I should’ve known. The all-you-can-eat tickets were a little more than a scam. Here’s how they pulled it off.

First, they funnelled everybody into a single entrance with only two people checking tickets making the line snake all the way back to almost the exhibition ghost station. This took upwards of an hour and a half to get in. It’s the second quarter and people are still waiting in line which still goes so far back. It’s on site.

Once you get in, there’s only six people serving the free food meaning the lines for the food are about 30 minutes long. You can only get two food items per visit meeting. If you basically stand in line the entire game you may get six food items

Now to the food

Peameal sandwich is a single slice of peameal and a half a slice of processed cheese on a small stale bun.

Hot dog is actually smaller than the jays loonie dogs.

Nachos are about 10 chips with a dollop of cheese and something that looks like pickled jalepenos.

Popcorn is infant sized.

Drinks? Super small.

Fuck MLSE. Fuck Rogers. I’m done.
I was going to buy Marlies seasons but after this experience, I may never attend another MLSE event ever. This is enshitification in overdrive.

Absolutely disgusting.

I know everyone is frustrated with the experiences they have with their TV, Cellphone, and Internet with Rogers. You're likely all aware that Rogers now fully owns MLSE.

Let me give you a different perspective. I've gotten no less than 3 emails in the past 10 days from "Emma Baker" who's "Premium Sales for BMO Field". She's been incessantly emailing me to discuss buying suites at BMO field. Somehow she's gotten a business email address of mine that I don't, nor have never used in the public domain. I certainly haven't used to it buy tickets in the past (I get ALL the spam at those addresses).

So, I decided I wanted to talk to her about it. I emailed her back. 3 times to be exact. She's never returned my messages. So, I wanted to call her. No number listed. But I really want a premium suite experience, so I decided to do some leg work. I found her on LinkedIn. Her experience is basically a BA in "communications and media", then did an internship at MLSE and within 2 years was an "Account Executive - Premium Sales". She doesn't reply on LinkedIn, either (It's been a week, no reply).

I even tried to call the MLSE Premium Sales office. I was hung up on. So, I called MLSE head office to get to the bottom of it. The person who answered (after a 10 minute wait) didn't know what to do. She said I should call the number on my ticket. Except, I don't have a ticket. She was lost. Then, transferred me to BMO Field's main line. Nobody picked up (not surprising). I tried back to MLSE, and this time was transferred to the group sales office. I waited on hold for just under 20 minutes where I was yet again hung up on.

Imagine if I was ready to drop $50k on a box suite. Or, hundreds of thousands (Millions?) on a full season suite. This is my experience? Do you think C-Suite executives put up with this? If this is my experience trying to spend money, and I can't, then what's going on over there?

Rogers has enshitified everything.

Between 2 households, I have 3 cellphones, 1 Internet, and 1 TV with Rogers. The phones are on excellent $40/mo plans, and from everything I can tell, all other major providers are effectively as trash as Rogers. The Internet is the only viable choice for this address so that sticks. TV has to stick because the only other option is Bell Satellite and that's $120/month (and horrible). This is the monopoly we allowed. This is the Monopoly the CRTC allowed. Some people just don't have a choice, at least not a viable one.

This is nothing more than corporate greed, unchecked. Like everything in this late-stage-capitalistic society, it's unsustainable. Sooner or later the house will collapse. I just hope we see it happen sooner rather than later.

All You Can Eat Scam. MLSE, Never Again.
