MLSE adapts to changing rules in province

Some bad news for ticket holders.

Yesterday, the province of Ontario announced that large sporting events would have their viewer capacity reduced by 50 percent. That applies to the Raptors. MLSE responded by saying that it “remains fully supportive of the province’s decision, and [it] continues to work closely with our government and public health partners to protect against the spread of COVID-19 within our community.” Mask-wearing protocol within the building seem like they are to be strengthened.

Today, MLSE announced how its ticketing process would change. Season Seat Members, who make up “a significant majority” of the venue capacity, will be prioritized. All “non-Season Seat tickets will be refunded, and tickets will be allocated among Season Seat Members for upcoming games based on the new capacity limits.”

The process will begin immediately.
