Even if you make $100,000 a year, you'd take home 70,000. That's about 1/70 of your entire income for dinner and a hockey game?? Wow

wow, the pricing is getting out of hand, it's shameful this game should be packed to the brim with fans cheering on the team instead there are almost whole rows available.

No doubt. I'm down in Medicine Hat, currently on spring break/patch crash and would absolutely love to drive up to CGY for a playoff game.
Can't justify it for those prices, especially with the loss of days and day rate so far this year.

Have you ever been to a playoff game? (not counting nosebleeds)
Worth every penny!

I would absolutely love to go to a Flames game. I watch every game, have for what must be 6 years. Thing is going to one would be financially irresponsible and would set me back way too much. So too bad for people like me I guess. Not the end of the world but can't spare a few hundred for one night.

Nope. But 1,000 for nosebleeds still ain't worth it for me

Fail by the Flames?
Red and yellow pom poms given away at the game look orange from a distance:

That doesn't seem that bad to me. I usually sell regular season tickets in Edmonton for games against Montreal and Toronto for $200 each.
Its the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

I havent seen ANY nosebleeds for $500 a ticket! that is crazy...
I did however see some Section 214 Row 13 Seats sell for $125 per an hour ago.... not a bad deal, but I assume for those people to sell that low they took a loss to get anything for their tickets.
But even as a season ticket holder overall I agree the prices are pretty outrageous, just under double what I paid per seat for the regular season (STH cost) face value was over triple what I paid...
Back on topic, GO Flames! I predict a 3-2 Flames win with an intense last 5 minutes.
