C’est pourquoi le bâtiment n’est pas un endroit difficile à jouer
Près de 2k pour une paire de tickets dans la zone des buts 15 rangées plus haut… pour un match du premier tour. C’est nul. Les seuls fans qui peuvent se permettre ces billets sont ceux qui ne font pas de bruit…
There was some for $400 earlier edit- In the nosebleeds

If the tickets were cheaper and more accessible, wouldn’t there be a lot of casual fans who don’t really care about the team?
I would’ve thought expensive tickets mean you go only if you’re a true diehard fan and make the most out of your experience and cheer like crazy.

I thought it was the shit team construction and disappearing in the playoffs. If only we had cheaper tickets, all of that would be solved!

Back in Roman times, rich people and poor watched poor athletes compete. Then it turned into some rich people and less so watching rich athletes compete in modern times.
Now you have to be rich to watch rich people compete. ( cries in his Puppers).

yup. exactly this. Fuck this system. European soccer controls it so the stadium is full of real fans because they know it contributes to a winning culture. fuck MLSE for what they’re doing to the team and the city.

Imagine paying thousands to watch your team lose

Hah! And these are the ones that are available. 85% of these lower bowl seats are owned by B2B packages(Business to business) – corps, law firms, hedge funds, etc. buy tickets together and split them for networking, meetings, entertaining business partners.
I’ve had the fortune of sitting in lower bowl a few times with my dad and these guys in suits show up in the 2nd period, yap the whole time, pay little attention to the game.

Y’all act like playoff tickets in Boston and New York are cheap lmao

Jesus Christ, it’s not the fans.

I’ll be lower bowl tomorrow and I’ll make sure it’s better GLG 🍁

I got face value tickets for the game, upper bowl, row 16, for $288 per. It’s a lot, no doubt, but it’s not out of line with what pro sports costs. NFL tickets and many NBA games are more than that
Frogpuppet
$400 for nosebleeds is a lot

Also, ticketmaster having a monopoly on ticket market is a factor in high ticket prices

Hockey is a business.
What business would charge less when they still sellout at these prices?
I don’t blame the company at all.

This will stop when my FIL’s generation is gone.
The people so desperate to relive their childhood and spend hundreds of dollars on a hockey ticket.
A corrupt league, a jaded fanbase, and a broken team…what could go wrong.
KnuckedLoose
If there’s a second Toronto team with a bit of competition and MLSE doesn’t have a monopoly, things could change.
Until then, « Get fucked regular fan ».

Fuck I’m old! I remember my dad’s regular tickets at the Gardens, we had 5th row reds in the visitors corner….$24.
How do regular Joes with regular jobs even get to these games these days?
I’ve been a fan since the Sittler Salming days and I’m WAY WAY priced out.

These are direct from the Leafs not secondary?
Ffs.
Im a corporate guy myself but J hate corporate guys as fans. They should be rowdy as fuck even if they’re corporate
Ok_Device1274
I dont mean to sound rude but i once had front row seats and man the players literally never looked at the crowd. They completely tune them out. I dont know whats with this whole new stance about the fans

Just read that young fans in England can buy ticket to the FA Cup final between ManCity and ManUtd – two of the biggest soccer clubs on the planet – for £40 from which the club subsided £30 for under 16 fans. Fuck Ticketmasters and this system that pricing out fans
Summonabatch
We absolutely suck, so it’s not a fair comparison, but here are capitals tickets if I wanted to be in the 100s for Sunday’s game.
As someone who grew up watching soccer and following that culture, no fan should be priced out of watching their City’s team play. Sports is meant to bring all communities together, bring the City together. It’s not supposed to be a rich kids only club. I don’t care if Oilers prices are even higher, doesn’t make a difference. What’s wrong is wrong.

For me, the prices don’t bother me. The only thing that stops me from buying a ticket is the alternative ways I could spend that money. For now I settle for watching at home.
