Like Michallica said, they will be getting rid of the boxes so that's good
The arena was build with capacity of 18,500. It was Melnyk who applied to raise the capacity.

It's the same, lol.

Parking is also now $16.00... almost the price of the cheapest ticket.  They are just killing themselves to be honest.
Ramp's not there yet, pretty sure.
I thought it was.

OH, well I was there before the 15th I think.

Maybe it just takes time.

Trying to incent people to carpool, walk or use public transit.

Park at the park and ride and take a bus -- saves $10 over the price of parking, plus no gas wasted.

Melnyk 100% added seats.  It's wasn't built at 20,500.
Right now it is 19,153.

Pretty normal seating, and the ACC actually has that many for Raptors.

You take out the boxes and we'll be back at 18,800 or something.
They also added standing room which counts in the total capacity being over 20K.

As for parking, wow $16 is a friggin' joke.  good thing I just park in the palladium auto parc.  5-10 mins walking is worth paying $0.
I haven't paid for parking in almost a decade lol

Back then it was only 18,500.
They weren't selling out, some of them were free tickets(comps). No one actually paid money for them.

They stopped giving out free tickets and raised prices a bit.

BAM no more sellout.
