@SN_Trizzy see back to 7-8 months ago where he was an absolute beast in the playoffs. we know he has it in him. hopefully things turn around and he gets his groove back soon

@gmoult Have you read Assassination Vacation? I hope so! If not, I highly recommend it.

@CityNewsTO @NoLore what a mess!

[Friends of Fernandez @FriendsOfTonyF]

@CityNewsTO Thank you for clarifying (with an editor's note dated April 20th?!), but why would CityNews TORONTO post this Associated Press article in the first place? It was very confusing.

@NickGiammusso yikes, i got "lucky" and bought them face value at the public onsale. no profit to be made unless you got the season ticket prices.

[Friends of Fernandez @FriendsOfTonyF]

@AdamBojak agree, but who builds it?

[Friends of Fernandez @FriendsOfTonyF]

@NickVeronica these games are happening in 2026!

[Friends of Fernandez @FriendsOfTonyF]

@NickGiammusso agreed. great points, Nick!

[Friends of Fernandez @FriendsOfTonyF]

@ScottFriedman3 @johnnydrama80 @Raptors @SeatGeek i fundamentally agree that there should be no restrictions on ticket sales! i just think comparing the Cleveland market to the Toronto market doesn't illustrate that point for a number of reasons

[Friends of Fernandez @FriendsOfTonyF]

@johnnydrama80 @ScottFriedman3 @Raptors @SeatGeek Cleveland has literally been crushed by free-market capitalism for 100 years to the point that their NBA playoff tickets have to be cheaper than Toronto's minor-league hockey tickets since no one can afford them. it isn't the greatest example of the benefits of a "free-market"

[Friends of Fernandez @FriendsOfTonyF]

@AdamBojak awesome spot. joey runs a great little airbnb above it too! i always try to stay there whenever i'm in town (although it's usually booked up these days)

@NickGiammusso @ScottFriedman3 @BlueJays @Raptors @MapleLeafs @Ticketmaster @fordnation This law was enacted in Ontario by Premier Doug Ford, a conservative, populist-Trumper, who did it because his constituents were mad about the cost of Jays playoff tickets. Btw, Ontario already has rent control and he's been slowing trying to erode those protections.

[Friends of Fernandez @FriendsOfTonyF]

@NickGiammusso @BuffaloSabres there are also handfuls of tickets being released regularly on TM, mostly 100 level. more expensive than the uppers by a bit, but considerably better seats.

[Friends of Fernandez @FriendsOfTonyF]

@JDale_Shoemaker people, for the most part, are fine subsidizing a billionaire despite no guarantee of a championship. but paying a yearly fee to be part of a world-famous list that could help generate revenue for local restaurants...that's where they draw the line.

I am no longer employed by CityNews. I am proud of my journalism at CityNews and I stand by my reporting. I will have more to say on this later but for now please stay tuned and thank you for those who have supported me.

@GallagherMW @MikeMatson67 here's the original Randy Newman-esque version from the early 80s.

@g_meslin hmmm, this story got pulled. why?

[Friends of Fernandez @FriendsOfTonyF]

@ScottFriedman3 @BlueJays @Raptors @MapleLeafs he cancelled legislation that capped resale prices at 50% above face back in 2019 and said it was "unenforceable". what's changed?

[Friends of Fernandez @FriendsOfTonyF]

@chunky7453 need more info

[Friends of Fernandez @FriendsOfTonyF]

@Steven_Hyden Yo La Tengo and The Flaming Lips both had pretty good albums that year too.
