That'd be a nice idea in theory, but really how effective would it be? Even if you ignore the fact that the ticket prices probably wouldn't drop all that much how do you guarantee that those tickets are going to fans who previously couldn't afford them? They could just as easily be bought by the same group of people that typically go to games but just at a cheaper rate.
I agree, but I'm sure there's ways to have a decent level of success with something like this.
Besides, it was just an example of how the money could be better spent. There's probably tons of different ways to spend that money such as giving kids that come to games something special - maybe autographed pucks, or something.
Then someone else will come along and say there's an even BETTER way to spend that money.
Then let them. What's the problem with that? All I've said is that I think it's a stupid waste of money. I don't see how that's a problem.
