Looking at this it’s becoming more and more likely the freefalling Philadelphia Flyers will be spending April on vacation, not in the playoffs. And I have to admit, I’d rather not spend good money to see this ragtag mess get dominated in the first round.
Of course, my feelings about the play of the team aren’t being assuaged by the actions of the front office. Awaiting me in the mailbox yesterday was the season ticket brochure for 2008-09. I guess now we know why they announced the price increase so early. They want a down payment on next year by April 15. This isn’t exactly good timing. They might have better luck waiting until the bad taste is out of season ticket holders’ mouths from this disastrous second half before they ask for a deposit on next year.
Let’s see.
Bad collapse at end of season. Check.
Moving long-time season ticket holders, some charter season ticket holders, out of the first row to cash in. Check.
Asking season ticket holders to put a deposit on seats before the playoff refunds can be processed. Check.
What a way to celebrate spring.
