Yeah, the ticket tax as Flames revenue doesn't sit right with me. That is a tax, that is the money of users, which goes directly to paying down the debt. This new arena wouldn't be exclusively for hockey and lacrosse, when a concert, rodeo, etc is filling the building, how is that Flames revenue?

I'm not a fan of Ken King, he is a terrible pr man for a project like this.
