I suspect whatever the cap is, Cavalry is spending near it, so I think your theory has merit.
I think they spent a lot of money on players and stadium upgrades, but I think the pricing is reflective of where they want this team (and league) to be, which is pro level in the same category as the Stamps and the Flames at a caliber of play that is competitive with the lower end of MLS and higher end of USL.
It's been discussed before, but its hard to move prices up when your market is used to paying less. I think long term, if the Cavs build their proposed 12-16k+ stadium on the All Canada Ring, I suspect you'll see the price points stay roughly the same, but more of the lower price seating and a lot more of the top end options.
I also would not be surprised to see Cavalry do something when the transfer window opens up.
