Yup, let the double-standards begin.

It just shows that even the Leafs are not immune to a backlash to being gouged. Mind you I wonder if part of the problem here is people assume it will be sold out and won't even try. Even the heritage classic in Winnipeg had this issue.

The World Juniors on the other hand is just atrocious. For tomorrow's game vs. Latvia with Lots of tickets left, the start at 84.00 plus fees. No way would I even consider it...and it's worse in Montreal....yet crickets from the media.

I'm still looking out for a Pizza Pizza promo for either of these events lol...
