I'm not going to go on principal. Throw in the cost of hotel, fuel, eating, drinking on top of tickets for two people and it easily runs into hundreds. Imagine trying to take a family?? Sorry, I can't justify that for two days of hockey.
Also, between the Devils and the arena you're talking a total of £10 per person (not transaction) just in 'booking fees'. I appreciate there are some costs incurred through the admin and transaction/banking process, but £10 per person, really? Come on.
This isn't football, it's a minority sport and when fans who're already engaged with the sport start turning their back and feeling disillusioned, it becomes a slippery slope.
I understand the need to maximise revenue after the last couple of years, but if they price out fans it creates its own problem.
Maybe the increase in pricing will be reflected in ticket sales.
