Agreed. I live in a market/support a team where I can get tickets for $30 or less for nearly every home game and realize how lucky I am. I might buy higher priced tickets as a Christmas or birthday gift (or as a present to myself, once, for making it through a hellish semester) but some people spend what I pah in rent each month for hockey tickets. It's insane to me.

I moved quite a distance from my hometown, where tickets are usually going to be more than that unless you're friends with a STH, but I can see non-rival teams play the local team for that price most of the time. And I can see my hometown team visit for that as long as I order tickets far enough ahead of time. I think the cheapest I've gotten were $19, but I've seen tickets for as low as $15 on occasion. When I've paid more than $30, it's been a special occasion/special treat thing. I also don't go that often, which also makes a difference. I think my logic is "this is no more than twice the cost of seeing a movie in a theater, and it's a live entertainment product."

I could see wanting to be a STH if you had the income and planned on re-selling tickets/the bulk price was worth it for the number of games you wanted to see. But I just don't have it in me to drop $70 on a regular basis. If you're a single person, that's probably more than a week of food.

I live in an expensive market, and paid $100 to see a game with my friend for her birthday (which happens to be New Year's Eve, which added to the cost). But that was a once a year experience for me and I would never accuse other people of being bad fans for not wanting to pay that. Regardless, deciding a certain ticket price isn't that bad because you and your friends have paid more to go to games is ridiculous.
