Gold-Lister's United.

[Yagbod]

We were told last week that we would be contacted by the middle of this week (tomorrow?) about buying season's tickets. They told of 200 seats in the $1000/per areas.


I thought a new thread to spread any news would be appropriate and appreciated, by me at least.

:scarf:

Wait so this isn't a Gold Coast United threat? Ugh, fine. Yeah I got the email too, looks like kodiak is headed for another partial pack.

[torontocelt]

Was it not 400 seats as per below email? You never know as xmas is coming up and some people just will not be able to justify $1000 for even one ticket.


This year we have over 400 Full Season Seats available (mostly in the Dark Grey sections) and approximately 2000 Partial Packs!

[Mark in Ottawa]

some people just will not be able to justify $1000 for even one ticket.
Count me in this category. I mean it was even a stretch for me last season having to pay for a "ransom pack" :(

[Fort York Redcoat]

Yeah but how many Marlies packs do I have to buy this year? Maybe they'll make me buy some Rock tickets this time.

[lips]

No Marlies ticket for me I hope. If there are dark grays available I will pick them up. Just can’t let the wife see the visa statement:D

[Yagbod]

Crap, I am also on Dec 14 at 3:15pm. For a few moments I was optimistic that the 14th was the first day, and then Hustle posted.... ugh. Even more depressing is that TorontoCelt has the same appointment time as me, meaning there is more than one guy doing this at their office. Sooooo many potential people ahead of me.... ugh, time to break out the Marlies cap....(which I got for free last year, for the record)

[Darlofletch]

Thursday december 3rd at 2pm. jesus! that's tomorrow. need to start planning shit and contacting people.

i bought a marlie pack for season two, and when they called for season 3, there were multiple partial (non marlie) packs available as well as dark grey seasons, so if you got marlie packs last year, you'll hopefully be able to avoid them this year.

[Canada72]

Monday, December 14, 2009 at 1:00 PM - Looks like a partial pack again. I bought a Marlies pack last year.

[Darlofletch]

It didn't say in the e-mail but they are phoning us at the contact number in our account manager profile... right? Or are we expected to call into the TFC offices?

Living in Ottawa I really hope I can avoid the "ransom pack" this season :(

[Darlofletch]

they call you, so go to account manager and make sure the number's correct.

so what, you don't want to come down from ottawa for a marlies game? where's the committment Mark, where's the committment?:D

The two ticket limit was for anyone buying new tickets. You were allowed to buy a maximum of two, up to a limit of four total.

If the approval for the new North Stands goes through, there might be additional seats available beyond the 400 currently allotted. Good question to ask at the pub crawl tomorrow night.

Thursday, December 10, 2009 at 4:30 PM
5 full days between my time and the earliest I have seen so far. 5 days times 8 hours times 4 tickets reps per hour equals 160 pairs sold before I get a shot. Does that mean I can avoid the Marlies pack this year, or do I have to face another winter of spending money on something that I have no interest in. Fcuk

Not to mess up your mind or anything but I'm pretty sure that they aren't doing 1 appointment per hour. Could be every half hour (or some are even on the 15's).

That said, not everyone opts for a season ticket. Last year, once the cheap ones were out, many gold listers opted for the partial packs. Some bought singles too.

If I remember right, I was about 7 days behind on the gold list last year and that morning they sold out of their final pair of season seats (Field seats and Club reds were all that were left in the morning). Many Marlies' packs were available but all of the TFC packs were gone.

We got great seats in 110 though and through the exchange got to all the games.

There is hope.

[sulfur]

They're doing one every 15 minutes.

[Dalybro]

anyone know if we have to pay full pop up front or can we pay a deposit and the rest later? With Christmas coming up this is going to screw a lot of people.

[Yeoman]

yeah it's going to.
i seriously think i'm going to have to pass on this :(
unless they change it to being able to take the funds out a couple days before every game? $1000 seats are WAY out of my league then.

[wzhxvy]

You have to pay full pop by December 16th I believe...so they take 60% from you on the spot and the rest in December.

[Yeoman]

yep, way out of my league then *sigh*

k, so it looks like Thursday the 10th is the first day for gold listers to buy right?

How bout that night someone posts a thread detailing what sections they got, and as the days twirl along gold listers can add to the thread.

Hopefully this will give us a better understanding of where other RPB's are when they get their call....am i making any sense?

oh, and my apointment is Friday 11th @1pm

[J-Man]

My appointment is on Thursday December 10 at 11:00am i hope there will be at least partial packs.I really don't want Marlies tickets again.

I've got Monday, December 7, 2009 at 2:15 PM.

Last year I was able to get partial packs in 111, and LOVED being in the Supporters Section. I'm trying to decide if this is the year that I bite the bullet and pay through the nose.

[cmonyoureds]

tuesday, dec 8th at 1:30 pm. if it's anything like last year, i'm far enough down the list that i'll be recycling marlies tickets agian this year.
even if by some miracle those dark greys are available, at 1000 a pop, they won't be coming to my house. in fact, i'll be debating if i will pick up the marlies packs for that matter.....

all depends on the number of reps assigned to making calls. If there are 4, I agree, it shall be tough.

That said there are some pretty drawn out times here... Dec 14th, 16th... and you are relatively early according to that time line... you never know

[Pookie]

This feels like high school math class all over again.

They have 2,900 single tickets available as part of a ST, PP or All Seasons (400+1000+1500).

Since they are selling in pairs, that's about 1,450 calls necessary to sell them all. That's a variable number though since some might buy a couple of packs or singles.

If calls start this afternoon and they have 5-6 reps working 4 appointments per hour over an 7-8 hour workday. Here is my guess as to what will happen depending on your appointment (I have way too much time on my hands)

Thursday afternoon - pick whatever you like
Friday - You should still have a good crack at cheaper season seats. Later in the day you might start to weigh expensive seats vs a Partial
Monday - Expensive STs vs Partial
Tuesday - Expensive STs vs Partial
Wednesday - Most Partials will be gone by the afternoon, I would expect expect a few expensive STs (Clubs and Fields) vs All Seasons
Thursday on through to Monday - All Seasons will be left

[Darlofletch]

the middle sections of the west stand (dark grey), it's only about the last 7 rows get coverage. I was there last year, and thoroughly enjoyed the shade and shelter.

[Hitcho]

^ king prawn!!! :D:D:D

[Mark in Ottawa]

Oh... that itty bitty roof. I thought that was just a ledge so bitchy wouldn't be dropping "stuff" on the rich folks in the Prawnie Sections :rolleyes:

With gold lister calls starting today... a week from Monday is looking not so good :(

O well... we'll just havta deal with it when the time comes.
Good luck to all of you during the "Gold Rush" :scarf:

[tfc2007]

Dec 9 @ 9:30 am. They better still have seasons.

[TOBOR !]

Tuesday, December 8, 2009 at 2:45 PM

first year bought single game tix, got on Red list.
Second year, got call and picked up Marlies pack x 2
Third year, turned down $$$ seasons, bought 'Friendly' partial (other two partials N/A).

This year I'm expecting a better selection of STs and partials to be available. Given the way things are I figure I'll get a better partial pack in a better (lighter grey) section and things ought to gradually improve in this fashion year after year until I'm eventually able to afford an available ST offer - or not.

[Soods]

Dark grey seasons are lowest available for the Gold listers.

[Sab0tage]

Monday, December 7, 2009 at 2:30 PM

Not bad. Hoping for some cheap seasons or some partials in the light grey.

[Carts]

Monday, December 7, 2009 at 2:30 PM

Not bad. Hoping for some cheap seasons or some partials in the light grey.


They started calling today at 1pm - I don't think cheap season pairs will be kicking around on Monday...

My advice to anyone, is GET YOUR FOOT IN THE DOOR...

If on your call they offer up season tickets that too expensive for you, or offer up partial packs - ask if there is a single season ticket somewhere...

TFC want to rid the stadium of empty single seats... Purchasing that single gets you through the door, you are now a season seat holder, and then after next season, they'll be trying to pair up single tickets...

You might find yourself with a season ticket pair a lot quicker than buying partials each year and hoping for a pair to come available...

Carts...

[Fort York Redcoat]

Way to go Carts. Now everyone knows my strategy.;)

[Pookie]

^ the other factor though is that the new north stand will likely be offered up in the season ticket package next year.

Last year they had 400 seasons available to the gold list. This year the number is the same. Even if they release just 60% of those new seats, that's an additional 600+ in 2011 or over 1,000 in total (with a similar renewal rate)

[phonzo]

ya carts...secret spoiler

[Darlofletch]

So, apparently plenty of pairs available under the roof (including the exact pair i had last year and gave up 224, row 19, seats 27 and 28, treat them right whoever gets them), but i was thoroughly shocked to be offered light greys! section 227, row 3, only $399 each. I'll give them a try and if i don't like it relocate under the roof next year.

I snapped the guys arm off as I didn't think they'd be that cheap so didn't get much info on what else is available. I did ask about 110, 111 area, and all he said was there's no seasons there, so presumably that means there are partial packs there again.

[Hitcho]

^ way to go dunc!!! no longer a prawnie mate!!! WHAEY!!!

[Darlofletch]

I quite enjoyed being a prawnie, but not for an extra $1100 a year i didn't.

[Darlofletch]

Is 227 still a "family" section, cos I don't intend to cut down on the drinking and swearing.

[Globetrotter]

^ it is, and if you have any respect, you will stop with both while in your section. :D

if surrounded by kids i'll try and keep a lid on things, but if you see some random dude and a really short woman being escorted out of that section next year, that'll be me and Mrs Darlofletch.

[Darlofletch]

Hold the phone, you got FULL SEASONS in light greys?! That is huge! My appointment is in an hour!

I didn't get around to asking how many of them there are, but hopefully there'll be some left. You'd definitely be able to get full seasons in dark grey at the least.

I'm still quite giddy about this.:hump:

[Fort York Redcoat]

[Toronto Ruffrider]

Go getem' Ruffy!!!:scarf:

I've got my fingers crossed!;) Unfortunately I have to head out immediately after my ticket appointment. I'll be sure to report what I scooped up later tonight.

FWIW, full seasons in a light grey section would obviously be my first choice. If only dark greys are available, however, I will stick with partial packs. I am very nearly at the front of the Gold list, so I'm 99% sure I can at least purchase what I had last year - i.e. a pair of light-grey seats in each of the season opening and season ending packs. It is much cheaper for me to purchase partial packs in the light greys and augment my packs with single-game purchases than to go the dark grey route. With the north end being added to BMO, single-game purchases should be much easier this season.

At 4.30 the cheapest pair of season tickets were medium grey.

There weren't any grey season tickets, singles or pairs.

There were light grey home opener and finale tickets, some in 119 & 111.

i thought so to... but ive been a 3 seat partial pack holder since the beginning..maybe that had something to do with it

[Suds]

I thought you could only get two?

Not sure if there was a restriction of only 2 per person, but you're allowed to own up to 4 seats. They have a number of singles they ware trying to off-load so it makes sense they would allow someone to add a single to a pair.

[Suds]

i thought so to... but ive been a 3 seat partial pack holder since the beginning..maybe that had something to do with it

I think that's it. You owned 3 partials so they allowed you to upgrade each seat.

[torontocelt]

tomorrow at 4:45 for me. Probably going with the partial again.

[Gixmo]

Your date/time is what matters most.. the longer out you are, the less likely you are to get what you want.

As Carts has said, really.. It's best to bend over once and just get it done, cause once your in - You are in.

[Yeoman]

ugh hello using line of credit again i suppose :(

[Toronto Ruffrider]

My appointment was at 4:30pm earlier today. My choices essentially boiled down to medium grey seasons or partial packs, and I went the latter route because I was able to get light greys. This may sound uber-cheap on my part, but there's no sense in me buying more expensive full seasons when I can augment my packs will single-game purchases. With stadium expansion on the way, I don't anticipate tickets will be quite as scarce this season.

[Toronto Ruffrider]

My appointment was today. i got 3 seasons in light greys.. finally a SSH :)

Congratulations. I have a feeling that having three seats side-by-side in partial packs really paid off for you. I'm guessing that the club didn't want to break up the odd number of season tickets.

[Huyton]

I just got a call from MLSE, thanking me for being a supporter of MLSE teams. I corrected him, stating that I was a partial pack Gold Lister. I had extreme hopes that he was actually calling me earlier than my alloted time (Mon, 2:25pm) because maybe they'd found some supporters seasons tickets underneat the cushions in the couch, or perhaps tossed out some scalpers.

But no...He was wondering if I was interested in some Marlies tickets in combination with Leafs tickets for the holidays, maybe to put under the Christmas tree.

I told him that unless purchasing such a package of tickets would get me nearer the Holy Grail of a pair in the South Stands, I wasn't interested...all my disposable income that I may have will be spent on (fingers crossed) a pair of light greys.

He persisted, saying that this is a great way to get Leafs Tickets, and joing the Leafs Nation, but I said that I'd only been to one Leafs Game since Borje Salming played for them, and that was because I'd lucked in to a pair of corporate seats for a company I was working for at the time.

He wished me luck getting my TFC tickets, and that was it.

Any other Gold list people getting calls like this?

[Soods]

Yep....had the same call.

[Fort York Redcoat]

^Can't wait. I'll try not to piss them off so much they cancel my appointment.

[sarsippius]

^ totally got the same call. My time isn't until Friday of next week. I guess I am about screwed, although I am going to ask what the deal will be for the North End Seats.

[sulfur]

I hope that I get that call...

"Sorry, I'm a fan of 'Canada's team'... the Habs." :)

(so voted in some random poll last week)

[David_Oliveira]

Kind of worried I was supposed to get a call at 4:45 today and never did. I checked my account manager and the number on it is perfect. I'm really hoping that I don't get screwed over here. I called the TFC office and left a msg

[David_Oliveira]

bump? any ideas

[Darlofletch]

Call the office - 416 360 4625 - tell them you missed the appoinment - actually just say you never got the call - my buddy did and they let him have the appointment right then


^ from the addittional seats thread for platinumlisters. You may have to wait until monday, but hopefully it won't screw you too much.

I'm beginning to second guess myself about giving up my prawn seats for the cheapies in 227. I really liked those seats. have to keep reminding myself that by saving $30 per game per ticket I've basically paid for our bmo beer budget for next year.:drinking::drinking::drinking:

[Yeoman]

what is options for payment anyways?

[Gixmo]

I believe cheque or credit were the options, not entirely too sure to be honest.

yeah i just clued into the payment thing
i just went and canceled the visa, that thing is the devils work!

[Ben - D.O.W.]

Ok this is a dumb question but is this a they call us or a we call them situation? I'm never sure if I'm just supposed to wait by the phone or just call them when it's my appointment time and their description ("Below is your specific appointment time (by phone), which is generated from the date you joined the waiting list") isn't the most helpful. Thanks for the help.

[Chapman]

They will call you

[Globetrotter]

as of this morning they have partial packs at the top of 111 (119, 104 and 105 for the cheaps) (as well as a lot of more expensive stuff)

[Soods]

No seasons tickets left?

[Globetrotter]

^yes, they do. light and med they have single seats for seasons, no pairs in that section (only partial pack pairs). they do have seasons, good seats, in the expensive sections.

i managed to buy a pair of seats, in the exact same seats for all 3 partial packs (not the ransom packs). so essentially i have a pair of seasons on my gold list account, however technically they aren't seasons... as they will be released at the end of the year. those packs were all in the lowest price level also.

[King Jeff]

Just got my call. They do have dark grey, red and fieldside tables available if you're desperate for a full season's ticket. I picked up a half-pack in 111.

[Dalybro]

Do full season seat holders get an option to buy a second seat every year? Doesn't matter if its together or not. My girlfriends brother has 1 full season ticket since day one. Since my appointment is on Thursday I'm thinking this may be a better option to get tickets if its doable.

I dont think season holders can add anymore this season as that time has passed, unless they are also on gold list? I may be wrong though?

[Dalybro]

What about for next year? Do they get the option every year of adding another seat?

[torontocelt]

What about for next year? Do they get the option every year of adding another seat?


yes they do as long as they dont have something like 6 seats each or something along those lines. There is no guarentee they would be able to get an additional seat though, it depends where they are on the list, what was available and what they could afford. Also it would always be in his name as you cannot transfer ownership anymore. If you get offered one this week and you can afford it I would go that route as at least then it is yours.

[Dalybro]

How come you can't transfer ownership? I thought you had a pay a fee and could do it before.

[torontocelt]

How come you can't transfer ownership? I thought you had a pay a fee and could do it before.

dunno, they changed the rule. I guess too many people were using this to jump the queue which is fair enough.

[Pookie]

^ I would wager that they felt that it looked too much like a Personal Seat License benefit.

You can sell the rights to your tickets if you hold a PSL. In fact, you can sell them for a profit if you can get it.

Someone was probably concerned that PSL holders for the Leafs and Raptors might start thinking, WTF? TFC fans can transfer (and profit) without having to pay the PSL fee?

NOTE: I am NOT advocating for a PSL. Cripes, yearly increases are hard enough to swallow.

[Petor]

Hey!
I'm a red lister, do any of you gold listers or season ticket holders think that I will get a sniff at anything?
Just wondering as I haven't seen a red lister thread yet.
Looks like I might have an easier time finding shangri la or getting stuck in timbuktu.

[stugautz]

Last year I was a red lister and was offered the Marlies pack. I said no. I don't remember and season seats being available.

[Dalybro]

I'd be willing to give a red lister my time slot. Thursday Dec. 10 at 1:00pm if we can arrange something. Do you think they would let someone else pay for them and deliever to their home address?

[phonzo]

there were only marlies packs available to red listers last year..but as I was reminded then it's your cost to enter..

Gold listers will be probably eat up any partial packs if they can't afford / are no seasons left. I'm still throwing my hopes at buying a single season for next season then trying to pair it up the following year

[Sab0tage]

My time was supposed to be 2:30 this afternoon. I know it's just a few minutes past but it's still a bit frustrating.

[Pookie]

Last year I was a red lister and was offered the Marlies pack. I said no. I don't remember and season seats being available.

... Red Listers will likely have a crack at the new seats in the North End for single games.

[Sab0tage]

Haha, they called RIGHT after I posted.

Ended up getting partial pack (home opener) again in Section 111, row 33. I had the last partial pack in 111 as far as I know except there were some All-Sport packs.

[Pookie]

My unofficial guess is that you will have a choice of All Seasons and that's it. I do think you'll see them open up the north stand to red listers for single game matches though.

I posted back on page 2 the way I thought it would break down. I've been wrong before though... ask my wife :)

We are now obviously into "Monday"

Thursday afternoon - pick whatever you like
Friday - You should still have a good crack at cheaper season seats. Later in the day you might start to weigh expensive seats vs a Partial
Monday - Expensive STs vs Partial
Tuesday - Expensive STs vs Partial
Wednesday - Most Partials will be gone by the afternoon, I would expect expect a few expensive STs (Clubs and Fields) vs All Seasons
Thursday on through to Monday - All Seasons will be left

[Huyton]

I just got my call, and there were a couple of single seasons left, and pairs in the expensive areas - Red and above.

I got two partial packs - Home opener and home closer, in Section 111, both of them in row 32. Three seats for each partial pack.

So, you'll see me in Row 32, seats 18, 19, and 20 for one set, and 14, 15, and 16 for the other. Oh, and the three of us sing, chant, and do The Massive. The only reason we need seats at all is to put our beer on while we hold our scarves high.

Getting a little closer to the Hallowed ground that is the South Stand.

[Pookie]

so no dark grey seasons left?

Getting a little closer to the Hallowed ground that is the South Stand. 111 was pretty decent last year. I was upper 111 last year as well, the only issue is a lot of people at the top start chants amongst themselves when everyone else in 112/bottom of 111 is doing something else.

[Huyton]

I got on the waiting list before the first ball was kicked, and in the Fall, they came calling and there was only the All Seasons tickets left. However, back then, they divided the season into 2, not three. After bit of a think, I took two All Seasons.

That got me on to the Gold list. Oh, and my firend, the guy who occupies the other seat of the pair took the Marlies tickets, as his girlfriend loves hockey (she's been to a few TFC games, and she loves TFC, too). We were in Section 219.

Last year, we moved to 111, row 29, and got three tickets in one partial pack - the home closer.

This year, two partial packs in 111.

So, getting better each year. Perhaps next year will see us get full seasons in 111, or another supporters section.

So don't knock the All Season partial pack as a method of getting a foot in the door. You might be able to find a charity (Big Brothers or a local Boy Scout group, perhaps) who'd be happy to give you a tax receipt for the Marlies tickets.

[Toronto Ruffrider]

You must be referring to the "This beer is so delicious" guy. There were times I wanted to throw him over the back rail last season.

[Sab0tage]

You must be referring to the "This beer is so delicious" guy. There were times I wanted to throw him over the back rail last season. Hahaha, I think I know who you mean. They the same guys who smoked a joint like every single game?

[Huyton]

Hey, Sab0tage...Yes, I know about Suzy and her shenanigans. I gather they're gone, though.

So, you're in row 33, and I'm in 32, we'll just have to make sure we keep an eye on the Capos, and try to keep the people around us in time and on tune.

[David_Oliveira]

Email your account rep too.

Thanks for the advice it got me all set up.

[Red CB Toronto]

Are you sure Suzy and her shenanigans are gone, where did they go, I loved their chants, some of the best in the stadia, it was always fun wondering what would they come up with next.

[cmonyoureds]

oh geez, even lower 110 knew all about suzy bear for crying out loud.

any late appt updates as to what was left from today?

[Gixmo]

I've got a bit of time to go.. Sounds like this may be an interesting scenario overall.. Do I take a full time season single in the light greys if available and then try to double it up next year, or do I go for twin partial packs.. Who konws. I don't want to pay this Marlies bologna next year.. Then you read about people wanting to sell their seats or appointment times off to general public/users.. Who knows. I guess we'll see.

At least the other part of my 'pair' has a single elsewhere, so I could pick my own single up and try to relocate beside eachother. Odd stuff I tell you. What would you guys do in this position? Get both, or take the single and meet in the beer garden/invade the north stand?

As for Suzy, let it die folks.. It's done. You guys in 33 are going to love it, the back railing is absolute lifesaver when it comes to the jumping up and down. I really, really hope I'll be back up top this year - time will tell.

[Hustle]

I went the full seasons route and I picked up 3 seats in 109 this year. Row 27 Seats 15,16,17. Its pretty clear that they are keeping the top of 111 as partial packs as I could have got those again, but wanted to get my full seasons and wait on relocation next year. Absolutely no pairs of seasons available in 110 or 111. I hope 109 is ready to rock or 111 might get a little more crowded ;)

I have a buddy over by you, party on!!!

I'm hoping to score at least a single somewhere, then we can always just 'tour' around.. or fill up on partial packs and hope for the new stand and the mass exodus towards it..

[kodiakTFC]

I'm at 9:45am tomorrow, i'll update you guys and whats available.

[Toronto Ruffrider]

Hahaha, I think I know who you mean. They the same guys who smoked a joint like every single game?

They were the highest in our section in more ways than one!

If it were me and I wanted to save some money but get in on the SSH thing I would buy two light grey singles and deal with being separated for the year then during relocation next year move to a pair. I think it would be better than buying one single ticket and trying to double it next year because you still will be left with two singles (most likely extra one will be dark grey or red too) because you can only buy an extra ticket, if available, after you confirm that you are taking the 2010 seat again. Make sense?

[kodiakTFC]

7 minutes after my allotted time, no call. Starting to get antsy!

[Joe Kool]

7 minutes after my allotted time, no call. Starting to get antsy!

The call I got last year was late too. Hopefully you finally got yours.

[kodiakTFC]

Ok I had my appointment. I got two of each of the 3 partial packs, all in light grey. Two of them are in the top of 111 and one is in 104. I got the last two seats in 111 for the two partial packs I got in there! There are still a few light greys in 104,219 and 220. Best of luck!

[Greg]

Decided to go for dark greys in 106. Expensive :(

Finally a season ticket holder after waiting for 3 years!

[BuSaPuNk]

There only dark greys available for seasons? Thinking I might take the bump and get just the one seat and try to add another next year.

[TOBOR !]

maybe you guys already know this, but I just found out that you can add partial packs to your existing total enough to cover the entire season (upon availability). That is to say, last year I asked if I could pick up 2 home openers and 2 home finales, and I was told that I could not - I could only get 2 packs total. Now I can get as many packs as I like, as long as I'm only getting 2 seats in each (so, up to 6 packs - 2 each of D, E, and F).

Anyway, short story long I got 2 x D and 2 x E in 104, row 18. Away support has got Tobor to deal with now.

I got the impression that there is a fair number of STs left, but all dark grey and up - not in my budget.

This has been a good day for Tobor... a bad day for travelling fans.

[Greg]

hmm, wish i knew about combining the partial packs

oh well :)

[Sab0tage]

They were the highest in our section in more ways than one! Hahaha.

[heather]

Appoint was at 9 this morning

I got a TFC partial pack in 120 (No Marlies! huzzah!), home opener $260 total.
They still had seasons for $1995.

[Pookie]

Hey Heather... no Dark Grey or Red seasons... just Club?

[heather]

No idea.. the cheapest seasons they had were $1995. sorry!

no idea re singles or doubles either. I just asked for the cheapest option to keep me on the waiting list.

[tfcja]

Just had my appointment late this morning... There were no more non-marlies partial packs left. Season tickets (pairs) were available in dark-grey, red and field sides. I'm sure you can take your pick of the Marlies packs but I didn't ask since I've had Marlies tickets for two years now and I'm not interested in buying them again!

[Mark in Ottawa]

Does this mean that you lose your place on the Gold List by not purchasing something this season?

[Patrick Srayze]

Had my appointment at 11:50 this morning. They had a couple of partial pack pairs left in the light gray, a few more in the medium gray and higher. Managed to pick up one of those light gray pairs for the home finale pack.

Lots of all season sports packs are left at all prices.

Was tempted to pull the trigger on dark gray full seasons at $969 a pop. Though, dropping a couple grand on that pair would have most likely resulted in me getting divorced.

[tfcja]

Mark: Not sure about that...

Patrick: Funny... my appointment was before yours and I was told that there were no partial pack pairs left (I asked specifically for those).

[Patrick Srayze]

TFCJA - I was wondering about that. What I was offered seems to contradict what you and Heather were told. Strange....

I wonder if each rep has access to a different lot of tickets?

[SuperTCP]

Does this mean that you lose your place on the Gold List by not purchasing something this season?

I did not purchase last year and did not lose my Gold List status. Should work the same this year.

[robert32]

has anyone received their invoice yet?

[heather]

Yea that's weird... Argh!

TCP-IP: I thought you had to keep buying to keep your spot on the waiting list.. grumble grumble..

[dupont]

My brother and I picked up season tickets in the very top row of 106! This is really pleasing to jump straight from shitty Marlies packs to season tickets. It works out to a bit more money than we paid last year but we get every game and are now on the platinum list and will try every year to relocate to cheaper seats.

:scarf:

[Pookie]

As of 2:40

They had:

- pairs of Dark Grey Seasons available in sections 222 and 224
- singles and 3's in the Reds, no pairs
- Clubs and Field size tables
- some partial packs available, only a couple of seats left in 111, mostly in 104 and 105 if you are looking for cheap seats
- all kinds of Marlies packs... just in case you like that sort of thing

[Rudy]

My appt is not till Friday, and from the sounds of it, all will left is singles and Marlies!!! Can someone explain to me how it's beneficial to buy a single ST seat, and how this will help next?
Last year I got stuck with the marlies pack just to get on the gold list. I was really hoping for ST's or at least partial, but doesn't seem like they will last till Friday!!

[Pookie]

If you get a single ST, you get on the platinum list which means you can likely pick up another ST next year and/or relocate.

Not sure if that is a benefit if you usually go to the game with someone. You still have to find another ticket for them.

I opted just for a Partial in 111. I was prepared to pay for STs in dark grey or red but we had seats in 221 before and anyone who has been up there knows that the bugs can be an annoyance for most of the game. Reds only came in sets of 3 or 1s.

My wager is that I'll move up by 150-200 places on the gold list next year AND that new North stand might open up. Therefore, to pay extra to be somewhere I didn't want to be for the chance at a relocation didn't make sense if I think I'll have a larger selection of STs next year.

Personal call though depending on your circumstances.

You could be waiting longer according to my account rep. I asked him about the North stands and he told me that they will not be used for season seat sales. When I asked if they were going to sell them as walk ups only, he replied by telling me that all the details haven't been ironed out yet, but insisted that they will very likely NOT be available to season seat holders. Maybe he was pushing a sale.......I bought! Section 109 row 32 seats 24and 25. I'm happy with that and will likely get to relocate to where I want to be next season so.....

I don't think he was pushing a sale.

The plan for 2010 is to open these up to Red Listers as much as possible. They have a ton of folks on that list who have never been to a game. I think they will have to pay for that along the lines of buying some type of "membership" to get front of the line access.

In 2011, the feedback I get is that the seats (or a portion thereof) will become part of the ST/Partial Pack offerings available to their Platinum, Gold and Red listers. This will enable more folks to move off the gold list, ensure guaranteed revenue and move some of the red listers into partial packs.

[Yagbod]

I think am screwed. Does anyone have an expectation that anything but Marlies packs will be available on Monday? I spent a fortune last year on tickets for me and friends. I am super bummed at the thought of buying 6 Marlies packs this year.... sorry for whining...

[torontocelt]

I think there will still be ST but in red or club, no partial packs other than marlies and an outside chance at a grey ST but I have no foundation for any of my guess work.

[cmonyoureds]

i had a shot at season's but at 969 a pop couldn't do it. i think part of availability is dependant on how many seats you have. MLSE won't break a 3 to sell 2 and leave a 1.
also my rep said there was a 94% renewal rate this year. anyone else confirmed that?
it seems like a lot of people are passing on marlies for a third year. especially given most of those packages aren't even in a "supporter" section. i.e. lower 110. i know i was in that position myself, not willing to recycle marlies tickets again this year upon delivery. with some ticket availability increasing it seems like some of the steam is coming out of the much talked about waiting list.
to jack the hype back up i'd think they need to increase the supporter section again and possibly looking at pricing.

[Rudy]

Any news on availability today? Did anyone have their appt today?

[lips]

My appointment is at 1:00 I hope there is some ST left I’m willing to spend 1000.00 per seat to get my foot in the door.

[Rudy]

Let us know how it goes man....

[lips]

Only singles for season in L grey M grey D grey. And three together in the reds lot of fields, lots of all season sports packs. I ended up with two dark grey seasons’ singles sec.223 row 17 seats 13, 16
I’m a season ticket holder now baby. :party:

[BuSaPuNk]

Wow still singles in light and medium grey? It's looking pretty good for me on Monday.

congrarts. how will you end up relocating these to pair? is it easy?

[Yeoman]

heck sounds like even i'll get a single tomorrow
woot!
don't care when, just so long as it's not stupid expensive!
i'm getting the call while i'm in canadian tire tomorrow at 340 pm.
come on ticket!

[lips]

congrarts. how will you end up relocating these to pair? is it easy?
Don’t know how that works but I will try to get to the south end for 2011 not sure if that will happen:noidea:

[SuperTCP]

Wow still singles in light and medium grey? It's looking pretty good for me on Monday.

I wish there was still singles in light and medium.

I just had my call @ 4pm today - here is the scoop:

Seasons (pairs) - Only Field Side Seats
Season (singles) - only 5 dark grey left

Partial Packs - Dark grey and up available

TFC+Marlies packs - All sections available

[SuperTCP]

If anyone is honestley offered anything other then what I just posted (after 4pm today) let me know because I will be f-ing pissed as they gave me their word that there were no singles left in Light or Medium Grey, and no pairs in Dark grey.

Thanks

[4evared]

My call was at 4:30. I was told the same as you. I picked up a single season ticket in 121 and the home opener sports package (fucking Marlies again) in the top of 111. I feel slightly used and abused in having to take a single season ticket, but, I am have now been promoted off the gold list, so the pain will soon go away.
My rep says that there are still roughly 100 singles throughout the stadium but all in dark grey and above. There are pairs in the field seats still.

[Smokecell]

has anyone clarified what happens forsure if you decline to buy anything? I can't fathom shelling out 969 or whatever for a ticket and i refuse to bend over and take it with the marlies pack, my call is at 1140 tomorrow

[4evared]

^ I am not sure what happens if you decline completely but there were still partial packs available (without the Marlies) in the dark greys

[Yagbod]

2 questions of people who have had their calls.

1. How long did your call take? Were you rushed to make a decision?

2. Do you have to pay on the spot? Or are there payment plans and the like?

Ok, four questions.

I have a feeling that this could be expensive, by the time Monday rolls around.

I was not rushed, I was even put on hold will he went and asked a question for me

I'm with you brother. To have to buy the Marlies pack again is a bendover:hump:. I'll be happy if I get my single today.

[Globetrotter]

Why do people have to settle on Marlies? Can you not pick up 5-6 games off people on this site? I know I'll have some tix available next year. I don't scalp them, but i might round up to the nearest 5 or 10 per pair.

[Gixmo]

Hmm, Monday could be dicey

I'm looking for 2, but would take 1 as my seat mate has picked up one from a peer.. So I guess we'll see and if push comes to shove, It's pick up off the RPB board.. Not really worried... Partial packs (Non Marlies) would be fine too really, just a bit more then I want.

I might have to spring for the Marlies pack just to have access to the ticket exchange. I'm currently on the Red List.

[Globetrotter]

I might have to spring for the Marlies pack just to have access to the ticket exchange. I'm currently on the Red List.

Is that any good? For the buyer? For the seller? I've never used it for TFC, only for football.

[phonzo]

Ticket Exchange was well worth it for me this year - I had a marlies pack yet still made almost every game. As a buyer you are purchasing for face value..as a seller you lose a small percentage of the face value of the ticket.

Personally I thought it was well worth it.

bought pair of dark grey seasons
will be selling atleast 8 games + friendlies
atleast this way we were able to get our foot in the door, and we can move next year to cheaper seats.

[Mark in Ottawa]

I might have to spring for the Marlies pack just to have access to the ticket exchange. I'm currently on the Red List.
This was one of the reasons I agreed to get abused and took a Marlies pack last year. It put me on the Gold list and game me access to the account manager/ticket exchange.

I did the same thing last year and this year I got into medium greys and saved $600 so I don't have to sell very many at all to make it affordable for me. My work/life schedule always makes it impossible for me to attend at least a couple games a year anyways so works out for me.

[stugautz]

Got my pre-email from TFC! Details to follow next week. They anticipate almost 300 graduated to full season packages this year. Expected onsale late next week.

When was you appointment?

[Sally Mack]

^^ 10 char

Dec 9 @ 9:30 am. They better still have seasons.

[dupont]

I did the same thing last year and this year I got into medium greys and saved $600

That is great news! This is exactly what I am planning to do and why I picked up the dark grey pair this week. I'm hoping to at least get to mediums for next season and then who knows?

[phonzo]

I have a friend with a call this afternoon I'll post an update then...

[Dudebroguy]

My appointment is for 4:40. Not holding my breath for much.

[tfc2007]

When was you appointment?

yesterday around 10
my dad spoke to them, not me. but i know it was early in the day.

[Carts]

I have a friend with a call this afternoon I'll post an update then...

You have a friend...???

Carts... :D

[phonzo]

just one brah just one

[TFC11]

I had my call at 11:50 this morning and was able to get two dark grey partial package w/o marlies. full season only field seats and everything for the all season. was told that around 400 moved on to full season so everyone moves up 400 spots on the gold list.

Just glad not to get stuck and take it for the all seasons!

[loconet]

Just got off the phone.

They had seasons on field side (way too much for me) and TFC partial packs in dark grays at $354/each (222,223,224).

All-sport bspack (Marlies) are all over, lots of light gray.. 104,105,219,220,227

[SuperTCP]

why sell someone 3 partial packs for the season - just sell us the seasons!!!!

[TFC11]

I know my account person offered me all 3 partial packages two seats each -which would make a complete season like you said it would be easier to just sell the partials as seasons.

[Fort York Redcoat]

Dark. Gray. Season.

Does anyone have a spare pair of pants.

I did it again.

[Dudebroguy]

This is confusing. Do reps have different tickets they are able to offer or whatever is available?

[Fort York Redcoat]

Mine was single. It also sounded pretty live so when my guy snagged it was like a new search. I imagine other reps snagging seats that come up people then discarding after a decision is made.

Example-

(some other ticket buyer)- "I'll take 2 seasons"
rep- That'll be $xxxxx.
"That's pretty steep. Maybe I'll just take the one"

then the other remaining goes back in the pool when the call has ended.

Anyway, don't hate me because I'm lucky. Hate me because I'm beautiful.

BTW wicked handle there Dudebroguy.

[Sally Mack]

Dark. Gray. Season.

Sounds like you got the last dark grey single.

I ended up getting a couple partial packs. 3 seats in 219 row 8, and 2 in 110 row 9. I fell victim to the hostage marlies pack again because I liked 110 so much last year. Hoping the supporters section will spill down in 110 like it did last year.

Looks like all thats left are red single seasons, and field seats.

For partial packs, there are some carlsberg cup packs in 104/105, and dark grey partials for all game packages (222-224).

For ransom packs, there's a good assortment. Shouldnt have a problem getting a pair in the light or medium grays. If you want in a supporters section, you can get into upper half of 110 this way.

Out of curiosity, in 110, are seats 29-30 closer to 111, or 109? :D

[zhiv9]

Anyone know when the earliest and latest appointments are? I'm 9:45am Monday. Hopefully there are still some dark gray partials left. Not crazy about 200's section, but would still rather have those than have to pay for a marlies load.

[Dudebroguy]

Yeah that makes sense, thanks Fort York. Here's hoping some partial packs are left at 4:40.

[Canada72]

Yeah i think the can hold/release tickets during the call. It seemed like that anyways.

well, atleast the view is better there, and its an aisle seat.

Truthfully... those seats up there are the driest in the house (both figuratively and literally). You're covered by the roof, but boy is it quiet. I paid the same amount for a ransom pack in 110 rather than the strictly TFC pack up there. For a rowdy drunk such as myself, its worth it :).

[sarsippius]

Just got my call - they're almost gone, so I took what I could get. 222, Very back, below the players box. Quiet, yes, but out of the sun and rain. They said the only seasons left are now the Reds at $2,000.00 per, and they're generally not together.

[Pookie]

Out of curiosity, in 110, are seats 29-30 closer to 111, or 109? :D

You've got bad information.

29-30 are closer to 111. The numbers read from left to right... sort of like words do :)

We had 110, row 11 seats 25-26 last year on a partial pack. They were right by Wayne at the entrance to sections 110 and 111.

I bought additional seats in 110 and 111 quite a bit on the exchange and the atmosphere varies. On the dates for our partial, we could stand in row 11 and there were no issues.

On other dates, it was an issue. The lower we got in that section the more obvious the expectation to sit.

You are going to love the ability to get out of there quick for concessions, washrooms and at the end of the game.

[Canada72]

Sally Mack - "Out of curiosity, in 110, are seats 29-30 closer to 111, or 109?"

Closer to 109


oops sorry, Just checked my tickets stubs, closer to 111

[Gixmo]

You're close to 111

Sounds like Marlie's rape for me on a single package and then see what happens next year.. At least I can get off dates via the Ticket XChange

I'm Monday PM.. So we'll see what happens..

[Globetrotter]

I know my account person offered me all 3 partial packages two seats each -which would make a complete season like you said it would be easier to just sell the partials as seasons.

I disagree.

As a platinum and gold lister, I'm glad they keep them separate. I didn't have to buy all three partials, but did because they were seats I was eyeballing when doing the season seat swaps.

If they made them into seasons, they wouldn't get released for next season... simple as that. You have to keep some open for others, and not have them all as seasons.

I think it's great that they have so many partial packs, and in decent or affordable locations. I once had partials in section 126 in row 3, last year I had partial in section 111, next it will be a different section.

---the seats i picked up from the gold list, the 3 partials packs in same seats/section for the full year would NOT have been available come my gold appointment list. I doubt they would have even been around when I was on my platinum call for additional seats.

[Pookie]

^ Agreed.

Lots of reasons from a business standpoint to keep partial packs.

1. 3 different people use that seat over the year. That means 3 different folks walk by the merchandise tents. How many jerseys can one fan buy? 3 could potentially buy 3.

2. Lower cost for the consumer but higher yield for the company. Dark Grey season is $969. The equivalent in Dark Grey Partial Packs (3 packs) is $1,113

3. Creates "scarcity" on season tickets. How many bought dark greys just to get seasons?

... personally, I like that there is the partial pack option. I skipped on seasons because the only available seats (during my appointment) were in bug country (top of 222 and 224). Instead, I got seats in 111... where I can stand and bring flags and get access to the exchange. Never missed a game last year (or the year before) and don't intend to miss any this year... even on a partial pack.

[TFC HSV]

got an email about it. I see they're forcing marlies games on us again. I like the marlies and all, I go to games. That being said forcing marlies tickets raised the price last year outta my price range. I was hoping that'd change, then I remembered its MLSE.

[Dudebroguy]

My appointment was 4:40...

One single seasons left in the reds
Lots of Field Level seats seasons

I ended up with a pair in 222 (dark grays) Carlsberg Cup (mid season) and end game packages. Pretty stoked about not having to get Marlie packs again this year. My rep said I got the two last partial packs, so take that for what it's worth.

LOTS of Marlie packs available for all three packages.

I imagine they will be available for a while. If I remember correctly, the club went through the entire red waiting list when trying to sell Marlies packs last year. I get the sense that a lot of people would rather try their luck at the gate or with scalpers than be forced to buy Marlies tickets.

Good work, Redcoat. It sounds like the single season ticket route is paying off.

[Gixmo]

You know what I don't understand though..

Given that the Marlies tickets are the 'bad' here, You can still get 6 games for a buck more really, in a light grey section (compared to Partial in dark grey at 354)

So what's the big deal? Just that you are getting the Marlies tickets absorbed into the cost.. I can see that.

I guess we'll see come Monday, but worst case scenario, I moved up some 400 spots which is a positive considering expansion, etc next year. At least I'm there, and have a spot all year long (Well, to take 1 partial pack that is)

As long as I keep my TicketExchange, Im happy.

[Yeoman]

apparently at 4 i had the last single avaiable in 222 i think it was
well turns out you need a credit card
fuck
well i'm out of luck for seasons this year i think :(

Next year.. Expansion, and rapid movement off the list..

Now get a damn visa yo!

[Yeoman]

i had one
i canceled it because me + visa = stupid
so i guess i'm sucking up to people back home about letting me use their visa so i can get charged to it in order to send a cheque (not sure why i can not just send one, but rules are rules)

[Rudy]

Can someone explain to me the issue with bugs probem in section 222, 223, 224?
I almost bought seats there... Thx

[Rudy]

Had my appt earlier today, and here's the status:
All TFC partials are gone.
Only Field Seasons available
Lots of Marlies packs.

I've been on waiting list for a few years, and I was really hoping that being on Gold list would have given me a chance at Seasons.
I had to bite the bullet and buy Field Seats to get moved to Platinum list. I will try to sell some/most of these to help with the cost, but it seemed today that this was the only way to get season tix in the next few yrs.

Hoping now that seat relocation will get me cheaper seats next year. Anyone tried this approach or has advice?

[uncle p]

I ended up grabing two partial packs w/Marlies tix. The Rep i dealt with was pretty cool tho, so instead of giving me two tickets to twelve Marlie games he gave me four tickets to six games....Bash the Marlies all you want, its still a pretty decent night out if your with the boys!!

[Darlofletch]

Can someone explain to me the issue with bugs probem in section 222, 223, 224?

I had seats at the top of 224 and aside from the price loved it. There was one game when there were a lot of bugs flying around, but only one that I can remember. A small price to pay for many afternoons of shade and shelter.

[rocker]

bugs were everywhere in some early games this season and last season.. i sit 12 rows from the pitch, lower west side, and they were there at a couple games over the years!

[Pookie]

We had seats in 221 and games in May were particularly uncomfortable.

The bugs didn't bite just flew up your nose, in your ear and in your eyes. Bring hoodie.

[Jitter]

Forgive me for changing the topic here :)

I picked up a single seat in 109 this year and I'm just wondering how difficult it will be to change to a pair in the mid/light grey range for the 2011 season?

[Rudy]

That was one of my options, but I heard it maybe very hard for you to pick up another seat. You would have had to buy two single seats, in order to be able to relocate both next year.

I opted for buying a pair of field seats... Hoping to relocate them to cheaper pair next year.

Can anyone shed some light on these strategies?

[shawn6597]

so if i have an appointment tmrw at 945, have I any shot at a ransom pack in 111? or are marlies packs just for 104 and elsewhere?

[Erkan16]

had my apt a few mins ago.

picked up an all sports pack in section 110 and marlies seats center row 3. it worked out well for me because my cousin loves the leafs/marlies so there is one xmas gift off my list and i was able to move away from dreadful 104 to the greatness of 110. i paid $100 more, but it was worth it for me to get what i got. overall i am overly pleased with the outcome compared to last year.

[phonzo]

hey don't diss the awesomeness of 104...oh wait.. :)

mines this afternoon i'm hoping to make zee shift to 110

Just curious as to what season's they have available if any....my buddy here at work has his appointment today or tomorrow....and is wondering.

For Season's, they only have field seats...

[lips]

A friend of mine has his appointment today at 4:00

[Ageroo]

For Season's, they only have field seats...

Looks like no season's for him.....thanks

[Mark in Ottawa]

I have paid the ransom... again :(
Given the choice of a dark grey no ransom pack F for $405. or a ransom pack B in the light greys for $355.... well it was a no brainer.

Especially since the ransom pack was in the south end!
Time to change my signature to Section 111, Row 30, Seat 11.

I could have two ransom packs but can't justify the cost given the cost of travelling that I incur each game I attend.
By Plane, Train or Car... no game is to far.
But we gotta watch those pennies.

Answer to a few FAQ...
Q: If I don't buy when on the Gold List what happens to my standing on the list?
A: I was told you would stay on the gold list but most likely get dropped to the bottom of it behind people who are buying.

Q: Can Marlie Tickets be returned for credit &/or resale like TFC tickets can?
A: No can do. The demand is simply not there hence the ransom pack scheme. The suggestion is that if you are not going to use the tickets contact a charitable organization (Big Brothers was mentioned... kinda ironic say what :rolleyes:) and in some cases the charities may issue a tax receipt for some amount as a thank you.

Q: When can I expect my tickets and when do the Marlie games start?
A: Marlie tickets should arrive within a few days. First game is Jan. 24th, 2010.

Q: As a partial pack holder I got little "love" from the club... no swag, no freebies... is this gonna change?
A: No. But we do appreciate your business.

[Yeoman]

that's kind of bs
i guess that seniority thing means thing when not buying huh
well not once did i see anything anywhere that stated i must have a credit card in order to purchase seasons.
that is pretty upsetting in my mind. attempting to hold back on the freaking out.
not impressed at all.
