Oilers season ticket holders have been asked to provide their feedback about seating options in Rogers Place.
The survey, sent out to current season pass holders on Friday, shows seats that would cost upwards of $18,000.
It is something that Ryan Batty, a nine-year season pass holder, said was too rich for him.
“I saw a couple that were $10,000 a seat for a season. Sorry, I like to eat. I can’t afford that.”
But he thinks there is a market for it.
“I think those are all driven towards corporate sales.
“I think they will be able to sell them.”
Rogers Place tweeted about the survey, saying they were simply looking for input from fans.
Pleased to confirm we are surveying and engaging our customers with proposed amenities, features and pricing concepts at @RogersPlace.

Batty said he wasn’t too disappointed in the survey and was surprised at what it might cost him to sit at the level he currently holds.
“The price they gave my survey was completely reasonable. It is almost what I pay right now. I don’t expect that will be the case when they open the new arena. I suspect it will be 15-20 per cent higher than what I was shown.”
Rogers Place is expected to open for the 2016/17 hockey season.
