Gasoline? Regular, Regular+, Premium, Premium+

Nice to see our analytics department hard at work.
Guys, we have to get everyone in BC to not buy tickets for a few games straight, then we can buy them for $1! Checkmate, Aquilini.
JK still wouldn't spend a dime to support this joke of a franchise right now
This is the new age of pricing. Happens in many industries including food & beverage and golf. Nothing new here.
But of course, we will all get up in arms over some perceived slight against the fans or something.

Yep. The value of something is exactly equal to the price people are willing to pay for it. Simple as.
It makes me laugh when people whine about gas prices. Really? $1.30 for a liter of gasoline is a rip-off? Yet you pay $3.99 for a liter of ****ing water and don't think twice about it.
Sure it is.
Sure it is.
Sure it is.
Flames fan coming in peace! (it's a one time thing)
I'm going to be in Surrey for Soccer nationals, and luckily while I'm there the Canucks will be hosting the Flames. It's the Canucks home opener and I wasn't sure what the deal was on tickets as I've never been to the city before. I checked ticketmaster and couldn't find anything. If anybody could tell me around when they usually go on sale, about how much it would cost for some decent seats, and If they sell out instantly?
Thanks a bunch!!
P.s I wasn't really sure where to ask this but I seen a thread with tickets in the title so I thought it would be fitting, if it belongs in a different thread a mod can feel free to move it!
I'd argue bottled water is a luxury, not fuel. We don't know how lucky we are to fill our 6L toilets of clean, world class water to just flush our crap away. We have fresh water at the flick of a wrist while 5,000+ kids in the Congo die A DAY from malnutrition. Water is infinitely more valuable than gas because you need it...you know...to live.
We only focus on fuel because we essentially can get water ANYWHERE in Canada for free, right at the tap, restaurant etc. we just feel ripped off from fuel because we KNOW we're being taken to the cleaners because there's a market value for oil, we know what we SHOULD be paying, not x3 as much.
2012 - deaths of children under 5 in the Congo per year
You do realize 5,000 a day is 1.5 M per year. Its horrible either way, and drinking bottled water is really stupid, but your numbers are high.
Actually, just did a little math, and it seems the death rate of children is such that about 150,00 a year, whether malnutrition or other causes.
So the rate is 500 a day. Which is still horrible.
