Another thing I haven't seen mentioned is that not only are the club level tickets not available for single games, and not only are they expensive, but if you buy them you have to sign a 3 year contract.
So, for a single ticket at roughly $250/each, for 3 years, you have to dedicate $7500.00 to watching Matt Casshole run around like a scared little girl. If you want to take a friend, double that, of course.
I went up there with $10k cash in 2010 (me and a bunch of friends) trying to get some sort of a suite for a single game. I figured now that they have like 5 levels of suites we could get the lowest one for 1 game...maybe..??
No chance. The only thing they would give us for $10k is a lower level field box, which is basically a collection of seats with a rope around it and a heater.
The cheapest actual suite they had...$30k for a single game...and again, you have to sign a contract to lease it for at least 3 years...they really want 5 years.

I guarantee that if they did some deep cost analysis they'd find that they're costing themselves more money to pay premium ticket salespersons, who obviously aren't able to sell the seats at the current price/contract requirements, than if they would just open the seats to the public for single-game sales. They could at least put the seats up for sale if they haven't sold to STH's the week of the game for a more reasonable price. I find it hilarious that the seats continue to remain empty but that they don't adjust their strategy at all to fill them.
It's like if your team had a shit history at quarterback and never tried to actually do anything about it...oh, wait.
