Don’t need a hotel room to watch TV.
The last I heard, the Seattle Sounders had higher attendance than the Mariners. The locals might buy a ticket but not rent a hotel room.
“ “AHLA has found that bookings are well below expectations”
Maybe because prices are way above expectations? People are not stupid enough to be taken advantage of.
One exsmple….the four mile train ride to GIANTS (MetLife) STADIUM from Secaucus Jct has been priced at $125. Over a hundred bucks more that a football game.
don't talk about the huge price increase due to big sport's event..... that high price room rate, higher airfare and estimated higher local costs for everything have NO EFFECT on people's plans....
