And they could. 3) yeah, I'm sure you've made some whining post about it when Dalton/Harper made a law banning it. 4) see 2) above and think of the maximization of the supply/demand curve, maximum price charged per person willing to pay such premium amounts.

1)Toronto overcharges for everything including leaf games, concerts, parking, rent, restaurant food. You name it.

2)Obviously they wont get away with it for long. There arent enough corporate sponsors for 55000 seats.

3) Actually most of the laws that affect a tailgate party are municipal with exception being the provincial drinking laws. These were in place long before dullton and miller but i dont expect these nanny state clowns to liberalize these laws anytime soon. PS: Harper has nothing to do with it, he's federal.

4) In this case, the price will have to come down and the product will have to improve. People arent willing to pay these prices as has already been illustrated.

Lastly, there is a reason a lot of people go to buffalo, detroit, columbus etc to see a leaf game. Because even with gas and hotel its still cheaper than tickets to a toronto game. This is why i suggest that real Bills fans from toronto would want to keep the bills in Buffalo. If toronto wants NFL we should have our own team so that we dont wreck another team's tradition and history.
