Montreal Canadiens to charge fans for physical season tickets next season
Montreal Canadiens fans who cherish the annual arrival of their season tickets got an unwelcome surprise when the team announced recently it would be charging extra for printed tickets.
Canadiens spokesman Francois Marchand confirmed that the default option will be mobile tickets and fans who want physical tickets will be charged $150 plus tax per seat.
A letter to season ticket-holders cited security, ease of use and environmental sustainability as reasons for the change.
Marchand said that no senior front-office staff were available to comment on the decision because of summer vacations.
