Trib: Hawks to increase tix price

By Patrick Kissane | May 08, 8:59 PM

According to the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Blackhawks are planning to raise prices significantly next season. According to the story, the average increase will be 16 percent, but some prices will increase 85 percent. The lowest priced tickets, $10 for a season ticket holder, will increase 50 percent, according to the story.

The highest priced ticket, a $275 day of game ticket, will increase to $285. Eric Rabbers, described as a season ticket holder in the 300 (nose bleed) level was quoted as empathizing with the move: "especially in my section, the prices we were paying were pretty cheap."

Yeah, for that money, maybe they could actually put together a team that could make the playoffs. Duh!
