> [@Joe](#): > > savior \< profit. > > what he really needs to do, is perform a break-even analysis, release it publicly, and make a pact with the city. Tell them, “If you want us to spend up to the cap, we need to raise ticket prices by this much, and you need to purchase this many by this date. Otherwise, the deal’s off.” > > The Ice Bowl and playoff games last year showed that people are willing to pay a great premium in this city for a winning product, local economy be damned. its just not that simple. there are SO many other components to revenue in the NHL than just attendance. Canadian TV contracts, US TV contracts, satellite radio revenue, sponsorship revenue, etc, then the redistribution of all of this revenue through revenue sharing. not to mention revenue from the sabres’ portion of vendor revenue on gamedays. not to mention merchandising. and thats just the revenue side of things! i dont even want to scratch the expense side… to be honest, the average person would probably not even be able to comprehend a “break even analysis”. not to mention, that there would be so many variables involved, that it would be a virtually pointless exercise. people tend to oversimplify things. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-07-08-buffalo-sabres-season-thread/36504)._
