$799 for a lower bowl centre ticket is ridiculous. Moreso when there appears to be no discount for kids or seniors. The Oilers are very obviously looking at the Oil Kings as a cash cow.

compare that to chilliwack as a first year team. Their adult tix were 459$. Of course Edmonton is a different market. But $800 is insane, do they have a financing plan in place? Cripes.

Chilliwack had a payment plan, so expect Edmonton to do the same.

Agreed....it's pretty insane (prices of other clubs minus GST)
Chilliwack $459
Kamloops $449
Vancouver $558
Calgary $546.17
Red Deer $450 (Early Bird - GST inc.) $500 (reg. - GST inc.)
Kelowna $469

Good god! What the hell do you get with the $23 dollar seats? Does someone run to the beer stand for you?

So that is the STH price...what are the single game tixs going to cost?

Holy carp!!!!!!!!!!! We don't even get charged that much in Spokane & I thought our season ticket prices were high.

Likewise in Saskatoon, we charged $379 last year.

I wrote a few e-mails to the team saying how insane that was. More for my own satisfaction than anything. I still can't get over that though. 800 bucks. I was trying to track down oilers season ticket prices. Couldn't find them...what do they run?

For last season, the cheapest seats in Rexall (300s) were $1170 +tax for the Oilers. And that was a huge jump over 2005-06.

As another comparison, $799 is more than I paid for my Flames season tickets in the 300s for this season - though that will change for next year.
