This city is weird when it comes to the Playoffs. I even see it with the Raptors Playoff home games. Any team that isn't the Leafs.
If the Jays make it deep into the Postseason and to the World Series, more casuals will definitely care and want to go to a game. Was the same with the Raptors when the made the NBA Finals. I remember Round 1, 2 and 3, it was cheaper to purchase tickets off StubHub/Ticketmaster before the game. Only for Game 6 in the Eastern Conference Finals and the NBA Finals, tickets were crazy expensive because there was more demand. I had my phone ringing asking me for tickets. But for Round 1, 2 and the beginning of R3, was lucky to just break even on the tickets I needed to sell.
I couldn't even get face value for Game 7 in R2 against the 76ers, so decided to go down to the game last minute with my dad. Glad we did since it was probably the best and most memorable game in Raptors history!
