The Flyers have missed the playoffs in two of the last three seasons, but an influx of promising rookies has given them a boost at the box office.
According to a club spokesperson, when the Flyers recently put single-game tickets for sale, they quickly sold 10,000 — an increase of 5,000 over a similar period last year.
“We’re very appreciative and encouraged by the fans’ interest,” said Shawn Tilger, the Flyers’ executive vice president and chief operating officer.
Tilger said Flyers have about the same amount of season-ticket holders — nearly 16,000 — as a year ago.
