The problem with a ticket surcharge, at least in Edmonton's case, is that the money is borrowed from the city. I'm guessing Edmonton doesn't just have 125 million dollars sitting in a bank account that they can toss over to Katz to build the arena and wait the 25 years it takes for it to get repaid.
They have to borrow it, increasing the city debt, which eventually will trickle down to the taxbase paying for super rich people maximizing their profits.
If the Flames want to take a loan for the cost from a financial institution, and then tack on a ticket surcharge to repay that ... I'm all for it and have no qualms about the extra charge on my tickets.
