Rob, the sad part is that you can get a hotel room cheaper than a leaf ticket. Most hockey fans who want to take their kid to a game go to Buffalo or Ottawa. In Toronto the prices are out of sight and every game is the same price. In Buffalo the prices are much more reasonable and their prices vary as to the quality of the opposing team, which makes it much more affordable.
Now as for Master Clarke, I will be pro active and make this reply before he does. I think I know how his mind works. My quote was:
"and their prices vary as to the quality of the opposing team, "
His reply would be: "in that case the tickets would be free when Toronto plays Buffalo"
