Otherwise they set their own budgets. The other thing I would say is if you take the annual attendance reported to the league and divide that number into gross ticket sales the average revenue per ticket would by less than half of the $25 per ticket you mention. This is a key number that probably varies widely from team to team based on how much they discount tickets, how many tickets they give away etc.<br /> <br />As for your question about goalies to simplify the answer, young guys get a chance at the next level but not guys over 30. Riley is 31, the other guys are just out of college.Allen Americans Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151368714456251917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080859446542191581.post-33749429767172177502016-06-27T08:35:32.830-05:002016-06-27T08:35:32.830-05:00As always great stuff.
Barry, what is the max budg...As always great stuff.<br />Barry, what is the max budget an ECHL team can spend? Not to sound dumb but is that budget a real budget, salary, gas, food, lodging, insurance, etc or is it just for salary? <br />I ask because I read the ECHL has a $2.5M team budget and everyone has to stay under that. Knowing that, if we average 4300 people per night with an average ticket of $25 times 36 games that would be $3.8M which is more than the max budget. But, what I don't know is the price of full season tickets, I am going on the price to pay one game at a time. Maybe season tickets average below $25 per ticket so the ticket sales would amount to less. <br />As I have commented before, I am for the owners of everything to not lose money and I have heard that this team has lost money every year. But with the numbers above how do they lose money?<br />Thanks,<br />KevinKevinLoefflerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146274805897218305noreply@blogger.com
