Rumour has it that the playoffs for the regular season ticket holders in grand falls-windsor are going to be out of reach for the common Joe who has 2,3, or more people in the family and always supported the team from day one. Just say a family of four want to take in the Herder. It will cost them 200 or more dollars for a weekend for only tickets. What will the cost be 20 for playoffs 25 or thirty for final. I would like for the Cats and other teams management to come clean with the fans and tell them who is setting the price of the playoffs and why so high. Is it hockey Newfoundland or the teams themselves. With the advent of mile one, pepsi center and the bigger arena more people more money for the league greed took over. Not all areas have or can afford your 3000 seats so why should they have to pay through the teeth to see a game. Back in the 70s and 80s tickets went up by only four or five dollars. It is getting to be a game of greed. The man with the deep pockets come on in.I would like for HNL the WCHL and the AESHL to put the cards on the table and explain why the tickets will be out of reach for the common Joe if Herder is in Grand Falls-Windsor.I talked to many people who said if the price is inflated that much they will not support the Cats next year.

The price is so high because they are paying there players big money.THIS IS NOT THE NHL.The is good old senior hockey.The west coast should take it easy on your fans because they are what keeps the league going.If there was no fan support.There would not be any good players brought in?

if the cats are fortunate enough to make it to the herder and play at the joe, i for one would not mind paying 25 or 30 bucks for a ticket ... you go out of town it's gonna cost you more than that..
