This was, from the outset, always a solution in search of a problem. Yes, Jays tickets were extraordinarily expensive on resale sites during the World Series, but that’s because they were a high-demand, low-supply item. That people were willing to pay four figures to sit in the 500 level at the Rogers Centre for Game 7 was not an indication that they were getting ripped off, it was the free market in action. Lamentations from politicians that families were having to choose between groceries and playoff baseball were even more bizarre: anyone on a tight budget should not be in the market for a ticket to a once-in-three-decades Toronto baseball event. It’s like complaining that first-class airline tickets aren’t affordable for “the people.” No, they are a luxury item. That’s the whole point!
