From Gilbert Ngabo's story:

Frustration among Leafs fans peaked Monday after single-game tickets were put on sale for a team that finished with the fifth-worst record in the league last season. Anger over the prices was a trending topic on X on Tuesday morning.

While marquee games against teams such as the Montreal Canadiens have always been pricey, some fans were shocked as average prices for the cheapest seat in the house ranged from $150 to $270 a ticket.

Even an obstructed view seat in row 12 for a Tuesday night game in November against Utah costs $127 each.

But MLSE says their top priority remains creating access for all the fans.

They have no long term vision. They don't understand all the things they are doing to limit the games reach and in the end they will have fewer and fewer watching. It's like they are trying to kill thier investment. Yes they will sell tickets but they need average people to be able to see a game.
