Kr55 wrote on Sun, 20 January 2019 21:30 | So, are ticket renewals seriously about to happen? Lots of the super expensive seats that were on 3 year contracts expiring?
Are people and businesses in AB finally going to be wise with their money after 3 years of the oil and gas industry being hammered?

Even with the industry in woes, some exec will find an excuse to keep buying them so they can keep their bragging rights and status. We live in an era where executives give themselves massive bonuses as companies crash down in flames bankrupt.

I think it's a lot closer to happening than you think. My company, who is a rather larger Oilers sponsor, was on a knife's edge about renewing their seats and advertisements this summer. The economy hasn't gotten better and the team hasn't gotten better. Is anyone actually getting value for their ticket / ad dollar?
|
This is more in line with the response I am seeing as well. The rate of return on tickets just simply isn't there. Now obviously there is companies who keep them because the owners are fans and it's tax free tickets, that it's a status symbol or to appease a few long term clients who have expectations of having access to free tickets, but in my opinion, many more are questioning the value than ever before.

Are the tickets really tax free? It's it something like you can deduct 50% of the cost from taxable income? So, you get what? ~30% of 50% of the cost back? So, 16k ticket for one of the loge seats, you save around 2.5k off your taxes? You still paid 13.5k though for that seat in the end.
