Yes. For example, MSG may be more expensive, but the concessions options are much higher quality. MSG has legitimately delicious food, Rogers is literally frozen chicken strips.

I once had security called on me at Rogers because i asked for a cup of water, I didn't want to pay for a $6 bottle of water. It's a liquor law, if you serve alcohol, you must serve water for free. However, I only had this problem in the upper bowl. Lower bowl, they'll give you a cup of water no problem.

what i hate about the prices is that it really makes the Oilers no money in the big picture. How much are the making per year on this? Few million? Peanuts. The funny thing is I would LOVE to see a team rollback prices to a NORMAL amount ($3 for a hotdog, $5 for a beer, $2 for a soda) and i bet they make more money because people would actually buy it. I dont buy anything at a game these days.

@dalriada 14 күн бұрын

But the lineups are already absurdly long so I think part of the purpose of these high prices is to discourage people from leaving their seats.

Incredibly disappointed in the team. Advertised themselves like they weren't like the other money hungry teams by not advertising their equipment this year. Only to launch an incredibly overpriced streaming service which involved removing free live player and coach interviews from social media. Then to also increase concession prices to bankrupt any fan who already spent a days paycheque to watch the team live. For any Oilers fan outside of Alberta, it's probably time to sail the seven seas.

I don't know what cinema food prices are in Edmonton. I do know I do not pay that much for combos at the cinema. Popcorn combo includes drink, candy, & a free rental digital download. Yes, in HD. Hot dog combo (nachos, drink) price at the cinema is closest to the beer & hotdog combo at the rink. The cinema drinks are Coca-Cola branded drinks.

Now do this again but add in how much the tickets to an Oilers game costs a night. The people that run that team are actually insane or just snorting coke every night they have to make these decisions. Also literally no arena has a menu on their site of whats offered and what prices are, because if the general public saw how outrageous food prices are at arenas they be more inclined to just eat outside the arena (which is valid af considering most restaurants would fail if they gouged the f out of their customers.

It's inexcusable in my opinion. I go to all the oil kings games and some oilers games each year. The hotdogs are some of the worst stadium/arena hotdogs out there, the burgers and chicken strips aren't enough food to fill you up, and the prices are horrendous. Many nights (depending on my work schedule) I'll literally skip eating dinner if I'm there, simply because I cannot justify spending $50 for such bad food

I have been to Ball Arena (Avalanche) as a season ticket holder. I have never eaten their, because you have no idea when they have cooked those hamburgers ($12.00) hot dogs or even popcorn. I once saw a guy eat an entire bucket of popcorn full of butter in 20 minutes. I have learned eat before I go. A Pepsi in their Ball Arena aluminum cup is $7.00. Even a box of M&M's $6.50. Same as you get from the Dollar Store. Avalanche jerseys at the team store are Adidas $255.00) , I just purchased a Nichushkin one.

@JJ-fg2wd Жыл бұрын

Streaming somehow became worse than cable. It incentivized breaking everything into smaller and smaller chunks at far higher prices. The only innovation that exists nowadays is creating outrage with ridiculous prices/pricing structures that the public anchors themselves to....and then companies "capitulate" by lowering their prices to what they were probably planning on charging in the first place.
