Just like at any other sporting event, in-venue food is going to be expensive. However, almost all the venues have somewhere nearby that is reasonably priced. In Los Angeles, there is the Mercado la Paloma a couple of blocks away, or the dozens of more traditional fast food places located along Figueroa. In Manchester there are plenty of places within a couple of plocs of the arena. At UCF, we found a place nearby called Lazy Moon pizza which sells a 36" pizza (yes, that's three feet across, and easily feeds 8 people) for $20.

In any case, one or two people can pick up food for everyone, you can eat just outside the arena, and you can avoid paying the high prices.
