Just a few months ago, the Leafs jacked up its playoff ticket prices by almost 75 per cent compared to the one’s sold in the regular season.
The Leafs already have the most expensive tickets in the NHL, according to a February report from the U.S.-based Team Marketing Report which lists the average Leafs ticket at $124.69, compared to the Phoenix Coyotes who charge an average ticket price of $40.32.
The Toronto Raptors and the Blue Jays already have a similar policy in place when they play against top-tier teams.
