Make no wonder the CeeBees are having a hard time. This league is tough to play in. The first few comments on the article are from CeeBee fans who are complaining about the $14 ticket. Are they crazy ? 2-3 hours of great hockey for $14. Jeeze a lunch at Subway costs more than that...I thought $14 was a great deal.

This league is very close to a pro league. The first year the CeeBees didnt make the Herder finals in forever last year and their fans are turned against them. I certainly hope these words are just from a few select fans and the CeeBees get the turn out they need.

They're not $14, well at least I didn't pay $14....lol

[bigsweed]

I thought they were $14 everywhere. I know $14 at the Joe. $13 in Gander but they messed up there. Supposed to be more but they just left it at $13

It is 13 bucks in Deer Lake as well for assigned seating.

I guess the extra dollar in GFW is because our fries are the best ;)

I do have to give a shout out to Gander though, their fries are pretty dandy.

The comments in the article are very outlandish and cruel..here is one

"Ceebees are flying in coaches, paying waterboys........the $$$ these fellers are being paid is too much. I had season tickets the last couple years, I'll be damned if I am paying for a feller to be bussed out from mt. pearl to fill our water bottles. I bet the hockey will be okay, but I can't fathom paying to go and help pay for flights for players and coaches when there are locals here just as good or better that can do the same job."

I think fans should appreciate roper if that who they are referring too. If he can't drive himself out and take a bus how much is that really adding to the cost. He is an experienced guy with alot of heart. He also does more then fill water bottles.

There is alot more then David $$ causing the raise in ticket prices thats for sure. If he wasnt so valuable to the team I suspect that team management would get rid of him but he obviously brings something to the table. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP DAVE!!
