They shouldn't, and for the most part haven't outside of a few message board posters. If the fans fail to show up in 2014, then at that point its on them.

The life cycle of a returning fan-base is pretty well-known by now. At the beginning of 2013 the people who didn't show up in 2012 aren't following the team, aren't aware that they may improve, and are completely out on the Royals in April. When a losing team starts to win, the fans who were out on them will not commit to buying a ticket, but they will cautiously start to watch them on TV. We saw that last year, ratings on FSKC skyrocketed.

The offseason after that first good year, then fans who were out and transitioned to TV are now in, start to follow offseason news, and by the time April comes back around, they are ready to buy tickets. If we do not sell 2 million tickets, then the fanbase should hang their collective heads in shame. I'm hopeful for 2.25MM, and if the Royals start out hot we just might get close to 2.5MM, if not this year then maybe 2015 when the next wave of fans buy in.
