seat relocation event -- all news and reports

[Parkdale]

just passing along the word from my ticket rep:

The seat relocation dates have 100% been moved back from next week.
There will be an official email going to season seat holders very soon.

If TFC makes the playoffs (fingers crossed) they'll be too busy with that
to do the seat relocation dates. So yeah.... there you have it.

[Carts]

Thanks for the update Parkie... Its appreciated...

I was wondering where my appointment e-mail was (and worrying)...

Good to get an official word...

Carts...

[Hitcho]

Interesting that they clearly didn't plan on making the play offs when the dates were originally set then... :D

[Don Julio]

Or they are delaying in order to make North Stand seats available..

[Hitcho]

^ Nah, we'd have heard something about that. You can't make it a SG stand and not tell the SG's about it first, and I think that's seriously being considered. Plus I think they'll need city approval first since the stadium is half owned by them, and that means there will be a vote somewhere to approve it first, no? Just a hunch though.

[sulfur]

With the grass this year, I'd bet that we won't see the north stands coming at the same time.

[shawn6597]

did he say what the renewal rate was for this year?

[Parkdale]

did he say what the renewal rate was for this year?

he didn't. I didn't ask.

[shawn6597]

he didn't. I didn't ask.


fair enough. I'd assume 95+

[FluSH]

This is what we need!!!!

I would be willing to bet, if Toronto make the playoffs, they will put that temporary North Stand up for single ticket sales.

As for a SG stand...
I think this is still a possibility, once they make a decision on a permanent North Stand, in a year perhaps.

[Antifa Bhoy]

fair enough. I'd assume 95+

it was lower.

and the northstand can't come until the beer garden contract is up.

[flatpicker]

^ we have already seen the North Stand for 2 games this season!

I guarantee we will see it again for a playoff game!

[mlsintoronto]

Interesting that they clearly didn't plan on making the play offs when the dates were originally set then... :D

its a combination of us not properly planning for all the work required to sell out a game if we clinch on a sunday and have to play on the following Saturday...

plus

All the Lamport field bookings move down to BMO while Lamport goes under construction...oops kinda didnt plan for that.

Indeed. Those bogus playoff games with less than 10k attendence because teams up to now can't turn it around ends here! This far, and no farther!

Work? Anyone with season tickets that doesn't take the play off game and agree to have their account debited accordingly gets shot. The rest sell at the box office but only to people who have at least one piece of TFC merch from season one AND can sing at least two chants.

Job's a good 'un...

I thought we were already charged for the playoff game when we renewed our seasons tickets!

[Eastend]

^^I wasn't charged for the playoffs when I renewed online. I will be charged automatically when we do make the playoffs.

On a side note......as a parent it will suck big time if the game is on Halloween. Yes, I will be there but it will cost me BIG TIME. (No comments required from non parents and single people on this....just an observation.)

Yep....I hear you on that one.

[FluSH]

So when are the season seats relocations for the NEW NORTH?

[Eastend]

2010

[Wagner]

aren't the legs of the 1st round.

Thurs Oct 29
and
Sunday Nov 1??

[SuperTCP]

fair enough. I'd assume 95+


I heard it was 93% this year, leaving 7% for those of us on the waiting list. Can't wait!

[Eastend]

aren't the legs of the 1st round.

Thurs Oct 29
and
Sunday Nov 1??

I would love it to be....I read the playoffs start on Oct 29 but haven't seen any actual dates for the first round...where did you get these from?

[Wagner]

Pretty Sure Denime posted these somewhere...

[Eastend]

OK, thanks. fingers crossed.

[sulfur]

PB also noted that they'd be selling tickets for a Saturday match at home.

[werewolf]

Just wait until they move it back another week after we win the first round and have to host the Conference final.

:D

[Parkdale]

from the official email:



4. Relocation Event:
Since there is a considerable amount of work to do in a very small amount of time we will be postponing the relocation event to the second week of November (Nov 9-12). Specific details on this event will be sent to you in the coming weeks.
It may seem that we are getting ahead of ourselves (i.e. counting the chickens…) but we want to ensure that this process goes as smoothly as possible should we qualify for the playoffs this weekend!

[trane]

How do I relocate my seat to Curva Sud at San Siro?

[Redpunkfiddle]

How do I relocate my seat to Curva Sud at San Siro?

Never heard of it. But have a nice trip.

[Joe Kool]

Anyone hear anything about when they are going to send us our appointments for the relocation? I figure the TFC office are working on that now. More and more of my possible time off with work during the dates announced is getting booked up as days go on so I am anxious to get a date/time so I can schedule around it.

[Klinsmann]

I still haven't received anything about an appointment time.
Has anyone yet?

[Suds]

I still haven't received anything about an appointment time.
Has anyone yet?

Nope. Seeing as next week is supposed to be the week for appointment I hope they get this information out soon. I think most of us need some time to arrange schedules.

[cmonyoureds]

hmmm, and secondly, anybody heard anything about us poor half season holders? i'm assuming if the relocation has been pushed back, so has the ransom pack purchasing too....

[Super]

Question with regards to seat relocation. What happens if I am able to pick a seat cheaper than my current one - would I then get a refund on my current ticket (or at least the amount above the cost of the new seat)?

[ArmenJBX]

MLSE? Refund? Give away money?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA :lol::rofl:

[Redpunkfiddle]

hmmm, and secondly, anybody heard anything about us poor half season holders? i'm assuming if the relocation has been pushed back, so has the ransom pack purchasing too....

The order is 1. Seat relocation 2. Additional tickets for STH 3. Gold list calls for ST 4. Same for Red list

At least, that was it last year.

I wouldn t be suprised if they pushed things back another week ifwe don't get notice soon.

Must be all that preparation for NOT being in the playoffs.... Zing!

[ArmenJBX]

Soooooo when can I purchase a marlies pack? I'm super stoked for those marlies :D

[Super]

MLSE? Refund? Give away money?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA :lol::rofl:

So what happens to the money paid for my current seat? Will that be made into "store credit"?

But yeah, you're right, I don't have much faith in MLSE treating its fans with much respect when it comes to money - but just want the policy confirmed.

They'll probably give it back, I can't see them taking your money.

[scooter]

of course they will give it back if you relocate to more inexpensive seats

Actually, I think it is "store credit", with the credit being applied to future seat purchases, but I may be wrong...

[Super]

It's possible. It's funny how this makes some people laugh, as if MLSE would never do such a thing. But I don't trust them.

[Super]

Had him going there for a bit, didn't you?

Depends. If they keep the money as "store credit" for future season ticket purchases then he's right on the money about MLSE keeping the money - as laughable and outrageously wrong as it seems. Hopefully mlsintoronto can dispel this fear in not just me, but others I've spoken to about this very topic.

[Joe Kool]

I didn't pay in full and put only the 20% deposit because (1) I couldn't afford the whole thing at once and (2) because I am hoping for a cheaper pair of seats so in the end, they can just reduce my next two payments.

If you paid in full then I really can't see them keeping the money and giving you credit for it unless there is some fine print somewhere but I doubt it. You would definitely have something to bitch about though for many years. Let us know how it goes.

[Darlofletch]

They won't want to do it now while people are pissed off. They'll wait until the anger dies down, or until just after a piece of good news (hey we pushed it back because we thought the playoffs would have been the good news, but instead we got you Steve Nicol, next years going to be great, you want additional tickets don't you?)

Seriously though, are they waiting for their chosen coach to get knocked out of the playoffs before they get this going? I'm on the gold list, It'd be nice to get something sorted out before christmas.

[Yagbod]

Amen to that, otherwise it is 'Go Marlies' ... sigh, again.

:facepalm:

I'm in the exact same boat!

I'm planning to make a big change in my season seats from going to some really expensive to the cheapest I can find. I wanted to get this done so my next two payments are much cheaper also, infact I think the 20% I put down on the first payment should almost cover the charges for my new set of tickets.

So here is my question...... If I get hit with another 20% for my expensive seats this month then I will probably be owed money by MLSE when I end up going to the re-location, when that all happens will TFC refund me the money they owe me now, or will it be put towards credit. I don't want no damn credit, the entire point to all this was to save money now!!!!!

ideas?

Call you ticket rep and ask?

[Parkdale]

they will probably cut you a refund check if that's what you want.

and when the hell is it happening? very little updates on the main site.

[Shaughno]

They won't cut out a refund check... at least not before you pressure them to do so. They'll give you a run around about how it will be applied as a credit. Just keep telling them you want your refund, not a credit.

[Joe Kool]

and when the hell is it happening? very little updates on the main site.

It still says November 9-12 in the SSH section so I am assuming that is still the target dates which would mean that we need to get email notification this week. I have something else I need to talk to my rep about so maybe I will give him a call.

[Joe Kool]

Just talked to my rep, their target to get emails out with appointments is end of day tomorrow and it is definitely going to take place next week.

[Parkdale]

cool. thanks for the info.

the website must have been updated since yesterday (the last time I looked at it)


http://web.mlsnet.com/t280/tickets/ssh/renewal/#location

[T.Reis]

Yeah, sorry I didn't just take the initative myself of calling but the truth is I didn't even remember i had one lol.

Thanks for all the good and speedy info since my post everyone! Don't you people have jobs?????

[Parkdale]

Don't you people have jobs?????

just good multi-tasking skills.

[Joe Kool]

Exactly!!! If you take into account everything I am doing right now I actually have about 3 jobs. Always got time to poke around the RPB forums here and there.

[JonO]

Really? I though this was your job....

monday 7.30pm

perfect for having a pint after work and then heading to BMO Field.

E-mail says bring cameras for snaps with the VC. They better put out some senior players to meet n greet too. After the new york mess, that wouldn't be too much to ask IMHO. Be good to chat to a couple of the guys and see what they felt went wrong.

[FluSH]

I have yet to be called for my new seats up North... what's going on here.... =P

[Yagbod]

More importantly, when do I find out that I have the distinct pleasure (barf) of buying Marlies tickets to get my 3 partial packs, or (gasp), get lucky and get to spend at least a thousand on seats where my neighbours forget how to stand?

(I am actually so in love with this team that I would probably pay the max, but I figure that I will be buying partial's if '96%' is true... if only my credit card would have worked back in 06-07...)

Does anyone have any idea on when the seat relocation frenzy will end and Gold listers get a crack?

[Suds]

I was on the Gold List and upgraded last year to a SSH. Be prepared to buy in at the higher priced seats as that may all that is available.

How quickly you move up depends on the renewal rate and then how many people in front of you buy or pass when it's their chance.

[Super]

... if '96%' is true...

It's funny how so many of us doubt this number. It's probably true, though. Otherwise they would have some explaining to do come next week if half the stadium is up for grabs.

My guess would be that this is correct.

[menefreghista]

They claim a 96% renew rate.

I CRY BULLSHIT!!!

That's the beauty of forcing us to renew while the season was still going on.

I'm sure the hope of the playoffs didn't hurt the renewals.

I'm wondering what the renewal rate may have been had the final date been after the 5-0 shit show.

[ochos]

I'm too lazy/busy to check through this entire thread.. what's the word on moving to the North end??

[Parkdale]

I'm too lazy/busy to check through this entire thread.. what's the word on moving to the North end??

hahaha.... lazy/busy. those are interchangeable?

short answer for your lazy/busy self -- there's not going to be a new north stand to start the next season, so they aren't going to relocate to somewhere that doesn't exist.

[Parkdale]

also - Monday, November 9, 2009 at 12:00PM

Looks like there's a few RPB's in that first group.
(you guys remember your original sign up number? mine's #9, like Dichio)

[wzhxvy]

If they opened up the North side now, there would be a mass exodus to the lower priced seats....and they might be stuck with finding buyers to the higher ends...they are not stupid.

My guess they have the North stand ready very early next season..create the open capacity and get people in those seats to expand their potential client base for a whole year. And only allow STH to buy in the following season...that way...you would have de-risked this change a bit vs. opening up 2000 lower end seats day 1.

[Nomad]

My guess would be that this is correct.

My guess would be closer to 90% which is what i've heard from someone inside. 96% sounds very high considering i know more than a few who did not renew their extras in higher priced seats.

[nascarguy]

I got monday at 1:30 I do not know if I'll be moving to a new sec or just a new seat in the same sec.

I'm Thinking about moveing to 111 maybe

[wzhxvy]

I am surprised by that 96% number...

[Joe Kool]

Anyone have an appointment last year on the final day of relocation? Wondering what the seat availability was like on that day. Dark grey and Reds I imagine but just wondering if someone was there last year at that time could confirm. I just got my seasons last year so my appointment is Thursday at 3PM. I figure I will only have an opportunity to change location of my current Dark Grey seats to other Dark Grey seats.

From year one I originally split the costs of my season seats with my brother-in-law. I believe it was last season he had transfered a set into my name....So he had one of the first appointments and I had one of the later appointments due to the seat transfer.

Last season when I went, there were lots of seats left in 127 and a good amount in other sections other than the expensive seats. It really depends on what people do in front of you.

[Parkdale]

I think that's the issue here.

Did they renew 96% of actual seats? - Probably not.
Did 96% of SSH keep at least one seat, thus being a 'renewal'? - Probably yes.

Obviously the 16,000 seats are not held by 16,000 people. the number is probably like 1/3 or 1/4 of that.

I did mine online. I actually walked back from the press conference (where they revealed the name/crest), and put 'Toronto FC' into google and found that they launched their site at the same time as the conference. Oh if they just had iPhones back then!

I think it works better as a 'hidden stat'. You know, like a post count.

^ Besides which there is little joy to be had for those people who get 6,792 written on their card. Not everyone can have a single digit number to be proud of! I signed up Nov/Dec 2006. Not sure where that puts me, probably quite early in the grand scheme of things but not early enough to get a number to brag about. So meh to that plan from me (and several thousand other people i expect)!

I have a pair in 127 that I might consider moving from if I can get into the south end.

I have a pair in 127 that I'm moving, and am hoping for 112 (good freakin' luck) or the front of 110, 111 if possible.

I'm open to a pair swap in 127 if anyone is interested in seats in the south!

113 - Row 20.



yep, I saw that, but 20 rows back is NG for me. The ones in 127 are 10 rows back.

[Parkdale]

We will all be migrating to the new NORTH END in 2010!

some people might, but I don''t ever see 112 not being the heart of the South End.

(and then there's pricing..... people won't move if it costs more)

[Nomad]

What difference does it make when you're never in them? :D

I don't think there's a bad seat in the house. Being closer doesn't always mean better, but they're not my tickets and i don't really care, just trying to help.

[Parkdale]

yeah, good point. If you aren't in the seats, at least you can get close to the action.

[Gixmo]

I'm hoping to go from Partials in 111, to fulls in 111/113-116 etc. 112 doesnt need anyone else and handles thier own lol :) Ideally, keeping ourselves at the top of 111 would be great and allow us to further organize and unite the south end (by doing away with partials up top)

I'm crossing my fingers

[cementhead]

I,m hoping to get out of 109 and in to cheap seats!

For the people going - post reports etc about whats there and what isn't...

I'm heading down to my app (Thursday @ 10am) just to see what's there & not there - I'm not looking to move (unless a pair in my same section, same row, on the aisle is open)...

Just interesting to see whats going on...

I would think this would be the case with alot of people who have the earlier appointments since they have had a few years to move around. I would think that it would just get busier as the week goes on.

actually I've never moved....Had my seats since day 1 and have loved them

[akoto]

I've had my original pair since day 1 but I picked up an additional pair this season that are in the last row of 127 and I'd either like to move lower down in that section or into the south end/111/110. I'd prefer 112 or 113. I regret not buying in 112 when I had the chance with my original pick.

[sidvan]

leaving now for my 12:00 - afternoon off work it is all good

Good call man.

I was naive enough to think that I would be able to check out the first few games of the 2007 season and still be able to get in on seasons if I wanted so I never really rushed to buy any initially. As soon as I went to the first game and loved it I knew I wanted to get them. Signed up for the waiting list on the morning it came out and just got my seasons this past year. Now I have the job of trying to improve with the relocation event for the next numbers of years to get into a situation like you where I love my seats. Hopefully one day...

[MUFC_Niagara]

I have 4 seats and love them all. I am going to see whats there but likely will not move either of my pairs.

[Parkdale]

okay, just got back.

Guess who's in 112 next year? :D:D:D

So there were 2 seats in 112, maybe 6 in 113, and a few in 111 and 110.
I know it rotates, so it's hard to say exactly how it will work out for everyone else.

hopefully everyone can get what they want.

moved my 2 seats in 127 to 110, row 24.

was pretty quiet down there, and a whole bunch of available seats in 127, there was pretty much a whole row up for grabs!

a few in 112, not many and sporadically placed, a few in 111, including 4 in a row up in the 20's.

[akoto]

I got to move my pair in 127 to 113. There were a lot of seats available in 127. Looked like half a row plus a few pairs here and there. A few pairs in the south end, mostly in 117 and 118 were also available.

[Chewy Unikronik]

I think so... If you're on the waiting list, the prawn seats are you "price of admission" to become a season ticket holder...

I have prawnie seats, and like having them - but if I was on the waiting list without seasons, and my name was called to get dark greys, I'd jump at the chance, become a SSH and work on moving if I wanted to each year...

Question: if you successfully relocate from seat A to seat B, how does payment work? Do they want full payment of seat B on the day of relocation - OR do they simply put the money you've paid (I've paid one installment on my seat A) towards seat B - and continue the 3-part payment-plan as normal (except with the new price of course)?

I tried calling TFC about this, but I guess all employees are outside helping the relocation process.

As far as I know your payment will get adjusted accordingly.

So what's left, if anything, in 112-118? Also, anyone know what 111 and 104 looks like? I'm looking to save a bit by moving my seat (not that I'm ever in it anyway ;))

The rep told me it will be adjusted by next week some time.

Got some questions. I have never done the relocation before, how does it work from the time you get in? Are you assigned a TFC rep to walk around with you or something? I am assuming that there are many people in each 30 min timeslot so how do they keep it from becoming a mess? or maybe they don't?

You get in.....and all the available seats are marked. You stake your claim on seats and pull the markers off the seats.......if 2 or more people want the same seats in a session, I believe it goes to the individual with more seniority. Bring the seat tabs you chose into the waiting area and the reps will process your new seats. I believe this is the process.

Dichio and some of the training staff were on the field, running around.
I'm standing in 112, and they run by and Dichio yells "Hi Parky" at me.

Thanks for the info. So you basically have to wait until the end of the 30 min session then to see if someone who has seniority is going to grab the ones you picked already I guess going by that description? That would suck. I thought it would be first come, first serve during that 30 min. I have seen some people at the game and I know I can outrun them. Others, maybe not. Can you cut diagonally across the field?:D

Don't quote me on that...but I think this is how they would resolve 2 people wanting the same seat in a session. They will give you a complete briefing when you get to the field prior to your appointment. So get there early enough and you can ask the reps questions to know for sure.

At the gate you're greeted by a nice lady who will look up your name and give you a card with your account number and priority ranking. You go into the beer garden suite and eat chips with about 20 people while one of the reps explains the process. When you are let loose, you can wander the stadium and choose the seats you want, and after the time is up, you take the cards off the seats and go back to the suite. You're on your own in the stadium, so as long as you aren't taking a poop at mid-field, they leave you alone.

If there are two people who want the same seats, then the person with the better priority (based on original ticket purchase date) will get them. When you're getting the change processed, you can pay for the seats right there if you like, or they will simply adjust your account and proceed as you were before (payment plan, etc).

[Red CB Toronto]

I was at the 1:30 time slot and was able to trade my two singles in 111 for a pair in 119, row 10 on the aisle, which makes me very happy.

I counted about 25 seats in 127 including 9 in a row, which was not touched at all when I was there. I also saw six in a row in 117 along with a few pairs through the southend.

During your 30 minute session, the first 10 min or so in what they called your window shopping time, about the 10 min mark, the horn went off, which meant you could pull the paper off the seats and proceed to the table to process the relocation, if you had not decided by then, you had the rest of the 30 minute period to wander before the horn went off again to signal the end.

[Antifa Bhoy]

The soccer associations are bailing on 127 :)

fixed your post. the reason there were almost 2 full rows towards the back were because those seats were owned by some soccer associations.
