MLS 2010 Cup

[tfc2007]

Looks like we officially have it...
What do you think the ticket price range will be?

Are you going to go? Why or Why not?

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

Looks like we officially have it...
What do you think the ticket price range will be?

With TFC most likely not making the final......i would assume the tickets will be priced FAIRLY!

[moralis]

Question for Paul Beirne:

Do you know if TFC season ticket holders will get first crack at MLS Cup tickets? How will it work out?

[Vinny Dichio]

Did anyone see CP24's Nathan Downer interview Boris outside of the ACC?!?!
Pretty awesome!!!

[rocker]

i'll be there. wouldn't miss it...!

i loved the allstar game experience.

even if you think "i wouldn't go unless TFC is in it" you still have to buy the tickets just in case... they'll go on sale way before the playoffs i'm sure and sell out easily.

[ParadymeTFC]

I will.

It seems like there is a lot of people trying to bring soccer further into the lime light in Toronto and if the weekend is as big of an event as they say it will be I will gladly support it.

[flatpicker]

I wonder, would they only go on sale to season ticket holders only?
And then hold back singles seat sales (including North End) so that fans of the teams in the final can get seats?

Regardless, I will go... with or without Toronto.

Information regarding ticket sales for MLS Cup 2010 will be announced at a later date, but Toronto FC season ticket holders will have priority.

ap press release on tfc website.

I'm in (unless ridiculously priced), and seriously debating taking the thursday and friday off work for the full 4 day experience.

Who will you cheer for? Columbus? Seattle? Galaxy?
Will you stand and applaud when Hejduk raises the cup? Way to go Frankie!
Get all excited with Landycakes scores?
How about if the NYRB are in the final and the ESC show up and start chanting This is our house...will you enjoy that experience?

I can understand going to an all star game...it's a non compettive exhibition, however I can't wrap my head around going to a competitive event at whats supposed to be our house...and watching other teams.

[Oldtimer]

I'll buy it because we'll be in the final!

:flare::flare::flare::flare::flare:

[Oldtimer]

$58 for the south end, rumoured on U-Sector.

If people can't enjoy watching the game if TFC isn't playing then I feel sorry them, because they have had to enjoy some terrible playing up to this point.

[flatpicker]

That's a pretty specific rumour.

Well then don't buy the tickets. Nobody is forcing you.
Nobody said you have to "cheer" on anybody. You can watch a good game of soccer, right?
But personally, I wouldn't cheer on Frankie Heyduk. I'd be booing the shit out of him.
If you don't like to cheer, do you like to boo? ;)

I went to the U-20 games World Cup games that didn't involve Canada at the "NATIONAL SOCCER STADIUM" and quite enjoyed myself.

[Miko]

Im in.

Would you skip a Superbowl becuase your team wasn't in it?

[flatpicker]

Would you pass on an orgy because your wife wasn't in it?

A good time is a good time... just go and enjoy yourself.

[Don Julio]

Price notwithstanding, maybe you don't actually like football if you wouldn't want to go to this game..

If I can enjoy watching a mid-season Stoke/Hull game I can't imagine why I wouldn't want to see Chicago vs. Seattle for the Cup.

[canadian_bhoy]

Seattle got theirs in their season ticket pack.
When we had the all-star game, I believe there was a $20 extra charge that you could opt out of.
Would be nice to see the same sort of thing here (season seat holder special price), but I have a feeling it's not going to happen.

If it's $58 for the south end and TFC isn't in it, there may be a few empty seats.

I'll just enjoy watching a game of (hopefully) quality football.

sometimes you can just enjoy something for what it is.
No one needs to 'cheer' on a rival team.


let's not take this thread in that direction.

[Kevvv]

If it's $58 for the south end and TFC isn't in it, there may be a few empty seats.

If one of the teams is within driving distance, they SHOULD be able to sell out. But the supporters would also need passports, which isn't a given.

Essactly. You don't have to like one of the teams as long as you hate one more than another :cool:

[nascarguy]

how much are the tickets

[Parkdale]

for you..... one million dollars!

let's not take this thread in that direction.

As a season ticket holder it looks like I'll have a pre-sale op...so going to this game is a possibility.

My gut reaction is "no way in hell", however I'm mostly open to being convinced. So I posted my post, not to take a thread in a certain direction, but (and in hindsight it was probably a stupid idea considering....) in the hope someone might be able to put forward what I might consider a reasonable case for me changing my mind.

Not "if you don't go you don't like football" or "you're dumb" or "would you go to a superbowl?"

Like I said...I realized after I posted that this is probably the wrong place for a question like that which is why I decided not to reply to those posts. I am replying to yours to clear up the misconception (which I'll assume is innocent) that I have some alterior motive.

[Parkdale]

:topic:

Will I be going to the game? Heck Yes.

why? because I'm a fan of the sport, and the chance to see a quality match at BMO, that isn't just a friendly exhibition, is a great thing.

[rocker]

Seattle fans seemed to have no problem with the MLS Cup setup last year, even though the Sounders were not in the game. For them it seemed more about showing off their fanaticism than "cheering on" a side over another.

[bones]

Since I haven't missed a MLS Cup Final since TFC came into the league, damn right I'll be going to this one. It won't have that same mini sports vacation feeling like going away and trying to pack in as many different sports events over the weekend as possible, but it will be good.

I think one of the issues will be planning/hosting the supports summit. Our supporters groups have a difficult time choosing a bar to watch an away game together let alone working together to host something like this.

Bones...

[Parkdale]

I don't think it will be much of an issue. People will (hopefully) put differences aside.

We should just book For Your Eyes Only in advance, you know, for the out of towners.

I'm happy that the sane, reasonable, and mature side of our supporter's group is represented here.... and almo and roogsy.

;) :D

[canadian_bhoy]

If TFC don't make it to the final, I wouldn't mind switching my tix to the east or west stands. It's the biggest soccer championship in Canada/US so will definitely be something to see.

I hope we're there, but either way I'd like to go, see who wins the cup and see actually see a team lift a championship trophy in Toronto!

[Parkdale]

It's the biggest soccer championship in Canada/US so will definitely be something to see.


totally. and I think that more people will be following the rest of the league this year.
Instead of just knowing where TFC is, and a few team near us, I expect people will be paying
very close attention to the entire standings.

[T-Bird]

Did anyone see CP24's Nathan Downer interview Boris outside of the ACC?!?!

Ya he interviewed Connie too! Very exciting! They did a good job!

Question for Paul Beirne:

Do you know if TFC season ticket holders will get first crack at MLS Cup tickets? How will it work out?

I'm wondering that too.
If season ticket holders get a first crack at tickets would the gold or red lists even get a sniff? I'm sure quite a few tickets would be reserved for the actual teams in the final, plus all the "dignitaries".
I wonder what they did last year. :)

Edit: And yes if I get a chance to buy a ticket I will go.

[Bloor West FC]

Season ticket holders will get first crack at seats.

from mlsnet.com

"While it was confirmed that Toronto FC season ticket holders would have priority on MLS Cup tickets, the league said it will release ticket information at a later date."

[Red Rat]

does that worry you?



nope bring it on, imagine LA against Kansas. hahahahaa
this aint Kansas Dorothy

In other news - the club is now selling stink fingers

http://i42.tinypic.com/e88wh0.jpg

[Fort York Redcoat]

I'm of the mind that unless my team is in it i have little interest in it. That said, I will buy a walk up ticket day of if it's not sold out because i wouldn't want empty seats to reflect badly on my city.

Remember in Toronto if you don't buy a ticket the scalpers will!!

[ilikemusic]

Not all that interested in going.

I would be much more enthused if our team were giving us any reason for optimism.

[Bloor West FC]

I have gone to an mls cup match before and had ton's of fun, if you choose not to go I will assure you your missing a great time.

[tfcleeds]

I'd go, and just sing my heart out for my team for the whole 90 mins., and try to drown out the fans of the respective teams who are involved.

Great news for the best supporters in the MLS. I loved the All-Star game so I will probably buy tickets for the MLS Cup final as well. It also seems we have some celebrities in our midst. Good stuff!

[Gazza_55]

If it's $58 for the south end and TFC isn't in it, there may be a few empty seats.

I heard that the Toronto may be one of the sites for the Man United tour so if we have to pay for that match and the MLS Cup Final when last year Seattle got Barca, Chelsea, and the MLS Cup Final included in their season ticket package ....... well that would be disappointing. I realize their stadium is bigger but at some point doesn't MLSE have to throw us a bone?

[dupont]

I watch the MLS cup every year so I would definitely go to this game. I think I'm slowly becoming a fan of this league despite all the problems.

[cementhead]

Been to three MLS CUPS and they where all great DC,LA, Seattle.Support form these teams welcome us with open arm and lots of beer so I would hope we would do the same for them!

[tfc2007]

I am going because I am a fan of soccer. Who wouldnt want to go to a sporting event final? regardless of the teams involved.

Not sure how that will work here, other than the Carlsburg® Beer Garden, brought to you by Samsung®.

[James Oliphant]

RooneyRPB is about to be on Global News. 2 minutes or so.

[james]

I would go no matter what if Toronto made the finals, all tho it looks like that will never happen ( but its very early in the season so you never know). But if the tickets are very exspensive and TFC werent in the final i might sell my ticekt to someone else. If the ticket price isnt to bad then ya id go to the game even if TFC werent in the final.

[trane]

As I have posted in other places, I do not care for the MLS Cup unless TFC is in it. BUT I feel that I have to ensure that the stadium is sold out for the good of the game, If we do not sell out there will be too much negative press.

[ensco]

This game has to have the mother of all "Mo Must Go" tifos, if we miss the playoffs and Mo is still here, doesn't it?

[Davenport]

Fair comment.
A bit like someone having a party at your house, but you can only watch through the window.
I'd go if TFC were in it.
If not, no way.

[TFCtoMUFC]

Exactly, if we aren't in the final and the season is a trainwreck, this would be the best time to stage a Mo Must Go moment.

[torontocelt]

Do people think that if you are a season ticket holder then you will be guaranteed your seat if you want it?

[clc12]

i know its a long shot but if we make the finals it would be awesome to see the entire south end singin "We built the house on lakeshore for the reds - the reds" haha.

you know mls wants us in that final. we will put that final on the map guaranteed.

[Dave67]

Who will you cheer for? Columbus? Seattle? Galaxy?


I will have no problem cheering for Toronto.
If we don't make it - I'll go as a fan of the game and not a TFC supporter BUT
I will have no problem cheering for whoever plays against Kolumbus
If Kolumbus don't make it
I will have no problem cheering for whoever plays against LA
If LA don't make it
I'll just go and hope for a good game and applaud good plays on both sides.

[jazzy]

Boris is on CP24 live now..LeDrew Live, with Paul B.

[jazzy]

Do people think that if you are a season ticket holder then you will be guaranteed your seat if you want it?

With logistics I don't see how, every team will be allotted a certain number of tickets, maybe if tickets sales are slow. on the rebound, they would be released? ...I guess we can always hope.

There are only 16,000+ season ticket holders at BMO?
So if STH purchased the option on their seats, that would still leave 5,500-ish seats available to away support for finalists.
I don't see a problem.

Think they may have made a mistake with an 8:30pm kick off. That sounds like a recipe for disaster.

I feel sorry for the players. At least the fans can bundle up.

[Bloor West FC]

The grass has a heat system I wonder if its powerful so the players can get some heat. Hmmmm maybe we near the field will have heat as well :).

tickets WILL be offered to season holders first.
There will be more info coming out shortly but if i were a guessing man, they will be offered up at renewal time with next years package

No way, that is way too late.

They will sell them in the next few days (weeks) while there is still some positive vibes about the announcement. Imagine if our season is in the tanks and tickets go on sale in October?

Plus it allows them months to sell the game out (although we will probably sell it out in hours, that is our history).

Valid point. Renewals happen in September if I recall?? (not sure) So I think you might be right that they would want to put them on sale before that.

[menefreghista]

Ticket sellers (sports teams and music concert people alike) love having their money in hand months in advance.

It would be unheard of to make a big announcement about an event but wait months to put it on sale.

Take a look at the poll. Sure this is site is a small collection of the hardcore, but if the same percentage of season seat holders buy into the MLS Cup, the organizers will be laughing.

By the way, any ideas on cost?

I think Boris is using MLSE's history of tying the sale of one thing to another. It would not unheard of for MLSE to "include" the MLS Cup game in another purchase.

Maybe they tie it to the purchase of playoff tickets? (If TFC does not make the playoffs that $$ get credited to your season seat purchase) - just thinking out load here.

[stugautz]

I'm buying a pair of seats. Doesn't matter if TFC is in the game or not, this is the MLS cup, which is the pinnacle of success for our league.

I'm only a gold lister, so I'm hoping I get an opportunity to purchase at least.

[ensco]

The much more interesting question is, what will the market bear for this game?

It's obviously a premium event but there's a real risk that you are going to see Columbus vs Chivas, in the bitter cold, late at night. Might be something I'd rather see sipping an armagnac by the fire.

Whether I take the seats or not is 100% a function of price.

I may go, but I guess sometimes I wonder what the people who push these things really are thinking.

They're looking for a Super Bowl, or even Grey Cup event. Remember, last year's Grey Cup got five million Canadian TV viewers.

This year's Grey Cup is outdoors in Edmonton a week later.

For the crowd it's the same thing, but for the players, wow.

I doubt that the tickets for the cup final will be even remotely colse to last years Seattle offerings...that's pretty sad. Supply and Demand...yada yada I know...

A cup final is a cup final, I'll be going for sure, regardless of who is playing. there's a pretty good chance I'll be booing the crap out of side more than the other.

Can you imagine three or four clownumbus supporters being allocated tickets in the middle of a TFC regulars section? ML$E needs a game plan on how to accomodate other teams supporters groups in clusters rather than spread out. I know BMO only has a small core of wanna-be hoolies, but no one wants to see them fuck this up for the club.

Theres gonna have to be some section shuffling.

MLS sold lifetime rights to first crack at MLS Cup and Allstar game tickets. I think it was $500 for those rights. My guess is successful scalpers bought those rights. Though.... I would imagine only Seattle and Toronto have scalpers at MLS games. I did the google search for it, but its on the old mlsnet.com site, which did not port that file to the new mlssoccer site.

Question is how many of those "rights" have been sold... and they were selling that thing year after year in all markets. So it can't be a small number.

I definitely want to go to this game - regardless of who is playing. It's the championship game for our league, and what luxury that we're able to see the game live.

I voted no. But only because I can't afford a trip to Brazil and the MLS Cup within 2 weeks of each other.

Would TFC in the final change your mind...;)
