| AFAIK, it's not anyone's fault other than the IIHF's for setting the ticket prices. I expect they'll be a similar price next year and probably were last year. | |

I think the overall prices depend on the country. The Swiss League (LNA) games are also about 100 CHF for a seat (at least in Bern they are). But the IIHF also recognizes the prices are too high here:

| Officials from both the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), the sport's governing body, and the organising committee admit that Switzerland's high prices make hockey an expensive proposition. Latvian fans came to the same conclusion.
"The dealers are asking up to SFr100 ($89) for a place in the standing room," Janis Barkan, the head of the Latvian fan club, told swissinfo.ch. "It's much too expensive. Some of my fellow citizens simply cannot afford it." | |
