The Flames should then add in the GST and Ticketmasters' take to their total. And while they're at it, add our transportation costs to and from, babysitting fees, etc. Hell, anything I spend at the facility (food, heroin beer, 50-50 tickets) while at the event contributes to their equity contribution!
Don't get me wrong, I think the ticket tax absolutely should be part of the funding. I just think it is a little disingenuous for the Flames to take credit for all of it.
