Not, my questions are directly on the topic though I can't force you to answer them.
For instance...You said "The frankes can make as much profit as they want but they also should put out the best calibur of hockey they can afford. And they have not been doing that."
How do you know how much they can afford?

To everyone else who might know...
Not said that along with the product declining during the three years the Komets were in the IHL "while ticket prices have been rising."
Question for all, I believe there was an increase this year? Prior to that, when was the last increase and by how much? Just wondering from year one when the first cup was won until this year how much of an increase has taken place and if there has been an increase every year.

Oh Blaaaaakkkke.... That would be the Back 2 Back OHL and Memorial Cup Champion Windsor Spitfires lead by #1 Pick Taylor Hall as well as Ryan Ellis and Cam Fowler who will be skating in the NHL next year most likely.
Not bad for a "lower" brand of hockey ;)

Snuff, I asked the same question awhile back and didn't get an answer. I don't remember the last time prices went up, a few years anyway, or at least increases in insurance premiums, fuel, transportation, and other expenses ago.

When's the last time the price of sticks, pucks, skates, tape, uniforms, pads, helmets, and referees gone up? I threw in referees because according to some that's how we won three cups in a row..... :-)

I still think having both cups for opening night is a good idea. Let the captains skate them and then set them on a table during the national anthems. That way Guy can look at their captain and say, "Mine's bigger the yours".

Snuf: If memory serves, I believe last season was the only season the frankes did not raise ticket prices. They usually have raised them $1 every year they have owned the team.
That being said. I bury my hatchet. Enjoy the upcoming season. The only way I'll see a game this season is if I get free tickets. Peace.

The only "cups" that Rapid City should worry about are the ones in their shorts, they better be wearing them, because the Komets are coming to the dance looking to Hit Somebody!!!

How many years have the Frankes owned the team? At least $15? Raised them $1 a year every year but one?
Hmmmm. I guess tickets were really really cheap before.
Tell you what, when the season gets closer I will ask Scott Sproat to leave you a free ticket to a game. Since I don't know your name I'll put you in touch with Scott directly. Then you can tell him all of the things you have told us.
Notice on the Komets website they have a link for ideas?
I would suggest you leave your "koments" there. I know they actually do read them.

Bob, you can't go wrong on those 24oz beers at Kroger. I think I'll have a couple while in the pool.All "red headed hockey chicks welcome" :)

[shakes head] Yeah, okay, so that math doesn't add up. The Frankes have owned the team for 20 years so tickets must have cost $1 back in the day. Quite a bargain. Not to mention that I know for a fact that ticket prices didn't go up in either 2008 or 2009 because I was there. If you want to make an effective argument, you can't fudge on stuff like that.

Don't get me wrong. I take issue with the word "stupid" because at some point, one or more of you will be calling me "stupid", so if I don't speak up now about how it is wrong to call people that, it will be too late. Most people aren't truly "stupid" and those who are deserve sympathy, not scorn.

No, Schebig doesn't like red-headed hockey chicks. And Terre Haute -- not Indianapolis -- is the armpit of Indiana. I know. I lived there. But it grows on you. Literally! He-he. Aw, I kid... ;)

Snuf and wendy if you actually read my post you would have noticed that I said " If memory serves ". I was gone the first few years they owned the team. And tickets were cheap when the frankes bought the Flint Spirits franchise and moved it to the fort. The originaly komets franchise ended up in Albany NY which lasted about half a season. Anyway I remember in the mid 80s rinkside tickets were $4.50 for students. What are they now around $17 or so? Yea, thats fair. Thanks suf but i'll pass on the free tickets. I'll spend my entertainmet dollar actually being entertained. Peace out.

It costs me more to get us into a movie than a Komets game. Especially if it's a 3D movie....I have to take out a 2nd mortgage on my house to see one of those. ;)

OMG...mid-80's prices vs 2010. THAT was the post of the day, not an ihl fan. Funny, funny stuff....

Wendy- For the record I never called NOT stupid. I said you can not fix stupid. I have learned my lesson about calling bloggers stupid. I respect and appreciate everyone on here some more than others.

Why do you think I don't like you? You make fantastic "Doggy" treats and therefore Bubba loves you. I really enjoy red headed hockey chicks and studs.

Alan- Thanks, you made some very good points I hadn't taken into consideration. That was why I ask you the question. I knew you would.

Burgee -- Smoooooooch!

For the record: I sat rink side in the 60's and never got a ticket for $4.50.

Now back to our regular scheduled programing!

Soooo.....
First you say you'll go if the tickets are free and now you turn down the tickets. Even though you said you would pay $15 for a ticket?
Why didn't you buy the team back when it was for sale? If you had, season tickets would be about $50 per person and you would be so popular you could have been the governatur of this here territory!
Have you ever games like Scrabble or even doing crossword puzzles for entertainmet? You might even like Wheel Of Fortune?
On the whole stupid thing, yeah I have called (and been called) names and it really degrades things so I am trying to stay away from it. I might say something someone says is stupid or ignorant but calling a person behind a screen name stupid when in most cases we don't really know that person is well....stupid. lol

I think I'll stop responding to snufs posts. They are starting to ramble. And Dschebig I said STUDENT prices were $4.50 in the mid 80s. I have old ticket stubs to prove it.

Ok, you are going to accuse me of making false statements? Do you have any facts to back that up? Or are you just going to go round and round throwing crap at the wall and hope it sticks?

Not,
would you like me to make a list highlighting all of the things you have said on this thread that myself and others have proven to be incorrect?

snuf: only if the other bloggers in here want you to. Good luck. I'm sure it will be a short list.

MR SNUFFLUPUGUS

The other bloggers already know. However if you are going to accuse me in a public of making false and slanderous statements like you continue to do, you had better have FACTS to back it up!

Ahhh nevermind. I am not going to call you stupid but your posts show you to be mentally deficient as much as they lack credibility. Everyone here knows it and nobody at this point is going to stop you from making them. I've proven my point and don't need to beat a dead deficient. Enjoy your postings. We'll see you at the game opening night I am sure of it.

What facts have I presented that you dispute since you are telling me I am wrong?
I am done discussing it with the other poster because they refuse to address the facts. However if there are facts you feel that I have stated incorrectly, I am open to discussing it.

To Notanihlfan: Did you read the AHL ticket prices that blb linked us too? Rinkside 65 at game time not to mention the other seats not rinkside. If you are STUPID "sorry wendy" enough to think that Fort Wayne would pay those ahl prices then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

Tim, there are a few here that only care about their agenda and telling others they are wrong when presented with facts that they cannot argue with facts of their own. I have realized it is best to not try to argue or enlighten those types.
