1 Center ice tickets to a preseason game: $70.
1 Behind home plate ticket to a regular season Indians game: $45
Want to know why fans are so pissed at the league? Your games are not economical at all, and one of the reasons families would rather go see baseball.
I find it hard to believe that with the salary cap owners need to charge this much money. Don't get me wrong, I love my Jackets, but this greed is getting out of hand.

"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

Yeah Yeah Yeah!!! College athletics rule...unless you're OSU charging $61 a ticket. 
Center Ice Pre-season $70?????????
Pro sports are getting out of control. The average fan cannot afford those kinds of prices.
I remember the Blue Jackets sent me a ticket form. I called them and asked if the $93 ticket was a season ticket. The guy on the other end started laughing and said "Of course not...that is one game".
Then I started laughing and said "You MUST be jokin'! No thanks and take me off your contact list, please".
Probably not the best sales tactic on his part.

Circa 1995: One center ice ticket to a hockey game, $70 (Pittsburgh Penguins and Buffalo Sabres were this price. Obviously Columbus didn't exist back then).
One home plate ticket to an Indians game, $25 (or thereabouts. I don't remember the exact amount because I wasn't 'special' enough to get tix).
The inflation is much worse at stupid Tribe games.
