That is an "opportunity cost" then. It's not "their money" - and they have no guarantee that the price they set is a price that fans will pay.
ie $200 for a ticket + $20 facility fee = happy fan
but $220 ticket = unhappy fan
Just like we're all grumpy to pay GST (try living in BC where you have to pay PST on a **used** vehicle as well) - we accept that is the cost of doing business. Does it stop us? Not much. But an absolute increase in price of a particular good or service might. (Cigarettes are an example - steep price rise has contributed to a decline in smoking.)
It's not Flames money - but it "might be" money they could otherwise charge. "Might be" is a long way from "is".
