The reason why the prices are high? This is how I think it started:
Erev Yom Tov people rightly pay for 3 days so it costs more. Now, people are groomed to the idea of paying more Erev Yom Tov. So when it comes to Erev Yom Kippur, even though it’s paying for only one day, the Mikvahs can get away with charging the “Erev Yom Tov price” because people will not protest. Is that fair?? For sure NOT! The consumer is only receiving something the Mikvah will otherwise charge less. The fact is that in Israel they don’t charge more on Erev Yom Kippur because there the “Erev Yom Tov” price does not exist – this supports my logic and I wish someone on this forum would agree….
