You can't even get into a regular season Flames game for less than $40 anymore (excluding people dumping the season tickets at a discount). I shudder to imagine what Flames tickets will cost in 7 years (especially if they build that inverted bowl idea -- which is basically designed to make sure there are no more "cheap seats" in the arena).
Oh no doubt there will be affordable tickets, but those will be to events where there likely isn't a true capacity or assigned seats (and, you know, events people aren't anywhere near as interested in as hockey). But I already said if they intend on charging big, and can get it, then great. I just think a lot of that $230 average hinges on NHL involvement. Next CBA will tell the tale there obviously.
