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.

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.
