Analyzing Blackhawks' attendance: Ticket sales back on track after slow start

Blackhawks Attendance Sees Significant Boost After Slow Start

The Chicago Blackhawks have ended a tumultuous October with a resurgent ticket sales performance that has pushed their season attendance average up to 18,094 through their first 14 home games. While this still lags behind last season's averages of 18,567 and 18,662, the team has shown marked improvement compared to their dismal start in October.

The Blackhawks sold out three times during their four-game home stand, with attendances of 20,411 against the Avalanche, 18,933 against the Wild, 19,755 against the Predators, and 19,912 against the Ducks. These big crowds have boosted the team's attendance average, bringing them up to 11th in the NHL.

In contrast, October was a difficult month for ticket sales, with the Blackhawks averaging only 16,806 fans per game - well below league average. The team failed to sell out the Oct. 11 home opener and drew fewer than 17,000 fans for four of their next five games. This trend is a significant improvement from last season, where the Hawks struggled to draw big crowds.

The Blackhawks attribute their improved ticket sales performance to increased visibility on TV, thanks in part to Chicago Sports Network's availability on Comcast this season. The team has also stepped up its marketing efforts, including more visible advertising around the city and at O'Hare Airport than ever before.

While it's still too early to say if the team's on-ice improvement will have a direct impact on ticket sales, Blackhawks officials are confident that their attendance numbers will continue to rise. They finished last season averaging 18,585 fans per game and have plenty of room for growth in the coming seasons.

The Blackhawks' performance is just one part of a broader trend in NHL ticket sales, which remain strong across the league. With all 32 teams selling out or nearly every game, and attendance averages above 87% of arena capacity, the NHL's popularity continues to soar.
 
idk wut its about, but Blackhawks attendance is def on the rise! 🀩 they went from super slow in october to crushing it now πŸ˜… sold out 3 times in a row? thats lit! πŸ’₯ and its not just bc of TV visibility, tho that cant hurt πŸ“Ί i think its cuz they stepped up their marketing game, got more ads around the city & o hare airport. anywayz, Blackhawks fans are happy & attendance is def on the up πŸš€ now lets see if it carries over to the rest of the season πŸ‘€
 
im not surprised they're seeing an uptick in attendance after that rough October, but 18k average is still kinda low considering their big-name players πŸ€”. still, it's a step in the right direction and more visibility on tv has gotta count for something. and marketing efforts are always a good thing, especially with more visible ads around town 😊. we'll just have to wait and see if this momentum carries over into the rest of the season.
 
ugh, NHL attendance numbers are still pretty crazy... I mean, 18,094 fans per game is no joke 🀯, but at the same time, it's like we're living in a bubble or something. the league just can't seem to drop below 87% arena capacity, even with all these empty seats during the off-seasons... what's up with that? πŸ€‘ and yeah, increased visibility on TV might have had something to do with this boost, but i'm still not convinced it's gonna translate to better attendance in the long run πŸ€”
 
OMG 🀩 I'm lovin' how the Blackhawks are gettin' their act together on and off the ice! The fact that they've gone from sellin' out only once in Oct to three times now is insane 😲 and I'm here for it! Increased visibility on TV and some sick new marketing efforts have definitely helped, but let's be real, the team's actually playin' some decent hockey too πŸ’οΈ. Now that they're in 11th place in the NHL, I'm hopin' they can keep this momentum goin' and start pullin' in those big numbers for the rest of the season πŸ”₯.
 
πŸ€” the fact that hockey games can be super crowded now is actually kinda cool, you feel? like, a year ago it was a big struggle for the team to get people in the seats, and now they're selling out games left and right... I think it's great that they've stepped up their marketing efforts, though. TV visibility has definitely helped, but it's not just about being on TV, it's about making the experience fun for fans. if the hockey itself is getting better, then you can expect even more people to show up! πŸ˜„
 
omg can u believe the chicago blackhawks are killing it right now 🀯 their attendance is finally back on track after a slow start and i'm all about it! 😁 they've been getting so much visibility on tv and their marketing game has stepped up big time, it's no wonder people are flocking to watch them play in person. 18,094 fans per game is not bad at all, especially considering last season was a bit of a struggle πŸ€” but the team is confident that this trend will continue and i gotta agree, with the NHL being so popular right now, it's only going to get bigger and better πŸš€
 
omg u gotta feel for da Blackhawks right now! πŸ˜‚ their attendance is on fire! i mean its still not as high as last season but they're def making up for it. increased visibility on TV and more ads around town helped boost sales. i'm a big fan of the team so its great to see them bouncing back from that slow start in october 🀩 18,094 is no joke! πŸ‘ nhl tickets are still selling like crazy btw
 
I'm lovin' this update on the Blackhawks! Their ticket sales have seen a major boost after that slow start in October 🀩. It just goes to show how important it is for teams to engage with their fans and get the word out about games πŸ“Ί. The fact that increased visibility on TV and more marketing efforts are paying off is super encouraging for fans like me! πŸ’‘ And let's be real, who doesn't love a good sellout crowd? 🎟️ The team's confidence in their attendance numbers is well-placed too - 18,585 fans per game last season was already a big number, so it's great to see them building on that. Here's to an amazing rest of the season! ⚑️
 
I'm loving how the Hawks are killing it this season, especially with their attendance numbers! 🀩 I think it's awesome that they've stepped up their marketing game, getting more visible ads around the city and at O'Hare Airport - it's definitely making a difference. And let's be real, who doesn't love watching hockey in person?! The fact that they sold out three times during their recent home stand is insane! 🀯 I'm stoked to see their attendance numbers rising and hoping it'll have a direct impact on the team's performance on the ice too! πŸ’ͺ
 
omg what a huge improvement for the blackhawks!!! i'm so stoked they were able to turn things around after that slow start in october 🀩 their ticket sales are up and they're even selling out games again! it's def thanks to more visibility on tv and some solid marketing efforts πŸ’‘ i'm loving the new ads all over the city, i've seen them everywhere and they look so sick 😎 can't wait to see if this trend keeps going and if their attendance numbers keep rising πŸ“ˆ
 
I'm surprised they didn't see this coming, lol πŸ˜‚ I mean, when you consider that most of those games were against decent opponents like Avs and Preds, it's actually not too shabby for a slow start πŸ€”. And yeah, increased TV visibility is a big help – who doesn't love watching the Hawks on Comcast? πŸ“Ί They're getting some good PR out of this too, talking about how they've stepped up their marketing game πŸŽ‰. I'm still skeptical that it'll translate to more fans in the long run, but hey, at least they're doing something right 😊.
 
omg I cant believe its still taking them this long to get their act together lol 🀣 but seriously 18k is like a decent number for hockey fans I mean im no expert or anything but i think they should keep up the good work and not get too cocky about it though πŸ˜‚ we need to see how it carries over into december and january when the weather gets colder and people are all like "fuhgeddaboutit" ❄️
 
πŸ€” The resurgence of Blackhawk's attendance is quite fascinating! Their slow start in October was a stark contrast to their current performance. It's intriguing to see how increased visibility on TV and stepped-up marketing efforts have contributed to this improvement. I wonder, though, if the team's on-ice success will directly impact ticket sales? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ The Blackhawks' attendance numbers are still below league average, but they're getting closer. With 18,585 fans per game last season being the baseline, it'll be interesting to see how their attendance averages progress in the coming seasons. Overall, I think this trend is a positive sign for the NHL as a whole – strong attendance numbers indicate a loyal fan base and a healthy interest in the sport. πŸ‘
 
just saw this news about blackhawks and i gotta say, they really turned it around after that slow start in october πŸ€”πŸ‘€ their ticket sales are way up now and it's pretty cool to see them sell out 3 games in a row πŸŽŸοΈπŸ˜ƒ the thing is, i don't think it's just about the tv exposure, they must've done something else right, like increased marketing efforts or something πŸ“ΊπŸ‘
 
I'm stoked to see the Blackhawks turn their season around! Their October numbers were pretty dismal, but they managed to rebound big time 🀩. I think it's awesome that they're getting more visibility on TV and stepping up their marketing game - who doesn't love a good ad campaign? 😊 The fact that they sold out three games in a row is insane! And 18,094 fans already? That's still a bit below last season's numbers, but I'm sure they'll get there soon enough. It's also cool to see the rest of the league doing well - it just goes to show how passionate NHL fans are πŸ’οΈ. What do you guys think about this trend in ticket sales?
 
I'm not surprised they're seeing an uptick in attendance after that slow start. It's like they say πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ - you've got to start with a strong foundation before you can build momentum. And it sounds like the Blackhawks are finally hitting their stride on and off the ice. More visible TV appearances and some solid marketing efforts can only help, right? But what really matters is if this newfound enthusiasm translates into long-term success. Can they keep up the pace and maintain a high level of attendance throughout the season? Only time will tell πŸ€”
 
OMG, I'm loving how the Blackhawks are turning their season around after a slow start πŸ™Œ! Their increased visibility on TV, courtesy of Chicago Sports Network on Comcast, definitely helped boost ticket sales 😊. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good underdog story? The team's stepped up marketing efforts have really paid off, with big crowds at their home games 🎟️. I'm not surprised they're seeing an attendance average of 18,094 per game now - it's about time those fans came out to support the Hawks! πŸ˜„
 
they're doing better now lol think it's cuz they got more TV exposure πŸ“ΊπŸ‘€ and some sweet new ads around town πŸ‘ i'm kinda surprised they didn't sell out that first game tho πŸ’” anyways, 18k+ fans is still pretty cool 😎
