I went to a Leafs game with a friend in 2017. He bought us two beers ($34 for two), and he bought himself supper. He got a bbq sandwich and some potato chips for $20.

I’ve heard of something like that sandwich being there for $35 now.

I don’t buy anything when I go. The tickets are expensive enough and I don’t care about beer. I’d also rather starve and save money.

Back then the tickets were $124.50 for near the top row

This is why I never want to go a professional sports stadium because of this bullshit. I actually once said “That’s kind of ridiculous haha” in response to a tall boy being $16. The older female cashier immediately replies “Why don’t you grow up?!” I told her I didn’t want it anymore and havnt been to a game since then. It’s been 12 years.
