Due to disruptions caused by the G20 in Toronto, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE) and Toronto FC will be offering ticket holders who were unable to attend the June 26 match vs. Los Angeles Galaxy at BMO Field an opportunity to attend another Toronto FC match this season (game subject to availability).

“We made a decision to hold this game based on the security information we were receiving and given the location of BMO Field,” said Bob Hunter, MLSE executive vice president of venues & entertainment. “With the Galaxy and officials all in the city, there was never any thought given to cancelling the game, but due to unforeseen circumstances that had a major impact on the City of Toronto and forced many to stay home, we felt it was important to make this gesture to our fans who were adversely affected by events today.”

All ticket holders who were unable to attend Saturday’s match should expect communication from the Club.

True.

Maybe it would have been easy to get tickets at a discount, but I bought my full allotment anyways. This game is huge.

So I just got an email and will be compensated for the game by a game I already have tickets for. What a load of shit - the FO were told to reschedule the game and they stupidly refused, so we should then be refunded and they can take the financial hit and learn a lesson.

Well I disagree but that's fine. I believe the whole fiasco was clearly forseeable - why did the Jays leave town? I realize they were closer to the security zone, but if transit is disrupted then a lot of people for TFC can't get to BMO. Better than nothing I guess.

I would call your account rep and complain. They might give you a discount that way. Most likely a credit to your next seasons season tickets though. MLSE doesn't like to give money back.

I received 2 'free' tickets in 117 to the Motagua game.

I completely agree, the go train was cancelled and people who made the game had to scramble to try and get down there to watch a complete farse of a match.. this game should have been re-schedule, but ML$E claimed it was too hard to move. Funny that when they could line thier pockets with money for the Real Madrid game last year, it wasnt a problem at all.

I'm SO sick of these asswipes, they dont give a shit about their fans...

and this is the ONLY way ML$E will learn to stop screwing their fans, but
unfortunately not many will take this action. I for one am joining you in this stance, as i have had it with them as well. To have Paul come out last year harping that season tickets only went up a $1 a game is a slap in my face, does he think I'm stupid? we got the CL qualifier included last year, so it's NOT a $1 a game it's alot more if you actually bought the CL game this year.

We'll see how many people are actually on this 14,000 waiting list that they claim to have.. personally i think that number is way off just look how the CL game is NOT selling..

You only get the "extra" tickets if your Galaxy game tickets were not scanned in at the stadium. Considering the attendance was close to 19,000 they would only have about 2000 to refund. Both my accounts don't show the extra tickets as both sets were used.

Agreed. We drove down and got there 3 hours before the match to ensure that we'd see the game.

Curious side bar, for those that "braved" the G20 traffic issues and made this commitment to get there... why in the hell would half the stadium leave the game in 80th minute, tied 0-0 with the league leaders because of warm rain???

The Jays moved because Union Station was at a high risk of being shut down during the summit. Union Station is the hub through which probably 80% of their meagre attendance comes.

TFC didn't move/re-schedule because they were given assurances that only Union Station would be shut down and that Exhibition was far enough outside the red zone that it wouldn't be affected by closures/re-routes. That information changed on Saturday afternoon, despite those previous assurances.

Probably because it was such a hassle to get into the city, they thought it was a perfect time to leave early to avoid more hassle leaving. ps... i stayed until after the game.

This was the first time I've ever driven to a game (always take the go). I come in from the west along lakeshore so it was no problem, however I did get to experience the parking lot situation for the first time. I parked at Ontario place. It doesn't matter how long you've been in your car waiting... the jackass who shows up to his car 30 minutes after you and is parked where you are driving to to get out thinks he has the right to pull out in front and leave before me? What? So we have all been waiting in line patiently and you show up and are all of a sudden VIP? F*ing dipsh*ts.

I stand by what I said. 18 thousand people still attended the match and those people get nothing. They faced the same challenges that the people that didn't attend faced and yet the only reason they get nothing is because they made the effort to show up.

UltraSuperMegaMo
06-29-2010, 02:22 PM
^ I agree with you that anyone who really wanted to go, probably could have found a way. I take the GO from Pickering and decided not to go, but I could have taken a Go Bus to York Mills and made my way to BMO from there, either by TTC or getting a ride.

However, not everyone faced the same challenges. Those who could walk did not face the same challenges as those who had to commute from some distance.

06-29-2010, 02:59 PM

To be honest, this weekend in Toronto - some people didn't have options...

I made it to the game, but only because I live far enough north of all the bullsh*t that I was able to travel around (took a little longer, but it was ok)...

BUT, If someone lives in an apartment right above where the riots were taking place, saying they had an option to walk through the police blockade (when the police made it clear to stay off the streets) to make the match isn't fair...

Saying "...leave earlier..." isn't fair either... I have friends in the area we're talking about, and they said suddenly the rioters were everywhere... They just hunkered down, opened a few bottles of wine and cases of beer and hoped the nutjobs wouldn't storm their front door...

I'm not gonna walk 5 hours each way. I'm not gonna pay $70 in cab fares. That's unreasonable, and since TFC said "take public transit" to the game in their email about the G20, and my transit was shut down completely, there were no other realistic options. GO was shut down from 3pm. Not everyone has a car. Not everyone lives in Toronto.

The people who attended got what they paid for: a game. I didn't get anything for circumstances beyond my control, despite TFC assurances.

Your decision not to walk 5 hours is yours though.

In any decision, you weigh the investment and the benefit. In your mind, going to see LA play TFC on June 26th wasn't worth the investment. That's fine.

I'd wager that if TFC were playing in the MLS Cup final and the only way you'd get there was to walk for 5 hours, you might make that decision to walk. Just as many of us made the decision to drive 10 hours to New England. Or why folks used to camp out overnight for NHL playoff hockey tickets, etc.

You made that decision to miss the game not knowing that you'd be reimbursed for that decision. You simply didn't see the value in going to absurd lengths to see TFC.

For the most part, it wasn't as if the travel issues were secret. If folks were thinking ahead they might have anticipated that they would have difficulty getting to the game. If the hassel of a long walk, expensive taxi ride, overnight hotel at the Sheraton on Lakeshore, or other inconvenience outweighed the desire to see TFC play LA they could have simply sold their tickets in advance.

Again, it comes down to the value of the game vs the investment of your resources. You deemed it not worth it.

I think it's good on the FO for making this gesture but to imply that people were handcuffed without options is simply wrong.

And if you can't walk for 5 hours, you can rent a helicopter and land at Ontario Place and walk from there. Geeeze man, these are YOUR decisions and YOU made them ;)

This thread would be easier to read, if it had been difficult to drive, or take TTC to the game.

Most people are saying the driving was easier than usual. And I found the TTC working very well ... the BD line was quieter than usual, and the Ossington bus to the game was fine; as was the Dufferin bus from what I hear.

Anyone without a vehicle who was in 905, and relies on transit was screwed (and I've heard about an octogenarian for which this was true) ... but it's not like it was that difficult to get to the game (though I hear for those on Dufferin getting home wasn't as smooth ... but there didn't seem to be that bad a line-up for the temporary Bathurst bus going home, and the Ossington bus wasn't even full after the game).

I made the game but was bunkered down in my brothers condo at Wellington and John St for most of what was really a surreal weekend, I completely understand why no one would want to walk into that shitstorm. We just walked along a pretty empty King Street as by then the Police was keeping the mess mostly north of us by then.

I left for the game four days before it started because I knew there would be problems. I only has my ticket on me and a piece of old bread as I thought I could get mugged so I took no money. After day 1 the bread was gone, a bird swooped and stole it from me as I slept inside a plastic bag outside BMO field. I had no more food and starved for three further days, scavenging the bins and competing with wild, rabid dogs for scraps of food from passers by. I drank from puddles and openly urinated myself as I did not want to be arrested for peeing in public. It was all worth it in the end though as I got to see the game, I would do it again if I had to.

I recall reading an article that day that said if you cannot use the tickets and make it to this match give away your tickets to some one who can which i did. The phone call today was to inform me my tickets were scanned at the gate and i wont be getting anything in return. When i told them i could not make it because of the transit issues she just said the same thing because i did what they told me to do give the tickets away to someone who can make it there i am getting jack from them.

Your tickets were used. That is the pertinent fact. How do they know you didn't use your ticket and are just trying to scam them for a freebee?
If they give you a ticket, they set a precedent and everybody who had tickets scanned at the gate are going to go after them for a free ticket.

You're out of luck mate. Bad luck but that's the way it is.

Makes sense to me. Your tickets were used. The point of this gesture was to essentially reimburse people who couldn't make the game due to the fracas downtown, and hence, couldn't use their tickets.

The point wasn't to give people who sold their tickets or gave them away a free game. You situation sucks, but like Blizzard says, your tickets were scanned - you could just as easily be lying to them about not going. They can't just take everyone's word for it.

you had until July 6 to print them or forward them or they disappear and are given to someone else.

From the email:

We have already placed tickets for the match in your Online Account Manager.

p.s im fucked arent iPhone them up tomorrow, ask them why the tickets disappeared, and why you didn't get any e-mails about the tickets.

Perhaps you can get them back if you explain that you never got an e-mail ...

thanks i plan on it. my rep hasnt responded to me in the past re emails so i wouldnt count on this time being any different. and my galaxy tickets were not scanned so its not fair that they take these tickets away.

This is one of the dumber moves by MLSE and TFC's FO...I'm sure that there are a number of pissed off season ticket holders that made his/her way down the stadium. These morons rewarded season ticket holders that found half an excuse not to come.

This is what you get when the jackasses at MLSE run a franchise...hey stupid...stop living off the branding you didn't create because the honeymoon is over!

I was in Portugal...The people I gave my tickets too decided not to show up. Does that count as half an excuse or a full excuse?

I believe that it's all based on if the ticket was scanned or not.

Please tell me, kind sir... I didn't have a car, and my usual transport, the Go Train, which TFC told me to take because parking would be bad down there, was completely shut down from 5 hours before the match.

Is that a half or full excuse?

This board is full of people always judging other season ticket holders...

FYI called my ticket rep and explained the whole situation and im getting 2 tickets added to my account some time next week. So if anyone experienced something similar, id give your rep a call. they had to check for "availability" first though.

I sent an email to my rep a couple of days after the Galaxy game to say that I had to give my tickets to a friend and could not go myself. They called me last week and gave me two extra tix in my section. I guess they are still giving them to people who's tickets were used, and they are desperate to fill up those seats for that game.
