It has very little to do with supporting the rebuild or not (which I do support), but right now I feel that I am being gouged for a crappy product. The organization could easily drop their prices by 10% and still be making a healthy profit.

What business pre-emptively lowers prices 10% without seeing a significant sales decline to force the price cut? I certainly understand the frustration of seeing a price increase so the team can cut their pay roll. But until sales start to decline I don't think you will see a roll back.
I do hope the Flames commit to bringing some type of value though to the STH, be it concession and merchandise discounts, or the rights to extra playoff tickets when the day comes. It's easy for a fan who never goes to a game to scream rebuild. They don't shell out a dime to watch a team who they expect to lose 60% of the time.
