POLL TRY #2: Max. Price Point for SINGLE TICKET Buyers

[Mark]

Sure seems like ticket prices will jump at any new location (if there is one). Go to Aldershot and on-street parking options drop tremendously as well. What $ increase in your normal game day costs are you prepared to accept?

I’ve given a comparison to help. Note: THIS POLL IS FOR SINGLE SEAT BUYERS.

Restoring Green Paladin’s comment from the original thread.

I doubt they’ll get away with too much of an increase but one will come as every idea out there has them losing at least 5000 seats in the new facility. The Riders sell out every game at inflated prices these days due to the culture in Sask./good football that they’ve been playing over the last five years but Edmonton too have the advantage of a Western culture that is glued to the sport. I think a more comparable team to look at would be the Als and, when they finally arrive, the Renegades since the Eastern football culture is a tad different and we have a lot more noise around here (Blue Jays, Toronto FC, theme parks, etc. etc…).

You can't complain about the price of CFL football!!
What's wrong with paying $50 a ticket for 10 games that less than $10 a week!!

I think there's more than enough people in the region that can afford to pay a decent price to watch a game.
Forget the cheap end zone tickets, these people buy cheap seats and then move up.

By my guess, the average game day experience will increase atleast 30% of 2011 prices.....$30 for parking, $10 beers, $9 hot dogs, sushi plates-not to mention basic seat increases. Centrefield tickets will probably top the $85 mark and who could blame them? A brand spanking shiny new stadium with parking!

If Paletta gets the stadium built in Aldershot, I will not only pay a premium for seats, but I will also call my next kid "Angelo," even if it is a girl.

I don't know of any theatres, stadiums that allow you to bring in food or water. I can't think of any hospitals that will provide free parking. So this that in mind, it's all about the business of selling you entertainment. I have eliminated drinking at the games several years ago becuase I drive an hour to attend the games. My license is more important than getting a buzz on at the game. As far a prices - I beleive the CFL is has great value for the entertainment dollar. I have 2 seats in Box J - for years. I still consider the trip and all the food and solf drinks part of the game. Good thing I'm not a Leaf fan who would like to be able to watch the game from a reasonable seating location.

Bump (to keep it high on the list for 2 more days).
