Atlanta Thrashers Season Ticket Holder Revolt 2008

[Cton88]

This was a foretelling of what happened today. The beginning of the end.

[HISTORYBUFFPA]

So the crappy ownership rumors were true?

Sorry you guys had to deal with that crap.

[tsliao]

This was clearly a guy who missed the Atlanta Flames and was feeling a tad bit nostalgic

[bobster231]

Atlanta is cheap. 22 dollars for a ticket is GOD DAMN STEAL. People in Canada fork out Hundreds of Dollars to take their families to games for seats right behind the bench. You people disgust me. Real hockey fans my ass.

[jed2j]

it's only cheap because there aren't too many hockey fans in georgia. i'm proud to be one of the few hardcore thrashers fans.

[bobster231]

Real hockey fans support a team no matter how bad or shitty it is. Be glad you have a fucking hockey team you prick fyhc1. Hockey is entertainment. It's expensive entertainment! Where people in Canada, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and WINNIPEG are willing to pay that money because we LOVE LOVE LOVE HOCKEY.

[Cton88]

Maybe next year, 2009-10, we'll be better. I hope.

[spyderf16]

Well... hate to say it, but there is a reason why the Flames left Atlanta and went to Calgary.

[thewad69]

This video expresses my feelings perfectly. I was the 186 person to call in for season tickets and my seats were center ice 11 row up from the glass, but I will no longer waste my money on an ownership group who have no clue to run a sports franchise, let alone two franchises.

The Atlanta Spirit are a disgrace to our city.

[wowmat]

so sad but so true

[ahirsh84]

All I'm going to say is if we lose our Thrashers I'm blaming you whiners who wouldn't renew.

[Cton88]

@ahirsh84  I blame ownership more now

[matandmel07]

It's true, STH do always get screwed. I'm not a season ticket holder and I've probably been to more free and discounted games this year than any other year. I even got 4 free tickets to the Meet and Greet.

To the season ticket holders I say "Good Luck". Let's hope the Thrashers can get this thing turned around.

[darrelltwo]

Agreed.... we even use ticket-exchange from Atlanta Spirit to get the good seats when we want a couple and then all the free-be ones to save money otherwise.

[younganduseless]

What I find so funny. People complain about EVERYTHING!! Going to any event is a luxury! Stop thinking people owe you something!

[darrelltwo]

When you exchange money for a service, people do owe you something..... Season Tickets aren't free (although, ironically, other tickets to the same event are free).

[younganduseless]

Yeah - free tickets in the nosebleed seats!! Doesn't the season ticket holder get to pick the seats they want. Plus - its called a game. Everyone can't win. It sucks that the thrashers are having a really hard time. Have you seen their salary compared to basketball. How hard is it to run and shoot a basket. But it's very difficult to ice skate, keep the puck from the other team, and score, doing all of this without falling. PLEASE!!!

[delvisle]

what we don't see is this guy running to his phone to call his ticket agent...oh well one less boo bird in attendance...leaves room for some real fans i suppose.

Well done video though...It got your point out there. great choice of tunes!!

[parasitemite]

Sad to see, but pretty true. Lets see what happens next year..

[dromano13]

Awesome!  You can two more in 219 to the list of available seats!

[SGBassplayer]

Hey, you can spend a lot less money to get a lot better seats a few miles up I-85 to see the Gwinnett Gladiators. They've made the postseason every year they've been here and they have ownership that actually gives a d@mn about the fans. True story.

[tdawguga15]

This guys is completely right. The Gladiators put an unbeliveable product on the ice, and have some of the most customer friendly staff members you will ever meet. GO GLADS!!!!!

[brandieorme]

Loved the video. What you have mentioned in this video is probably on a lot of peoples minds. It's just that no body is willing to admit it. they keep calling us to renew but we are holding out for a coach. I heard at the town hall meeting that Waddell said he made a mistake for not hiring a new head coach and when they asked him to rate himself as a coach he would not answer. I was unable to attend the meeting but wished I had of.

My favorite team with one of my favorite Zep songs ever!

It's too bad the management for both are after the almighty dollar at OUR expense!

Great post.

[DungeonK]

Well, that's one less douche screaming "SHOOT IT" every time the Thrashers go on the PP. You'll be sorely missed.

[cm4755]

Right on....

[horford15atl]

I am shocked that you own one seat. You must have a lot of friends, which is obvious by the time you took to do that. Loser

[horford15atl]

Shocking that you own one seat. With that much time on your hands I can see that you have a lot of friends.

[Kozlov1317]

THANK YOU! REVOLT REVOLT REVOLT

[petradlol]

god bless you sir from section 310

[JHendrix70]

Ouch! Well, best of luck to you sir.I can totally understand your frustration with the way the organization is being run! Try to enjoy the team anyway...while they are still around.........

[JHendrix70]

@JHendrix70 Well, Hope you enjoyed the team while they were still there. I kinda knew 3 years ago something wouldn't help save that Franchise.......

[nhlfan79]

Awesome.
