As its been mentioned a few times, this is the crux of the matter. Its way too expensive to actually go to the game.
The NHL is a 'Gate-Driven' league, pretty much the only one I'm familiar with, most other sports make the majority of their money from TV deals so they can afford to have cheaper tickets.
And its becoming a problem on all sides. Those insane TV deals are apparently not such great investments, they've ruined Soccer in a lot of ways but the NHL still needs to put asses in seats.
You wouldnt know it by how they treat the fans though.
