I voted 'great' because I got what I wanted.

Moved a pair from 127 into 112, but also kept my prawns in 223.

Voted Great!

Appointment: Monday @ 2pm.

I moved 2 singles from 110 to a pair in 111 (row 25, seat 4+5). The goal was to move 2 single seats and put them together but stay in the general vicinity since my dad wanted to keep the view and atmosphere. There was a pair in the row right behind me in 114 that I wanted to move him into but I couldn't get a hold of him so I stuck to the plan.

No complaints.

having 3 seats in a row could be a big advantage down the road if you ever want to move again and you can't leave a single seat behind.

granted you're in the 8th row of 111, so I don't see you wanting to move from there.

i am in row 6, seat 3 and 4.
shags is in 1 and 2
and i think flush has some control over 5 and 6,

so yes we have the whole row.

Well, those 2 seats are occupied by my dad and brother but they stand, chant, and are really vocal. They are RPB by association. :D I sit in 114.

Pretty good.

Moved from 222 to 220. Saved $$$$$. Tickets end up being used by gf and her mom so it works out and this year it won't feel so bad when I have to shell out money for tickets in the south end.

Last year I essentially ended up buying another "seasons" in the south.

I voted bad because I was not able to move to any of the alternatives I was hoping for. I had sort of a plan A,B, and C going in but there were very limited options today.

On the plus side I was able to move a single I have closer to the pair I have in 109. The 109 seats have very good site lines, everyone stands, they are on the aisle, etc.

So, while I didn't get to move to the sections I wanted, I still have decent seats. So, in MLSE speak, there is always next year. :D

I am happy that a RPB got those, being in the 1:30 timeslot, just before you I went up and looked at those having had two singles in 111 (row 31 and 8) last season and wanting to make them into a pair. The moment I walked into BMO just before 1 pm, I saw a pair in the lower half of 119, row 10 seats 15-16 right on the aisle and that was what I was focused on. Went to them the moment the horn went, so at the 10 min mark I pulled the paper before making my over to 111 to check those out, but decided to go with the 119 as they were 15 rows lower. Enjoy.

I am very happy with my new address - 119, row 10, seats 15-16, looking forward to when the Union come to town.

Hi everyone

I'm a new member of this forum and I just came back from my relocation session. To say that I am happy is an understatement. Here is why.

Two years ago I was invited to come along to BMO Field so that I can purchase seats for my own, rather than using someone else. I found two seats dead centre but separated by a few people. I thought so what I'll ask people to move over and thus I'll have two seats together.

It worked out for the first year, but it sucked having to tell everyone please move over as I'm sure they didn't like too much either. At the end of the first year I realized that one of my seats was next to a single seat holder so I thought when I see him again I'll ask him to swap.

No luck of that as he was selling his ticket for the remainder of the 2008 season.

All of 2009 he did not show up to one game, which worked out OK for me. I had the two seats unofficially for myself.

Well long story short today at the relocation I found the seat next to one of mine there for the taking.

Two years it took and I'm such a happy shit that I can't wait for the 2010 season to start with the natural turf in place. I felt luck today so with my relocation sheet in hand I purchased a Lotto MAX and a 649.

Can hurt to try.

cuz if no one will, and the thread can be kept strictly to posting only seat locations then. . I will take on the task.

I am thrilled saved like $1300 on my tickets and have a wicked awesome spot.. that is totally awesome in every way of awesomeness that could possibly be awesome. . . .

I kept my 118 pair which I love (although I HATE the TRN noise) - anyone move into 118 because we could really use some mroe voices in there!

I moved my second pair from the 220s to middle of 127, these will be used next seaosn by a couple of guys who are dead keen to join the TFC family and want to to sing and jump and make noise. They are VERY fucking happy that I managed to relocate the seats to 127, so on their behalf I voted great!

I wanted to move from 222 to 221, but I sit next to my brother in-law and he was the lowest of the priority groups (last group of the relocation process) so I had to push my time back to go with him. We ended up in 225 instead - we save $600/pair each, but the atmosphere won't be quite the same as 221. Plus, we're row 24 and 25 now (coudn't get four in a row, but we're in-front of one another). C'est la vie, there's always next year!

Moved from the prawn section in 108 to 121. We were on the end of a row in 108 and spent most of the games standing to let tourists come and go. Now we are in the centre of a row, out of the sun, closer to the atmosphere in the south end and we've saved a few hundred bucks. Can't wait for our first play off season and real grass.

I already posted in another thread I was disappointed there were no procedures in place to help SGs get members into the sections. That is my only complaint.

Otherwise, the guys who run this are extremely helpful and are genuinely interested in helping serve their customers. At the end of the day, TFC has encouraged these guys to be as customer-oriented as possible and that is a good thing. Unlike some of the horror stories from team in the US.

They are *almost* there...get the SG issue resolved and this is a completely satisfactory experience.

Thanks for the welcome. It's good to hear they try to get some chants going in that section. I came home from the event and told my wife that we moved to 221 but it might be a quiet section. I had my U20 World Cup seats there so remember watching a game there is pretty decent but I have taken in any TFC games yet in that part of the upper deck. I am in row 16.

Detroit_TFC
11-13-2009, 12:13 PM
I'm in row 19, seats 27 and 28. There is a little cluster there of STH who are regulars, good group of folks. They don't chant but they for the most part stay in their seats and don't get up 10 times a game like some around there (those people who get up so much either they have walnut sized bladders or they are just bored, mainly tourists).

Miko
11-13-2009, 09:37 PM

There was a kid in 222 row 17 last year who would go out twice a half for food. Kid's complexion should have told him to skip the pizza.

Interesting. Guess I'll be stuck with partial pack offers again. Wonder if they're gonna force the marlies on us again.

It very much depends upon what is available at my appointment time and the costs. I was hoping to get out of a single "ransom pack" partial season seat and grab two partial pack seats in an area I can afford.

I may end up with one seat if only more expensive seats are all that remain. I work a full time job weekdays and part time on weekends and so a partial pack makes most sense for me given that I can't get a lot of time off.

Of course the fact that every game is a road game for me also factors into it... to be able to just hop the bus or the train and get to and from a game in an hour or so... <sigh> that would be heavenly.
