Comment arrangeriez-vous le public local ?

drop ticket prices, control sales to 3rd party vendors.
Give tickets to the fans and not the suits trying to impress their clients / business partners
Also lower the fucking prices, why are we paying $1000 to watch the god damn leafs?
If a season ticket isn’t filled at game time it should go on sale at the gate deeply discounted. It breaks my heart seeing so many empty seats in a playoff game.
Resell all tickets at a flat $200, and not allow anyone to sell their ticket.
First come first serve lottery.
maybe if they had a team to cheer for that isn’t constantly letting them down
People are giving a lot of excuses but I’m convinced this is just Leafs fans. Look at how this subreddit is any time the Leafs go down or lose.
These fans are not built for being proactive, as Bowen puts it.
I don’t think there’s any “fixing” the home crowd.
With ticket prices being so high this is what you get. Most people just can’t afford to go that aren’t rich. Also we’re used to being let down so a lot of it is due to that fear. 1 series win in 20 years isn’t exactly a reason to cheer.
What’s disappointing is our best players not being the best players again. Between marner, Mathews, Tavares they have 2 goals, 3 assists. That’s not good enough, marner didn’t have a shot even tonight.
Win some games.
It’s hard to be good in the crowd when you spend multiple days pay to watch an eleven million dollar winger who clearly does not care. The cooperate culture in the acc is a problem, but it’s not the issue right now. Check out games from the Washington series a few years ago, before we learned. Place was jumping.
Stop disappointing us
Honestly I was there and crowd started hot but there’s only so much awful officiating and soul destroying power plays that any crowd can take. They rallied in the last ten minutes but damage was done
Winning at home usually helps
i’d have a better product on the ice.
Any answer other than “affordable tickets” is wrong. Fans are willing to make noise and do so in other arenas. Lower bowl is joyless suits.
Leafs have had a rather dreadful home playoff record with the current core over the last half dozen years or so. I think there’s a certain predisposition to thinking “oh, here we go again” whenever the Leafs fall behind.
I know it’ll never happen unfortunately but significantly dropping the price of tickets so every day people can go watch, enjoy and cheer loudly for their team.
We need to have Baltic style fans. The type that cause structural damage to stands
Ok hear me out.
1. Find the loudest hockey parents from across the GTA. You know the ones that yell at the 15-yo Ref during a house league novice game? Them.
2. Get a hypnotist to convince them their kid plays for the Leafs.
3. Crowdfund some tickets and get these people close to the Bruins bench.
4. Profit.
I was at work with no access to the game. What was the problem? Just lack of noise? Were there sarcastic fans?
First come first serve ticket sales
Scolding paying customers for not carrying on a certain way and being disappointed for the multimillion players who have one round victory in decades is a fascinating take.
If I were the President of the Leafs, I would make a rule that players are not allowed to complain about the media in Toronto and certainly not the fans.
Will never happen. MLSE exists to make money, period.
Seeing as MLSE will never get rid of corporate tickets, I’d say make a fan zone similar to that you see in European football. Cheaper seats, maybe behind one of the nets, in exchange for the expectation that all of the energy in the building starts from that one area
Yeah I’m sorry TO but after going to a Canucks game this year in Vancouver. the atmosphere at their games is way more positive and fun than in TO
STOP BLAMING THE FANS FOR FAILURES OF THE TEAM ! Maybe, just maybe if they won something in the last quarter century, this wouldn’t be an issue. Just another excuse in a long line of excuses. You’re better than this Joe.
You want them to get excited watching leafs go 0-5 on pp. get jobbed on missed calls still. In the back of their heads they know the leafs will never pull through. They’ve never given us a real reason to believe. I get his point but frankly this group doesn’t deserve excitement. Are you telling me they need excited fans to execute good hockey ? Stop being pansies and play to your potential. Stop blaming everything else
It can’t be fixed when the NHL and MLSE only care about profits. Everything is marked up, ads everywhere, and the league and the team does not listen to its fans.
Bring in real fans not the business suits who buy tickets to impress clients that don’t even know what hockey is and drop the prices of tickets under $100
That’s what happens when you price out more than half the fanbase
They need to eliminate 50% of season tickets. Make a quarter of the seats available to purchase a month earlier and the remaining to be made available a week prior. Crack down on scalping by doing what the golden knights do which b is repurchase tickets from season ticket holders who can’t go to games. If they break the rule and resell them online then they lose their privilege to be a season ticket holder.
Also FUCK season ticket holders from being able to scoop up all of the playoff tickets. They should be granted 1 game and then the rest are sold on the open market to a verified fan group at the start of the series. A verified fan group would eliminate bots
No tickets for suits.
Score more goals
Absolutely nothing we’re cursed to repeat this cycle forever because of money hungry ownership
Win some fucking playoff games.
The organization can actually help this. The Rangers have the crowd in unison do a chant and a fist pump that is really electric. The organization could totally make something similar to fire up the crowd.
Have a playoff winning team.
Sell tickets to fans, not suits?
« Why would we do that though, we don’t have a valuable franchise because our arena is loud. »
As you may already notice, from management’s perspective, there is nothing to « fix »
Last year, I was standing and cheering in game one against the panthers and the guy behind me told me to sit down so he could see…
Get rid of suits 🤷🏾♂️
Maybe the team should hold a lead for more than 60 sec. Give the crowd something to be excited about
