Wehave's dream come true

Um... what? The only tickets on the site are in the "ticket vault" which is people who already bought them at face value from the team and now are selling them for more than face value online.

This is basically the Habs cutting out the middle man from something like stub hub. \

There are no tickets available that are actually face value and being sold directly by the team.
 
Just checked again, canadiens.com still has most price levels available, can get two together. If we don't sell out the opener, we will get laughed at for sure.
 
For once we agree. Who gives a crap?

It's like Habs fans are grasping for some sort of glory, the team sucks so let's cling to attendance and money. The Leafs fans did that for decades.

I can't wait for the 25th anniversary honouring our last Stanley Cup win. Only one more year!!!!
 
This is the best possible thing that could happen. The ONLY thing that will get Geoff's attention is a loss of revenue. As long as fans keep filling his coffers nothing will ever change. Not buying tickets sends the message that this crap isn't good enough.
 
I wouldn't be too concerned about the attendance. It is what it is. If the team sucks less people will watch. Pretty standard stuff. They'll be fine anyway.

File this one under "who cares and move on."
 
They are hurting the brand though.

Haven't seen this much apathy towards the habs in a long time.

Sad time to be a Montreal sports fan.

Impact suck, eliminated.

Alouettes suck, eliminated.

Habs 3 goals in 3 games, watching Toronto open the season 3-0, 19 goals.
 
Advertising tickets on game day. Remember not showing up in late 90s changed nothing

The trouble is that the fans' anger never lasts long enough. A 3 game win streak or a trade which brings even a moderately talented francophone player, even one past his prime, is all it would ever take to fill those empty seats again. One fluke playoff run to the third round and they can go on auto-pilot for the following 5 years. The late 90's debacle wasn't completely useless. It got rid of a corporate entity owner and brought in Gillett, who at least tried to do something. They brought in Gainey who started off well but then went off the rails. But it did cause change, at least.

Unfortunately, the person who currently owns this team is more concerned with appeasing the jackals in the francophone media by giving them their french GM and coach in perpetuity rather than deciding to give those jobs to the best available candidates regardless of language. That more than anything else is what is preventing a proper culture change within the organization. They seem to have forgotten that when this team was elite it was populated with francophone players but anglophone coaches and managers, not the other way around.

Too many focus on Leafs as if they are some gold standard.
