I think there actually is an argument not to max out the ticket tax portion of the funding mix. That's in the interest of ensuring that events don't get so expensive that lower income Calgarians are totally priced out. Ideally a direct owner contribution would reduce reliance on ticket tax, but I wouldn't be totally shocked or upset if there was some public cash. I'm almost 100% land will be the primary public contribution, but perhaps some cash will be involved - maybe with this purpose in mind.
