Courtside Tickets as a Gift in Toronto: How to Do It Right

A night courtside or on the glass is the kind of gift people talk about for years. Here's how to give one without spoiling the surprise or getting stuck with the wrong seats.

Pick the right night

  • Their team, a big opponent: a rival or a star visiting makes the night feel bigger.
  • A weekend or a night off: check their calendar quietly, or pick a date close to the occasion.
  • Two seats together: most gifts are for two. Tell us "must be together" and we only offer seats side by side.

Keep it a surprise

When you send a request, tick "This is a gift". Once it's paid, we make a printable gift certificate that reveals the night: who it's for, the game or show, and a message from you. See gift a courtside night.

How the tickets get to them

Tickets are transferred through the official team or venue app. You can have them sent to you and forward them later, or tell us the recipient's details closer to the date. Some events limit transfers; we tell you before you pay if that applies.

Budget and price

Prices depend on the opponent, the night and the exact seats. You get one all-in price per ticket in writing before paying, and it's never above the tickets' original price, as Ontario law requires. Paying is by Interac e-Transfer or cash in Toronto, only after you accept.

Start here

Pick a game from the Raptors or Maple Leafs schedule, or see what's on this week.

Price promise

Every price we give you is at least 20% below Ticketmaster's resale price for the same section, row and number of tickets, checked when we quote. If we can't beat it, we tell you and you pay nothing. How it works
