The thing is, they will be removing 4000 of the cheapest seats, and adding 3000 of the more expensive seats. Anybody sitting in Black right now will have to move to Green. So add 40% to your 15-20%. Now that all the PL STHs are in the Green seats, Green will move to Orange, etc.
I looked at Edmonton. Prior to last year my seats in the Dome were comparable in price. Seats similar to mine went up about 60% in the new arena. Even the cheapest seats at Rogers are still 15-20% more than my current seats.
I get why the Flames are doing this. It's a way to make more money. I just don't think my taxes should go up so the Flames can price their product out of my budget.
