Fans have to be able to afford to support their teams….most people are struggling just to make ends meet, so sports becomes a luxury item that alot of fans are forced to cut from their budgets…..hope Winnipeg figures this out and keeps their team.

Dropped my 3 season tickets I had since 2011. NOTHING to do with affordability. Winnipeg fans are homegrown right (blue) leaning conservatives. Ownership has decided to pander towards multiple special interest groups with special promo nights and guilt tripping pregame ceremonies. We just WANT to watch hockey. It's no mystery that their "new fans" aren't committed like the 3500 other missing season ticket holders had been.
This doesn’t help Quebec City’s chances of a return.
Come back to Atlanta!
love the channel . at 5 minute mark jack had vision of an outer limits episode
Transparent? More like a ploy to get renos or a free arena.
Winnipegs median household income is $80K CAD, Calgary is $118K CAD.
It's economic, the team needs to find other revenue streams and a way to lower prices.
In the everchanging flux of the Canadian mosaic, Winnipeg unfortunately has a reputation of not supporting local talent in the long-term. It's that midway locale in Canada which has always been a brief 'stop on the trail' as a gateway going east or west. The Guess Who, Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman are from Winnipeg, yet they found their fame and fortune elsewhere in Canada and the World. The Jets maybe playing the card for a new arena, time will tell.
Dude, your a wank!!! Focus on the Arizona joke and the San Jose team…those 2 teams are dying a slow death….
I dont understand the math here.. 15,500 seats… 9k STM….. assuming and its a BIG assumpton that if STMs hold 2 seats the place would be sold out all the time? Maybe season ticket members/Holders only have 1 seat?. Lots of lonely winnipeg fans go in all by themselves? It doesnt add up to me..
I was thinking the same thing about the Winnipeg market. The population of the drivable area is not like other cities. Even Edmonton has Calgary somewhat close. But good for Winnipeg for raising the red flag. With all the expansion talk they are probably trying to turn it around before there is a clear viable candidate for an expansion team. Otherwise they would be an easy target, after AZ.
2 huge factors happening locally. First. Justin Trudeau has destroyed our economy. Mortgage payments are double, groceries triple the cost. People can’t make luxury spends. Second factor. Large segment of liberal people locally. They love covid lockdowns and are now very Leary of going out in public. The thought of going into a giant super spreader event makes them anxious. These two factors have cut season tickets very very low.
Fake news. They wont be lraving Winnipeg anytime soon. Thumbs down
Moose or Jets, rather go to a Moose game.
Move the jets to mississauga in ontario, and it will be a billion dollar franchise
I don’t think attendance alone is the reason to sound the alarm otherwise the Panthers would have left Miami years ago, yes Winnipeg may have its problems like all markets do but there have to be other factors that would need to be in play for me to be worried but this proves my point we should focus on the current members and not add more to the club
This just reflects how poorly the Canadian economy is doing as a whole.
The Peg having a season of less than perfect attendance, in my opinion, is not cause enough to start considering a relocation. The Coyotes have had shitty attendance since their inception, and the Panthers can barely sellout. I remember seeing incredibly bad attendance at Islanders games for years, and they're still around. If that damn American Bettman, insists on pulling out of Winnipeg in favour of a another US team, then fuck him, and fuck the NHL.
Houston Jets
The problem is that tickets are damn expensive and there are no cheap ones to be had. I grew up in Winnipeg and went to games regularly in the early NHL days there – even working a low paying job it was still affordable. Not so any more. When the cheapest seat you can get is around $150 how many games can working people on tight budgets afford to attend? Every year the players push for bigger paydays and ticket prices keep going up. Attending pro sports contests used to be a pastime of the masses – now it's getting out of reach. The only way to fill the arenas in smaller markets is to drop ticket prices but I don't see that happening.
Owners should move to quebec city and call the team bombardier. After name that makes jets. Be very fitting
The Jets knew last season they had an issue. That’s why they didn’t do a full rebuild the only reason. Winnipeg is a great city with passionate fans and the richest person in Canada owning the team. Financially Manitoba is struggling bad, unlike the bigger cities in Canada it does not take much to all fall apart. Jets are not going anywhere, the league understands they will try to use scare tactics probably to use this issue to build a new arena.
The Jets aren’t going snywhere
Sounds like Bettman is looking for another excuse to move a Winnipeg team to Arizona again when the hours fold or move. This shit is beyond annoyning now first the youts then you give every advantage to the failure that’s Las Vegas so much so you put them in the cup final with the NHLs whipping boy. It’s not going to work there it hasn’t worked there but I bet we get a team in fucking Reno before we get on in QC.
Everyone in Winnipeg would go to games if they could afford the tickets. People are poor at the moment.
Move them Atlanta 😂
nobody can afford to go even down in the US its expensive as hell to go out to a NHL game compared to other shit. plus parking alone is like 40 bucks…..
Go woke, go broke.
Sports will never be what they once were. The days of the humble, thankful athlete have been replaced by dudes who think they’re better than the fans. Of course, the economy is affecting things, but even when the economy bounces back, the sports leagues will never be making the cash they once made.
Blue Bombers success splitting disposable income?
Let's try Atlanta again. LOL
get it to Quebec!
Ever since they went full debit/credit, which increases prices everything in the Canada Life Centre cuz of terminal fees, noone is able to afford anything. We up here in Canada are being taxed half to death.
In Manitoba our economy is garbage.
2,000 fans not showing up. The economic viability numbers are tight for small market Winnipeg. Nice people in Manitoba. Need a long run in the playoffs to bring back demand.
Oh no. Not again…
