My seats as an example, list price of $125. Floor price on TM resale is $84. I end up selling them for $50-60 on other markets, which is below my actual cost. And that's a row 14 center ice seat, so you can find even cheaper in less desirable areas. I've had friends sit at the top of the 200's for $20 a ticket.
If you spend some time searching for tickets, it's actually quite affordable to take a whole family to the game this year. Exception is Leafs game.

For me, the ticket price isn't the turn-off. It's pretty easy to find cheap seats if I'm buying a ticket for myself. The turn-off is the ridiculous food prices. $6 for a single slice of pizza? $7 for a crappy re-named hotdog (Pocket Dawgs are a scam and I can't believe people buy them)? I stopped buying food there. It's just stupid. I eat a big dinner before I leave so I'm not even tempted to spend money there. It's a shame, I actually quite like the nachos, but $7-$9? Nope.
