It doesn't look like the playoff run has had quite the effect on attendance that I thought it might originally. I read a couple months ago that there was some serious cooling of ticket interest for this upcoming season when the frustration over Rogers plan to stick to a budget became mainstream knowledge.
First series is virtually a sellout, but then you get past that and it looks a lot like early last season and every year before that. Under 20k sold for the first game against the Yankees. Obviously more will be sold as the series approaches, but they were talking 35k+ per game, like some of the bigger markets down south, this year, originally.
I'm sure it will be slightly better than prior years eventually, but certainly there's been talk of a cooling off this off season, not that Sportsnet would report on it, obviously.
