I am not trying to belittle any of your arguments here and nor do I want to enter into a who is most hard done by comparison either. I would just like to give another perspective to consider is all. I now live in Edmonton Alberta and within a 5 minute drive of Rogers Place, home of the oilers. Ice hockey heaven, great club, history and current roster recently bolstered by addition of the worm Corey Perry the man who put the shit into shithousery. You would think right? Not exactly. The cost of lower bowl tickets from box office if you can get them start at $300 canadian. This is not for walk ups the same week, no it is for what have you got available? Teams like Ducks, Coyotes, Sharks or similar busted flush teams. Blackhawks were on that list until they got Connor Bedard.....so I have been here almost 2 years and only ever watched Arizona/Phoenix Coyotes and twice only. Great night out and theatre at its best but a once a year treat to watch NHL version of Fife Flyers...... Alternatives I have now are a$92 monthly subscription to Sportsnet or visit to my local sportsbar for food and drinks obviously. Given that they play almost every other night, give or take ,means a lot of bar hopping at expense to both pocket and marriage. I now have sportsnet and a wife that is only marginally less grumpy to have me home at night than in the bar because she gets a very regular night of hockey which she doesn't like and no real tv for her......
I held devils season tickets back in the day (in all 3 arenas) and I would urge no knee jerk reactions to this possible pricing oversight because I guess you may never be able to go back afterwards. If somebody else takes your seat it could be gone forever. I am an old fart too, not sure how many more coherent seasons are left in me and I have learned you just cannot trust them folk from Calgary, and also never to say never.
