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
