These prices indicate that Spruce Meadows is not willing to do so. Especially with the added gouge of $10 parking when everything else there is free.
So the question is: what will they do if they find they are losing money anyway? It doesn't speak to an organization that would be in it for the long haul.
And it's not going to look good when they are announcing 1500 as official attendance with less than 1000 people actually there because the businesses they sold those expensive seats to have nobody actually going, the hardcore fans have bought up all the cheap seats and the casual fans have been priced out.
I get the logic behind what Spruce Meadows is doing, but it is flawed. They are far more likely to do long term damage to the viability of soccer in this city than anything else if they don't address this by year 2.
