I can’t imagine shelling out $1,700 for the “opportunity” to eat hot dogs and popcorn. If it was all-you-can-drink with beer included they might get my attention.

While I tend to agree with you, $39 bucks isn’t a bad price, especially if you were going to get some food at the game anyway.  As we know, arena food prices are astronomical, so even if you don’t eat a ridiculous amount, this could still end up saving you money.

$39 is an awesome price. I can’t even park in downtown Vancouver and eat a hot dog for $39, much less attend a game. 

But like Kevin said, if they really want to amp up my interest, throw in that all-you-can-drink beer,and I’ll never leave the damn building…

Who is in charge of making sure these ticket holders don’t give the food away and return for more?

More important...how will that be done and what will it cost?

Probably have ushers at the edges of the sections to make sure the food doesn’t get passed, like contraband, so to other spectators.  That’s how some baseball parks work their all-you-can-eat sections.

Just what people need - incentive to pig out more than they already do.

I’m in with kevin and Alanah.
All you can drink Molson’s and a ticket for $39....THAT will fill the arena!

Baseball parks like Pittsburg do this and it is fine. I think it is 35 per game.
If you think about the cost of one of each of those items it is a deal. I live in MA and this is the only thing you can really get a deal on for sport right now.
