The ticket prices are slightly cheaper for the games against lower tier countries, meaning even some ordinary Joes can attend.

Ironically, Liitto killing the atmosphere in those games where Finland has the direst need for the "sixth skater".

Yeah I noticed that when I looked at the prices for the games. The prices were way too high for me to go anyway, but 150 euros instead of 176/200 I guess is a bit better if people want to see at least one game.

IMO it's not quite as bad as it was 10 years ago, when things probably got out of hand due to the long-awaited gold the year before. But yeah, maybe still a bit too steep, at least in regards to those who might bring the loudest noise... but at least we have spectators in the stands at every game.

And if there's a silver lining, it's that almost all of the profits go towards improving Finnish hockey at the grassroots level. It's not like it's being used on expensive liquor and fancy penthouse saunas.
