Can't say i feel sorry for them. I"m surprised the government doesn't do more to prevent scalping.

Without warning, MLSE last month sent out a new kind of renewal notice to some Leafs and Raptors season ticket holders, alerting them they've been identified as "commercial resellers." To renew seats for the 2018-19 season, MLSE said they'd have to pay a 30 per cent markup over regular customers.
In one example, regular fans are charged $21,556 for a pair of gold seats for 42 home games, and resellers are charged $28,454 for similar seats.

and I think what the Jets is doing is great. Unfortunately doesn't look like the Flames will have any of these problems any time soon.

The Jets even have a policy of requiring season ticket holders to pay a security deposit and sign a contract prohibiting commercial resales.
Tulloch, the podcaster, says Toronto needs to take a page from the Jets.
"If they can identify who the scalpers are and who's not actually using the tickets to the games, who's just reselling them every single time, I'd like to see them taken off the season ticket holder list. That'll be a good start, really," Tulloch said.
