It's absolutely ridiculous in a city going through a rough economic time, that the Flames would raise the prices for the playoffs as much as they did.

I don't care how this makes me look but it needs to be said. MR Bettman and (Flames) company keep talking about how a new building will bring Calgarians a better quality of life but explain to me how the heck I'm supposed to afford going to a playoff game when the prices are so high? How is the saddledome in any way improving my quality of life? It's actually making it worse knowing I can't afford to go to a playoff game. A middle class fan who can't afford to attend your hockey game in a building that's not even new.

God help us when they actually build a building and raise the prices even more.

Calgary is in the worst economic times since the 80's and the Flames decided $110 was reasonable for nosebleeds? For seats that you can't even see the jumbotron? I know it's not 2004 still but those seats used to be $25 for playoffs. A 450% increase? Ridiculous.
