Next year will be worse. The ticket prices for downstairs seats are expected to be around $120 according to the newspaper that did a column on the new arena. Once you add everything up, for a family of 4 to go to a game, you are spending over $500 for tickets, parking, food, tolls, and anything junior wants to buy at the trinket counter.

Hockey doesn't have the fan base that baseball and football have. The price for tickets is rediculous. And on top of all that, we as tax payers still have to pay off this new arena over the next umpteen million years.

The number of seats sold during the regular season will drop off quite dramatically, despite the new arena opening. The novelty will wear off quickly in light of the cost.
