Let me see, go on a beautiful vacation to an exotic location in Europe or sit in a dump and watch entitled millionaires chase a rubber disk with little passion or care. Choice seems obvious to me.
Hats off to those individuals who have had enough of this price gouging and are dropping their tickets. As long as people continue to pay these ridiculous prices (and getting little in return) nothing will change. I don't blame the owners for upping prices if people continue to pay. The problem with pro sports is not the owners and players (I mean who would turn down money), it's the fans who continue to buy into this. You see how fast tickets prices, athlete salaries, and owner profit would drop if everyone just stopped watching or attending. Alas, I am living in a dream world.

Lots of tickets are utilized for business purposes, so there is that.
Not a dream world, but a somewhat unrealistic world.
Just because the product has become boring in Calgary, doesn't mean it isn't thriving elsewhere.
