I couldn't recall if it was an issue of someone (Orton/Cena) saying he was reckless, or I also felt like he had Steroids blatantly mailed to his house or something too, or maybe it was both

For sure. The WWE version of Dan Bilzerian lol.
There were a bunch of them getting roids. It's been so long I can't remember if it was all the same doctor or they were just all juicing, but like over a dozen guys got suspended at once.
I can't remember about the mailing thing either. I think it was Benoit for sure that was getting roids mailed to him, but dunno if that was other guys as well.
They are going to continue starting with those prices until people stop buying tickets. There are many that would love to attend but are priced out of attending. I am one of the fortunate ones who could afford to go however the price to enjoyment ratio is askew so I’m sitting this one out.

I don't understand the comment but the answer is that they are probably similar. ....actually, f*** it, I searched before submitting the post but wrote everything else before this blurb about Leafs prices....Tickets to Friday's game are $158-285 in the upper level and $362-501 in the lower level for blue dot box office tickets. The $501 ticket was between the blue line and the lower face off circle so presumably tickets would be more expensive closer to centre ice however no box office tickets were available so I can't say for certain. At those prices I may argue that Leafs tickets are more affordable than WWE tickets to PLEs or at least specifically to Elimination Chamber in a larger venue where people are seated far away from the ring.
...edit...available EC prices for reference
500 level 201-240
200 level 329-457
100 level 329-661
floors 589-6432
blue dots, not aisle seat offer, not official platinum, simply box office wwe prices as of tonight
People in the thread have commented on the prices for EC. I stated that WWE will continue to price events in this manner until people stop paying the prices. True. I stated that many would love to attend WWE PLEs but are priced out of attending. True. I stated that I could afford to purchase tickets however the price to enjoyment ratio wasn't in alignment so I will not be attending if prices remain the same as today. True.
We're not talking about the Leafs. We are talking about professional wrestling and prices that may have been trending up but seem to have skyrocketed since their merger with the company that owns UFC. From a spectator perspective UFC events are less affordable than WWE events.
Leafs tickets that are 50% (?) purchased by corporations? 50% was my guess then I found an article whose informal poll was just shy of that figure. I couldn't find anything that gave a definitive number on the percentage of season tickets owned by corporations/businesses. This team and this city aren't the correct thing to judge prices of another sporting event off of.

I know that WM tickets were quite high, but could this one possibly just be a perfect storm of Cena's last Toronto appearance combined with the relative scarcity of PLE's in Canada? Are the tickets for other non-WM PLE's going up at a similar rate?
I've been to two PPV's, one ten years ago, and the other was WCW Starrcade 98, so my personal references are a tad dated
Survivor series tickets were like $400 when I first looked for upper deck seats. I said no to that. That may have been select presale tickets or packages but yeah No.
