The funny thing is, they aren't doing terrible. The Hawks are coming off a four game win streak, and are sitting nicely at 4-3-1, better than anyone expected of them. So what's the problem?
The ticket prices. The prices are outrageous. And I'm worried until they lower them, attendance isn't going to be any better, even if they're doing good. Take a look at some Blackhawks tickets below, which are slightly under $600 USD, which is North of $800 Canadian.
