I was at the game too and needed a cab out of there. I saw uber was x7.5 so I walked a mile or so and found a cab. Free market
Yea we just found a cab home after taking train to midtown. Even that still ended up being 3x the price we paid to uber to midtown a couple times before.

The one point no one has brought up yet is the total cost of ownership UberX vs Taxi. Let's say 8 times you UberX it's cheaper than a cab, then twice it's 8x the fare. However, when you compare the cost of all taxis vs the cost of all Uber's, it's constant with Uber winning the battle of convenience. This argument to me lends itself a better viewpoint than simply being complacent with any surge price regardless.
