Ticket prices are so high for hockey it keeps the riff raff out for the most part. The die hard Flyers fan are very faithfull to the Flyers and management. Thick and thin. Hockey fans in general are a different breed.

Dont get me wrong, there is still a strong presence of Philadelphia boo-birds, drunks and troubel makers at all games. It's just less noticeable in the "family friendly" baseball games and high priced hockey games.
