Maple Leafs fans react to playoff ticket prices
The Toronto Maple Leafs are heading back to the playoffs for the eighth straight season and will look to improve on last year’s second-round exit.
Playoff tickets were made available to Leafs season ticket members earlier today and the prices had some people in shock.
Some members with access to the pre-sale posted to social media to show how the best tickets cost thousands of dollars each.
Iām definitely a die hard Leafs fan, I will forever bleed blue but Iām not an idiot LOL @MapleLeafs WTF these playoff ticket prices are wild š¤Ŗ pic.twitter.com/LLyNKa827X

Even much cheaper tickets were priced at hundreds of dollars apiece. This included those with a less-than-ideal viewing experience.
Cheapest I saw were $350 but I believe those were obstructed view

When I was on Ticketmaster, I was hoping to get two tickets, but when I saw what one ticket cost in Section 319…ahhhh…no thank you. Go LEAFS Go. pic.twitter.com/4EpGHQjOS2

Fans couldn’t get over the sky-high prices with many remarking that it would be cheaper to travel and see the team in another city.Ā The Leafs could find out their first-round opponent as soon as this weekend.
Cheaper to go watch them on the road, and that includes travel.

I tried to get tickets this morning, but of course, Ticketmaster sucks and I couldn’t get through after proving I was a human. I’ll be staying up north, cheering the team on from my couch.

This is why we donāt have the same fans at home as we do on the road. Ticket prices are ridiculous.

This should be illegal.

They know it will only last 1 round so they gotta get their money where they can lol
ā IceTime PodcastšØ (@IceTime9899) April 9, 2024
Same price as a week at a pretty nice all inclusive resort.

They cater to the Corporate world and not families. Kinda ridiculous that I cant take my kids to a game because it breaks the bank. š¤”

The regular fan has been priced out of regular season games for years so Iām not surprised about this. Iāll watch from the comfort of my couch and eat/drink for a reasonable price.
ā Sparx (@Dave_Sparx) April 9, 2024
those arent for fans, those are for corporate sponsors who can go and ignore the game
ā apathyduck (@apathyduck07) April 9, 2024
Crazy . No wonder I donāt have my seasons tickets any longer . The average fan has been priced out long ago.
ā 22vap22 (@22vap221) April 9, 2024
Not entirely sure how you’ll pack a barn with life-long, blue collar fans with prices like that. Especially during these difficult times in Canada.
Almost shameful tbh…

And this is presale from scotiabank arena. I normally see these prices from scalpers trying to make a profit reselling tickets. Iāve always heard that buying them directly from presale is cheap but I almost paid 1200 for nosebleed seats š

You decide your rent or playoff tickets

Maple Leafs playoff tickets will be made available to the general public tomorrow at 10 am ET. We will see then how many are left after season ticket members have the first pick.
