There's no reason why they couldn't. They'd be better off locking people in to buy 80% of the year-by-year cost for 5 years than hope every year they don't lose another 2000 seats. But yeah they'd have to give people a reason to commit in the form of a better deal and/or better perks.
Right now there's hardly a reason to commit to a full season based on the offering aside from avoiding having to fight to pay almost double (and escalating each round) for playoff seats.
