Ticket prices across the AHL

[keithLGA]

19 teams have prices higher than the Amerks for premium center ice seats. Crazy that San Diego charges $113 for a glass seat! Syracuse has the cheapest prime seat at $20. The catch for everything are stupid fee's. I probably spent more time on this than I should've but it's a great comparison..

Some of those glass ticket prices...yikes. How can people even see down there?

The LGA site is the best thing about the Amerks off ice happenings. Nothing else comes close. the website typically has been nearly useless and rarely current. Keith--you're doing a great job.

Thanks!!

As for glass seats, some people just enjoy being that close to the action and if they're willing to pay may as well get it from them.

OMG no wonder Albany no longer has a team $34 average for center ice. I remember fans in Albany, even fans who I knew said they aren't willing to spend $20 on for AHL hockey when you can see see DI RPI or Union for $12.00. Oh well that was three years ago and nobody cares. To fill my own void I go to the DI games but also Glens Falls is less then hour straight shot right up I-87. The Adirondack Thunder have done a good job at filling the void for Albany and Adirondack minor league hockey fans. They built a pretty competitive ECHL team and the old Glens Falls Civic Center is looking nice with upgrades.

My Admirals season tickets are $21 face value, but with the STH discount, it is more like $17. I sit in the first row of the 200 level seats near the south goal. The 3 or 4 rows of 100 level seats are the on the glass ones. In the Bradley Center, they were $25 for row 1 and $19 for row 2, where we sat. My seats are at the top of the glass, so I can see and hear the game better than from the row 2 in the BC, where it was like TV with the sound off.

The $100 concession card is per STH seat, so we get two of them. A hamburger and fries or a Friday fish fry with French fries (it is a big deal in Milwaukee, kind of like a Philly cheese steak sandwich in Philadelphia) or a pulled pork sandwich with garlic and chives fries runs $9.50 to $10.

The Brewers sponsor the Admirals uniforms, so we get a free Brewers ticket per seat for a game in September. The Admirals fans are usually in 2 or 3 sections halfway between the visitors dugout and the left field foul pole. The number of Admirals fans who go to that game varies from 300 to 500, as a guess.

You can also buy parking passes for Admirals games. The face value was $15, but I think they average out at $12. When the Bucks play, my parking garage charges $20, others charge $30, so it is a good deal diagonally across the intersection from the UWM Panther Arena. Admirals fans are guaranteed a parking space in that garage until the puck drops.

For todays market, Amerks tickets are reasonably priced....the cost should not be a major reason why Amerks attendance is down.
