I don't think glass tickets will EVER fall to $25 at ANY arena... If it came to that the team would be losing so much money they'd fold well before. Cheapest glass side are AT LEAST $100 anywhere you look, and that's normal/fair.
Hell, tickets are cheap enough if you're willing to travel a bit. I've found $25 tickets about 5 rows back lower bowl to watch my Sharks play in Colorado, ~$65 for second row lowers in Anaheim and a little over $100 for glass in Phoenix; that's embarrassing enough for prices. Just comes down to whether it's worth it with gas included ~ Eastern teams are closer together, but I'm sure tickets are more expensive than these...
Nope! on Long Island you can get glass seat tickets for certain games for $25-30. In St Louis it was $25-40 to sit close to the glass in the lower bowl until they started winning. Having a winning product on the ice definitely helps. Before the Hawks won the cup I could get $25 upper bowl tickets. In Boston tickets have always been pricey but since the Cup win, upper bowl tix regularly go for $70-100...
and let's not even talk about the fact that Habs tickets regularly retail for $125 for last row seats. o_O it all depends on the rabidity of your fanbase.
