In a winner take all event like the NFL playoffs, it makes sense prices are high from a business perspective. This is nothing more than indefensible gouging at its finest. As a team and league, you can still charge a premium (which i fully expect), but you don't need to be dicks about it.
I expected pricing more inline with reality (and the economy), especially out of a team crying the blues about public support for a new building. Your supply and demand mantra will lead fans right to regular season pricing not far off of this once a new building is finally erected.

To be clear, you’d rather that a scalper makes a 50% mark-up on tickets than the Flames themselves?
