The Phoenix Coyotes are so desperate to fill seats (despite the fact that the home opener sold out) that they are giving away free tickets but there’s a catch – they have to win certain games. The first of these singled-out contests (there are five in total) is the game against the Los Angeles Kings on October 24, 2009.

The promotion, which has been dubbed “join the pack,” is meant to create a more loyal fanbase and it could work. When you’re facing bankruptcy and being sold/moved to another city, you’ve got to try everything.
With all of the drama over the summer, it’s no surprise that fans didn’t go out and buy tickets for this season since I’m sure they wondered if the team would even be around. The team’s second home game attracted (wait for it) a whopping 6,899 fans. Can you believe that? Can you imagine how much it must suck for team morale?
Let’s hope things start improving for the Coyotes or it won’t take long for the vultures to swoop in.
