Utah Jazz attendance numbers

[UGLI baby]

I haven't been to a game this year (first time in my life that is the case.)

Blame me.

One thing that seems to be missing is $ per ticket. I have friends who have been to more games than normal this year because they were last minute tickets for $1. I wonder if the charts are deceiving due to incredibly cheap tickets.

But attendance counts don't account for people who've bought seats and don't go.

 

[Lion's Roar]

The more important issue would be WHICH tickets are staying in the box office. If they're the cheap seats at $10 for instance a drop from 19911 to 18800 (let's round this to 1000 tickets) only means $10000 a game or $410.000 a season (or Kevin Murphy's contract). If the tickets are lower bowl tickets then it could have a much meaningful impact on the team.

I used to be fanatical about the Jazz. I haven't watched a full game since Jerry left.

So you're more of a Jerry Sloan fan than a Jazz fan?

This is true, but I don't know that revenue information is readily available to the public.

Nope. I'm 100% an Al hater. If you can't thrive with Jerry and Deron, you have issues.

I have been to 4 games this year, but only paid for one game.

I have not missed a game on tv yet this year though.

I think that attendance SHOULD be down league wide simply due to the amazing televisions (i have a 60 inch samsung) and the high quality HD... Watching games at home has improved so much that im less motivated to go to games than i was 10 years ago.

Well, I hate people so that's why I don't go anymore. I'd rather lay on the couch with a big fat plate of nachos than sit next to a bunch of dumbass people that just piss me off.

What's wrong fat?

So Utah is a fair-weather crowd, good to know. I guess Durant is right.

Fair weather means only following when the team is doing well. That's not the case. The team is currently having an okay season, better than the last one, but attendance is (probably) dropping. In fact, pretty much everyone wants to see the team hand the keys to the youth as soon as possible, regardless of what it would mean to win-loss column. Being a fan does not mean blindly accepting every decision made by the team without hesitation.
