Quidditch in Crisis?

December, 2097
by: Jordan Thomas

With Quidditch starting up all the fans are rushing to pull out their favorite robes and the always fun trash talking between friends has started, but is it at the height that it usually is at this time of year? We are only a month in and it seems that ticket sales are down from previous years. What is going on this year that wasn't last year or the year before? Lucas Hawthorne announced just before the season started that the ministry would be raising the prices on tickets. With it only being two short years since the last spike in prices, many fans have become less excited about going to the matches.

If you go to a match, you are still seeing the excited fans cheering for their favorite teams, but you aren't seeing as many. "It's crazy how empty the seats are. We are usually so busy on match days in the concession stands, but this season so far it's less crowded which always means less money coming in." Crysten is just one of the many workers that are noticing a difference this season.

The question still is why did they raise the prices and why are people less likely to go out and buy the tickets? Many speculations from older fans are that there have been so many player changes that they don't feel as devoted. Now that great player like Hamilton, Whittebrook-Low, both Odessas, Botros, Barnard, and many other players have retired, the thrill isn't there for the ones that once were devoted to their favorites. Still, there are many up and coming players that are shining through and some veterans that still rock the quidditch world like Summers, Potter, Andres, Thatcher, and many more that fans should be excited enough about to support their favorite sport.

If this trend keeps happening, the Department of Games and Sports will need to answer to the fans as to why they can't afford to see matches anymore, and if they can't afford matches then teams will start to suffer. It looks likes a cycle that will need to be stopped. When asked to comment about it, Department Head Victoria Culloden was unreachable. So it leaves us as well as all the fans to wonder, what is really going on?
