holy **** how!

 

[Leafs For Life*]

DIBS. I want. These. So bad. Free Leafs game. PLEASE?

 

[headwire]

Is this implying that there are only 1,000 tickets available per game, meaning that the place is over 90% season ticket holders?

 

[FireEverybody*]

But will the hotdogs be discounted ?

Seriously pretty awesome they are actually doing something for us.

[Rob Brown]

Ugh, I hope I catch someone downtown tonight, tomorrow or Monday either to or from work. Please!

 

[Warden of the North]

That's one GO bus away or a 30-40 minute drive.

 

[Rob Brown]

That's one GO bus away or a 30-40 minute drive.

Not like he'd know where they'd be anyway. Are they just handing them out at random spots around the city or are there certain locations?

 

[aselvana]

probably gotta line up tmr at the gates...

 

[Mansfield]

very nice. gonna be next to impossible to get tix though

 

[The Magic Man]

That's fantastic on MLSE's part. I didn't think they would do anything, but this is surprising. I'm glad they will also be discounting the season ticket holders, who are the backbone of the team.

Very gracious of them.

 

[ACC1224]

I wonder if they have a way to make sure they aren't re-sold.

 

[Kamal007]

How or where would I go to get these god damn tickets?????

 

[FireEverybody*]

Wow.

People were ripping MLSE saying they werent going to do anything.

No one who follows the Leafs expected them to do anything remotely close to this.

 

[Hockeylaw]

I want to go to there!
