The Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors will prioritize season-ticket holders as they reduce capacity to comply with the Ontario government's new restrictions, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment announced Thursday.

All non-season tickets for games through mid-January will be refunded, and people will be notified of refund details in the coming days. People with Raptors season seats will be informed of ticket allocation details Thursday, while those with Leafs season seats will find out by Tuesday.

Each team's season-ticket holders will be divided into two groups and will receive tickets for alternating games, starting with the Raptors' matchup against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.

The Maple Leafs' next home game is Thursday against the St. Louis Blues.

MLSE said that ticket allocation for season seats will be determined randomly and that members will be contacted again in January with allocation details for upcoming games based on public health restrictions.

The move comes one day after the province announced that sports venues with capacity for 1,000 or more people would be limited to 50% capacity starting Saturday due to rising COVID-19 cases.
