[Morlesio14*]

Yeah I might go down to the Acc with my leafs jersey tomorrow after school. Hopefully I'll get lucky

 

[Kessely Snipes]

'The "diehards" are the ones who pay for tickets.'

Not everyone can pay for tickets.

You've clearly misunderstood something I've posted.

 

[egd27]

Wow MLSE we might actually get real fans into the building

People that lay out thousands of dollars for seasons tickets are real fans.

I would guess that your odds of "getting lucky" tomorrow are greater than your odds of getting your hands on some tickets for the home opener.

 

[Mystifo]

If I could secure a ticket I would be on the next flight out of St.John's

Is this implying that there are only 1,000 tickets available per game, meaning that the place is over 90% season ticket holders?

Close. There are 16,000 season ticket holders. Including standing room, there are around 19,500 available seats.

For everything but the home opener, 2000 tickets are usually available on Ticketmaster during the presale and onsale. 500 get dropped later in the 7 days before the game.

The home opener typically has under 1,000 tickets available to the public.

That doesn't sound right.

Is this all over GTA?

 

[Patty Lee]

that sucks for you but really it doesnt matter since people will still charge the same prices..the way i see it is that the crowd will be much much more lively then in past games...1000+ real fans will make a big difference..looking forward to watching on tv

how does them giving 1000 tickets away in stead of selling those 1000 tickets change the "realness" of the fan?

 

[Patty Lee]

Why did I chose to go to university in Halifax. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

for the beauty of the city and awesome East coast people I would assume

 

[Patty Lee]

Sure you can. But a lot of people can't afford to throw 100-300 down for a game. What about the fans that live in P.E.I. or down in Windsor, Ontario? It's a little more time consuming and costly for them to go to games. You shouldn't judge the diehard leaf fans by how many games they go to. Instead, how much they follow them and for how long of their lives they have been following them. Just my opinion at least.

good advice.

you should follow it too and stop judging the season ticket holders

"The team will also giveaway 1,000 tickets through a variety of promotions leading up to the home opener, in addition to the more than 15,000 season seat holders receiving their tickets free of charge."

He means REAL fans that make noise and don't sit on their hands during the game. The fans that pack bars every game to watch a game. The ACC WILL BE LOUD on Monday, cause real fans will be in there.

I'm wondering where their going to be giving out the tickets? Maybe by real sports, dundas sq, cn tower and ???


ps anyone know if their going to be showing the Habs vs Leafs game on the big screen outside the ACC?

I just realized, with the season going to late April, if the Leafs are playing meaningful games then, that place will be awesome. It's just screaming for "playoff viewing" - with this team this might be the closest we get for a couple years.

Maybe Eaton's Centre. Just a guess.

 

[Brewsky]

**** why do I have to be out of the freakin' country!

 

[Rob Brown]

I should have brought my jersey to wear after work in Union Station. I doubt they'll be venturing too far away from the ACC anyway. Maybe as far north as the Eaton's Centre.

 

[Kardi]

Nothing by Eaton center/dundas sq yet.. I'll keep everyone posted where I find them

Wow, that'd be awesome. If it's after work I'll hop in my car and even drive the 1 hour it'll take me to get into the city for a shot at getting Leafs tix. Please, no pranks
