I just sold 4 tickets in section 129 for triple their face value for Sept 20 vs Boston. The profit I made on those 4 tickets is going to pay for my Saturday 100 level seats, plus my hotel, plus the day tomorrow at African Lion Safari for my entire family.
And if you look at whats already been sold for game 1 of the ALDS, the cheapest tickets sold on Stubhub were for $160 each USD and they were 500 level. That is more than $210 CDN a ticket, and the face value on the ticket is only $50. Remember I'm talking about tickets that have already been sold, and that was the cheapest pair sold on stubhub so far for that game. The better seats have sold for far more than that.
People are willing to pay $500 for platinum tickets to watch the s***** last place Leafs in this town. They'll spend that much to be part of a Jays playoff run. I'm figuring I can get double the value for my tickets, if not triple.
Ultimately its going to be pricey for those not able to buy them direct. The Governator is right - sitting at home is a good option too. If I wasn't fortunate to be able to get 2 tickets due to having a voucher pack, I'd probably be watching from home come October too.
