The Toronto Maple Leafs still have five games to go in the 2023-24 regular season, but playoff tickets are already starting to sell, with bloated prices. Tickets for the front of the house are already going for over $2000 each, and prices will likely only get higher as the number available gets lower.
Not only will prices go up as fewer seats are available, they'll rise even more if the Toronto Maple Leafs can make it to further rounds. While it shows just how popular hockey is in the city, it shuts out many from ever being able to afford to see a playoff game.
Toronto has already clinched its spot in the 2024 post season. As it currently stands, the team will likely face the Florida Panthers in the first round, the team that eliminated them from the second round in 2023. The Eastern Conference has a real traffic jam for its last wild card spot, and it's making for a very interesting run down the stretch.
