Toronto Maple Leafs fans react to 'wild' playoff ticket prices

The Toronto Maple Leafs are heading back to the playoffs for the eighth straight season and will look to improve on last year's second-round exit.

Playoff tickets were made available to Leafs season ticket members on Tuesday and the prices had some people in shock.

I’m definitely a die hard Leafs fan, I will forever bleed blue but I’m not an idiot LOL @MapleLeafs WTF these playoff ticket prices are wild 🤪 pic.twitter.com/LLyNKa827X

Some members with access to the pre-sale posted to social media to show how the best tickets cost thousands of dollars each.

The regular fan has been priced out of regular season games for years so I’m not surprised about this. I’ll watch from the comfort of my couch and eat/drink for a reasonable price.

Even much cheaper tickets were priced at hundreds of dollars apiece. This included those with a less-than-ideal viewing experience.

Cheapest I saw were $350 but I believe those were obstructed view

Fans couldn't get over the sky-high prices with many remarking that it would be cheaper to travel and see the team in another city.

And this is presale from scotiabank arena. I normally see these prices from scalpers trying to make a profit reselling tickets. I’ve always heard that buying them directly from presale is cheap but I almost paid 1200 for nosebleed seats 🙄

The Leafs could find out their first-round opponent as soon as this weekend.

When I was on Ticketmaster, I was hoping to get two tickets, but when I saw what one ticket cost in Section 319...ahhhh...no thank you. Go LEAFS Go. pic.twitter.com/4EpGHQjOS2

Maple Leafs playoff tickets will be made available to the general public on Wednesday at 10 a.m. We will see then how many are left after season ticket members have the first pick.
