“Can the Buffalo Sabres Break the Cycle of Heartbreak? A Fan’s Tale of Endurance and Hope”
One of those empty seats for that game belonged to Louie Gott, a season ticket holder for the last 30 years. Gott has decided not to renew his season tickets and is purposely leaving his seat empty for the remainder of the season, in part to make a statement and in part because selling and even giving away tickets has become more work than it’s worth.

To understand exactly what Gott is giving up, you need to understand his origin story as a season ticket holder. When Gott was 11, his father got out of prison, and the two didn’t have much of a relationship. Hoping to build a bond with his son, his father asked Louie what he liked. He told him he liked the Sabres, so his dad bought them season tickets.
