We accept the fact that they need to charge more for the Avalanche than they do for the Nuggets but what we find annoying is that when we make the effort to go to the box office to buy tickets they charge us a fee to do so. Eveb for those "package" deals. Don't tell me I can take my family for $99 and then charge me $115 when I try to buy the tickets at the box office.

It way better to play in front of 23 000 fans in Montreal than to play in front of 7000 in Uniondale. You split the extra cash made in half and give the visiting team home ice advantage. Struggling teams will make more money that way and it will create more rarity for tickets in their market meaning that the remaining game that they will play at home will have an increased crowd.
