The Maple Leafs are raising the cost of seasons tickets $7 to $16 per game next season, and this is, according to Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment CCO David Hopkinson, good for the fans.
“If we don’t price the tickets appropriately versus what the market is going to pay for them, guess what happens,” Hopkinson says. “The tickets don’t get cheaper. Just other guys make the money . . . and that doesn’t help your hockey team. That doesn’t help us get better.”
While the Leafs acknowledge that most single-game seats are bought and sold on the secondary market, they note that the biggest markups occur on the least expensive seats.
