The market has set the price of Flames tickets. That price is much higher, relative to average incomes, than it was 30 years ago. So fewer Calgarians can afford to see the Flames play live today than in the past.
There's nothing at all wrong with that from a business point of view. However, it certainly is a factor in public perceptions about the community merits of a new arena. Watching a live NHL game is seen as a luxury experience for the wealthy. The public appetite for subsidizing the luxury experiences of the wealthy is not high.
