I just find them annoying when they are in every match I see. I don't like seeing everyone work the same in any style.

I prefer strong style over everything (which is why Ishii, Goto, and Suzuki are my favorites from the current crop of NJPW) so I don't get tired of them.
What bothers me is them doing the "19 count" spot way too often.

Yeah, I think I covered that first bit. I just think it's pretty poor psychology sometimes. There are times when it makes sense to me and I enjoy it, but other times it is about as dumb as North American wrestling can get.
I get the 19 count spot though. That's started cropping up elsewhere too. For some reason, I associate Ambrose with the labored 9 count spot. Felt like he was doing that every match for a while.

Ticket prices too high or a reflection on the current product?

I would guess that it's a compounding problem. The product is crappy, so less people go, so they jack up prices, so less people go.

I think most people just ban themselves.
