Friedman has mentioned on podcast that the models they used to justify this plan (and Bettman's insane comments that this may lose less money this way than in Glendale) involved ludicrously high ticket prices...like $250 average or something.
It'll be hard for them to have much of a pricing mix since they are all 'lower bowl' seats.
In Glendale right now a lower bowl red-line seat is around $137; endzone $83-95 with thousands of seats available. No idea what the discount is on ST's.
Managing season tickets vs. single game will be a real challenge, too.
