Toronto FC Season Seat Holders will get free access to the Academy Senior Team's Canadian Soccer League Playoff tie against Serbian White Eagles at Centennial Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The match was originally scheduled to be played at Lamport Stadium but has now been moved to the Etobicoke venue. Kick off is at 3:30 p.m.

If you are a Season Seat Holder you will need to show your membership card to get into the stadium. The Academy team needs to overturn a one goal deficit after losing the first leg of the quarter final tie 1-0 last weekend.

yep, stadium staffing, refs, etc aren't free.

I think this is a good thing - which was why I suggested adding an academy tie in to our SS packs for next season.

If they gave away some games, they might find that if people go once for free... they might be more inclined to go later at a cost (and the cost is diret cheep)

Oh I know that.

Their attendance is like ZERO so like you said if you give it for free then maybe they'll pay later.

Too bad they moved the match to Centennial, I was for sure going to go when it was at Lamport, now maybe, maybe not. Great idea making it free season ticket holders - might have been a good idea to have done that for a couple of matches.

I am going to try and make it out for sure now, have been to two TFC-A this season after going to four last year, it is a good time and good to support the young Reds and even more now that Danny is involved.

I'm not a SSH (in someone else's name). How much are tickets otherwise? If someone can bring extra passes for my myself and my son, I am as good as there - supporting SWE :D
