From Gregor about the Oct 15 game vs Utah:
Official tonight attendance was 16,176.
That is 2,171 empty seats. Ticket prices and playoff increases a factor for some season seat holders who didn’t renew.
Only sold out game of our 3 home games this season year was the home opener. Last night was the lowest attendance since COVID.
Looks like the price gouging has finally gone too far. Oilers apparently were the most profitable team last season, so there have been be huge profits baked in to everything they are selling fans. And they increased prices again for this season, because I guess being the most profitable team in the league is just not good enough.
Taking fans for granted like Oilers management have taken McDrai for granted.

When I lived in Phoenix years ago and would go see the Oilers play I would regularly run into people from Edmonton that said it was cheaper for them to come see the game in Phoenix rather than Edmonton. Nearly 10 years later I imagine it is much worse.
