Yes, OK.
But the point of the new arena is so that Murray Edwards can charge double those prices.
So we are giving him taxpayer money so that he can charge us more for entertainment that is generally out of reach for a lot of Calgarians, and even the non-premium games will end up being significantly more.

And everybody pays property taxes.
EDIT: just for reference, the cheapest ticket against the Ducks is just over $30 at the Saddledome. For the Oilers vs Ducks game? Just over $80. If y’all think anyone is going to a Flames game for less than that once the new arena arrives you’re dreaming.
