TFC alienating more fans by putting the CCL game on Setanta.

So besides having less than 12,000 at the game, they don't want people watching this game in the comfort of their home.

Ticket sales are down so no wonder it's on Setanta,it's like a blackout in NFL.

Tickets sales a low,no free TV,they want us in the stands.

I didn't buy tickets to the CCL game this time - as a 5 year STH of 6 seats (4 in the East), I was upset with them charging so much for this game. I was hoping for a goodwill gesture of giving the tickets to the STH or a deep discount.

Now, I can't watch the game on TV - this is how you alienate your fans.

Yeah, that's what they are trying to do, I guarantee you the East stands will be empty. I talked to the regulars around my seats and they all said they didn't buy tix to this game.

Great...just great.

Is it maybe undergoing a free preview at he moment, and the game is actually being broadcast in HD?

I think Dalllas had $5 tickets for their qualifier. may have been a limited time only thing, but still, making an effort.

and setanta, just ridiculous, how many regional channels does sportsnet have? as well as sportsnet one. you saying they couldn't have put it on one of them?

Nuvinho
07-24-2011, 07:14 PM
TFC is saying it wasn't up to them, it was Rogers Sportsnet that made the decision to move it to Setanta.

i wasn't going to be able to watch this game anyway don't get any of the channels in the states that show tfc and since this won't be on mls live so i doubt that i would be able to find a stream so i was just planning on not seeing this anyway..

If Rogers didn't want to carry the game, why could it not have been put on GOL?

I am getting bombarded with TFC management on facebook and twitter saying its not their fault....blame sportsnet.

Sportsnet has 5 channels - 1 is showing the Jays game - 4 is showing UFC - if they make 1 show (Sportsnet Ontario) the CCL game, would that hurt? I think it was TFC who said put it on Setanta.

why can't the put the game on GolTV?
they own it.

TFC doesn't own the rights to it, they made a bid for it, but didn't get it.

They did not want to pay $$$$ to Rogers for the TV rights,no?

$15. Any seat in the stadium. Any.

I would hope so but the CONCACAF TV site isn't saying anything at the moment.

wow....fucking WOW!! The one day in many that I have no schedule and will be able to watch the game and I can't. This team...the whole franchise in general never ceases to amaze me. Sportsnet shows loads of Whitecaps games but no TFC games except for the Canadian Championships. My guess would be that Sportsnet wanted to televise some TFC games this year but MLSE said they wanted the majority of the games on GoLTV. Sportsnet said fine...fuck you then we will only televise the NCC and if Vancouver wins we will show the CCL, if TFC win we will bury it over on Setanta. They sure showed MLSE.

Yep, shoulda done this.
This move especially does not make any sense.
Really disappointed.

itll be on concacaf.com for free if you don't mind streaming.

I will gladly tell people where to run streams

yeah, checking back, the $5 thing was just a 24 hour deal a few days ago. $15 regular pricing for anywhere in the stadium is a pretty good deal anyway.

Chalk it up to a bunch of wankers with their ticket-price strategies...don't want to undervalue the price points (Jays use similar strategies to equally dismal attendance results).

Really...it boggles the mind how slavishly jack-ass corporate these fools are and how precious certain FO people must believe themselves to be.

I truly and honestly miss the days prior to all the corporate BS. Idiots.

Hey FO - GIVE something back once in awhile. Doesn't necessarily have to fit into some twerps projections for profit maximization. Just do SOMETHING, ANYTHING without it being some greedy screw-up.

Here's what I worry about...the game in Nicaragua will also be on Setanta.

Huyton
07-24-2011, 10:46 PM
Okay...panic over...SportsNet has the Tuesday, August 2nd game on starting at 10pm.

07-25-2011, 06:17 AM
like i said, i will gladly look for and provide the address to the stream if noone can find it (and concacaaf isnt showing it on their website). I dont mind usually paying for things but this is a really really poor decision on their part.

This isn't the fault of TFC FO. I'm pretty sure they had nothing to do with the rights to this competition. That would have been CONCACAF. Sportsnet won the rights.

The stupid thing is that Sportsnet has 5 channels but chose to shove this on to Setanta. Even worse is so that they could show a TV show that is on Spike TV anyways. Why not show the CCL game on Sportsnet Ontario only?

I doubt it. Did Gol TV show any NCC replays this year?

Besides, Setanta also shows a lot of reruns. So they will most likely keep it for their own channels.

The TV ratings for TFC must be horrible right now for Sportsnet to not make even one of the 5 channels available to put this game on. Other than the Jays being on Sportsnet 1 on Wednesday, everything else is UFC reruns. :(

Wow. I don't really follow UFC. I figured that show was live/new.

That's pretty sad about the state of TFC if that's the case.

in an odd way, this saves me money. haven't forked over money to attend a live game all season, however with this game looking like it wasn't going to be televised i was actually considering attending this one despite the prices. partly it gave me an excuse to see Frings in person (after cheering for him and germany for so many years). now since i always get setanta for the premiership, i can just get it 1 month early and save money on tickets + transport + parking! and it should be HD!

im betting im the only 1 happy about this. my initial reaction was same as u guys: WTF THATS BS @$*()$*@)@

It's gonna be a light crowd. Just checked and I can still get a row of 8 in every price point including 114 - 18 rows back.

Well this is frustrating......guess I'm going to have to look for a stream to watch it online.....(should never be that serious to look for an internet stream link to watch a toronto team)

So the game will also be shown on tape delay at 11pm on Sportsnet One.

Not that greatest of news, but helpful to some I guess.

This is good news for those that are driving. Less traffic, especially for those heading west, given the construction along King.

Really?


I checked out the site since the Rogers TV guide/menu hasn't been updated yet. Kind of worries me. Hope it all works out for those in the Ottaw area.

Ya. Sportsnet twittered it:

Those Rogers cable guides are useless. Especially for last minute programming changes.

07-27-2011, 02:54 PM
I'm curious how many people will be there. As a STH it was hard not picking these up but money is tight and if anything my absence for the CCL qualifier might be part of a wider message sent to the FO about pricing. Probably not though.

07-27-2011, 02:56 PM

Nope, apparently not. From the Concacaf website:


Watch Live in the next 7 days
Live events will be back soon

There are currently no live events scheduled to be shown on this channel in the next 7 days.
Due to licensing rights, we cannot guarantee that live events will be shown until at least 7 days before they are due to be played.

However, myp2p.eu looks OK so far. I'll be at BMO, but that doesn't work for everyone...
