I would guess they could charge $10 for a beer right now and most people would still pay. If you feel like you're living up to your own sense of worth and moral principles by not attending a hockey game and/or not drinking beer at said game, all the more power to you. Consumers vote with their dollars.
But frankly, and with all due respect, nobody cares.

Have you seen the latest attendance numbers? People are already deciding to stay home and watch the game while enjoying their $2 beers. Of course it's not all about the concessions, but a lot of people are not feeling it's worth the cost or hassle to go to games in person.
