Jean Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 I guess this record will stand until someone builds a bigger arena! Or until the Habs start doing like some other teams and start getting hgiehr than 100% capacity by overselling tickets and some people end up having no seats but are at the game anyway, and they count in the attendance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Wow, thats pretty impressive. LEts see thats 872,194. Does that include luxary boxes? tickets 872,194 * $50 (average ticket) = $43,610,000 concession 872,194 * ($15 per person) = $13,080,000 Thats $57,000,000 right there. Thats doesn't include what luxary boxes are probably worth. Doesn't include parking. Doesn't include programs, jersey sales and other memoribilia. That doesn't include Bell Center naming rights. That doesn't include a minimum of 2 home playoff dates at about $2 or 3 Million per game. Seems like George Gillete made out ok this year. Should mean a high priced free agent this summer.

Tony Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Luxury boxes are about 3000$ a game. Don't forget, there are expenses in there. Last time I checked, people working in the Bell Centre get paid. I also doubt the Bell Centre is powered by people on stationary bikes Psssst, I thought the Habs had an impressive year, the Avs have sold out every game since going to Colorado! Also, last season Vancouver booked their arena on average to a 101% capacity. Looks like people paid in to watch the game standing. This was possible in the Old Forum but isn't done anymore.

geolink Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Rent, power, players, staff, equipment, etc etc can come pretty close to that...leaving gilettes profit still good but Not gates standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh but your forgot the property taxes which are about $10 Million a year. Yeah obviously I realize all the costs inloved, but the fact of the matter is Gillete made a decent return on his investment. Hopefully he'll re-invest some of that as capital. Rent, power, players, staff, equipment, etc etc can come pretty close to that...leaving gilettes profit still good but Not gates standards. I won't even respond to this, as it barely makes sense and you can't be bothered to use capital lettes for names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
