Oilers fans aren't thrilled with new concession prices at Rogers Place

Inflation is about to wallop Edmonton Oilers fans when they step to the concession counter at Rogers Place.

For all those in the comments saying "so businesses aren't suppose to profit?" — be better. These are some of the concession prices in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2022. This is how billionaire owners should be treating fans. No, they don't "have" to profit off everything. pic.twitter.com/WW3vNQ5ys9

In 2019, chicken tenders and a ‘souvenir’ soda cost $21.75, and a large popcorn and 20oz beer cost $20.75, according to a Facebook post detailing concession prices on fan site All Things Oilers. A hot dog and beer was previously listed at $18.25.

The new concession prices come as the Oilers are launching another revenue stream.

Edmonton announced its own digital content subscription service this week at a monthly cost of $8.99. The subscription promises behind-the-scenes coverage including pre- and post-game shows, live feeds of interviews, and a special series.
