16 Pound a ticket to watch Coventry Blaze. More than 4 Pound more than what I personally pay to watch Coventry City (I'm a season ticket holder).
Are Blaze fans being ripped off or is the price reasonable?

I think it's too high, but I'm still happy to pay it as long as I get to watch a team that gives 100% week in week out.

Given the escalation in prices and the evidence of empty seats it would appear the prices are too high. The question is though can Blaze afford to drop the prices to entice say 600 more people to turn up like they used to do

Not doing the math now but sure if they dropped the price a few ££ and got 600+ more people in then they would make more money. Same with everything though and no one does it. If the cinema was cheaper more people would go, more profit. If the buses were cheaper more people would use them, more profit.

The problem with the 16Pound price is that while those that are already hooked will pay it, it makes it less attractive to potential new fans. I chat about hockey to the blokes at work but almost feel embarrassed to tell them the price of a ticket as I know the kind of reaction that I'll get.

Exactly. Don't forget that a lot fewer people are paying the higher prices as evidenced by the increasing number of empty seats.
Those that do come are likely to be spending less on merchandise or refreshments from Bings- Remeber that Bings is only open to Ice Hockey customers during game time so in theory an incentive based reduction on entrance tickets would lead to 600+ extra people attending and more importantly spending more once inside the Arena
