Or maybe no-one really cares and the "issue" disappears after the game is over?

I don't think anyone will really care. It's not like Toronto leaped at the chance to pay for comically overpriced preseason NFL tickets even though it was presented to some extent as a test run for a possible NFL franchise. So I'm not sure why anyone expected a different result here, especially since there is no potential NFL team angle to be used to cajole us into buying tickets.
With the absurd prices they're charging, it's actually a small miracle that they've managed to sell 15,000 or so tickets as it is.
