Am not a cheap guy but seriously $9.75 of service charges per ticket per game that enough to tick me off!
The ticket business is the only business that I know who get away with charging peoples for the privilege of doing business with them. Now mind you the entertainment business usually charge a per transaction service charge meaning that no matter how many tickets you buy it only one charge not one per item! The banks have service fees but mostly you don't buy things from a bank you get services. Beside if you make many transaction they got service plan that let you have a flat monthly rate.
$9.75 per game, per ticket is just the first of many money grab an Habs fan who want to see a game is victim of. Let pass on the actual price of the tickets mainly because that life in the NHL. At least in Canada
$25 that the price of parking at the Bell center on game night.
Foods and drinks mainly Beer will also cost you an arm and a leg. Once upon a time the game started at 8:00 or even 8:30 PM you always had the time to eat somewhere else before going to the old Forum. So it no surprise that now the game start at 7:30 or even 6:30, they want you hungry and thirsty!
Souvenir for the kids you can't go to a game and get back empty handed that gonna cost you!
The Reebok EDGE Montreal Canadien Authentic Home Jersey will cost you $289 on Amazon. Likely made in a Chinese sweatshop by the way! Did I mention that if you want your mom to see you on TV you better wear one! On the other hand if you don't want the wife to know you were at the game... It no surprise that the team has a fake jersey problem at that price!
Come to think of it that $9.75 service charge is not so bad after all! If you can afford the stiff ticket price and the rest, the service charge should not bother you much... Otherwise RDS has every Habs game in HD.

Agree completely. It's borderline extortion. I want to go see a game this season - and I mostly want to go to Montreal to visit some fellow Habs fans - but I dunno if I'm willing to drop the coin. The game would be more expensive than the airfare and hotel combined. But I haven't been to an NHL game since the Old Forum. What to do... *sigh*
