Share your stories: Bringing people to the CCL QF @ Rogers

[Oldtimer]

Share any positive stories about inviting people to the CCL quarter-final match at the Rogers Centre. Are you bringing a dozen friends? Did that Eurosnob or Puckhead finally decide to take in a game? Share it here!

....

I'll start, I asked both my sons and they immediately said yes.

[117]

I created a Facebook page yesterday and invited my friends. I'm at 27 people already for the $19 tickets. Probably half have never been to a game before.
Can't wait!

[Brooker]

The ones who aren't soccer fans are confused by just what exactly the CCL is. I don't understand what's so confusing. The friends/family I've asked all seem pretty indifferent to the game.

[Furtado91]

so far its me, my girlfriend her brother (figure this is a good event to get to know her brother better, he used to play in Poland).

[Klinsmann]

I've asked 9 people now and 6 have agreed to come so far....

[Suds]

I've already blasted an email to all my friends and family who follow footy of any kind. I was able to get a group of 14 people together for the CMNT games at BMO.

My goal for this game is to try and get 20 friends and family out.

[razor787]

Having a bunch of people coming from work. Going to buy 15 tickets, and hope I sell them all. Already about 8 confirmed, just gotta find out what price I can get, and I may end up bringing more then my 15.

[Relja]

Im getting the Ryerson Engineers Student Society involved. We made it out to the TFC vs Red Bulls game last year. I think about 20 people showed up and that was with tickets around 30 bucks. If they get the cheaper ones itll definately be more people. Im also going to bring out some neighbourhood friends and the girlfriend and such. Going to be an awesome game :D

Lucky you, the journalism students were only offered tickets for 59 dollar! :D

[rocker]

I asked my brother. I'm getting him tickets with me and my dad.
He's coming with his wife and 5 year old daughter and 8 year old son. He wasn't gonna come if it was at BMO, cuz he'd freeze and his kids would want out of there immediately.
My GF may come too if she's in town that day -- she wouldn't set foot in a freezing BMO Field in a million years. She usually only comes to summer games.

[gomesv]

Bringing a group of 8.........hoping MLSE get the point.... when pricing is fair, we will do our part to promote the game.:scarf:

[Dv23]

Got 7 for sure. Just family so far. Am asking around on Twitter and Facebook though.

[PopePouri]

Got my dad who's coming from NS.

[Detroit_TFC]

Great thread, thanks Oldtimer!

[levyashin]

10 so far,maybe 20

[Thomas]

I've got 9 confirmed so far. I will be spreading the word at my work starting next week. Let this go viral!

[ManUtd4ever]

I'm going with my buddy that shares seasons tickets with me, and I've also convinced several others to join us including my Puckhead brothers and Eurosnob friends. I've got about 10 people coming so far.

I would bring my son as well but he's only 3 weeks old. :)

[JonO]

Congrats.... Hope to bring my son (and my daughter will likely want to come as well). Maybe my brother and some other family. Friends arent all that interested...

[ManUtd4ever]

Thanks bro.

[Red CB Toronto]

Between myself and a friend we will be getting at least 14 so far.

[massive_magpie]

26 so far, aiming for 50 :D

I'm aiming for sections 126-128 to keep close to the SGs, but not to take up the space (I'll have some kids, and a lot of +1s in my group) while ensuring that I (and the other proper supporters in my group) can still yell and stand :D

[steveb_ea]

I'm up to 18, aiming for S116.

[uncle p]

Great thread, maybe the RPB Facebook page can create an event and leave it open for all members to invite friends. I'd forward it to my whole friends list....

In response to the thread, all my friends are currently TFC fans and will already be in attendance. I'll be reaching out to my brother and his buddies for support

[glaze]

i'll be sitting with the poeple I usually attend games with.
but I have asked my friends if they wanted me to pick up seats for them.
so far my dad has asked for a pair. he attended a game in year one, but our seats were in 110, and he didnt quite get the whole standing thing.
so i'll try to get him a pair in 200 level.
With the fair pricing, this is a pretty easy sell. However, many people I have mentioned it to didn't even know this game was happening. Once word gets out I think tix will go quickly.

[kodiakTFC]

I'm going to play it safe and buy 8.

[ForeverTFC]

At 14 so far, will have final numbers by tonight.

:scarf:

[117]

I created a Facebook page yesterday and invited my friends. I'm at 27 people already for the $19 tickets. Probably half have never been to a game before.
Can't wait!

Up to 39 now. Will probably buy 50 tomorrow, because all of those people have friends. 39 in two days. Half have been to 1 game or less before!

[Suds]

Up to 14 in my group so only another 6 to hit my goal.

With the pricing ranges it's easier to get commitments from people. Some very good seats at reasonable rates.

[Shway]

Making a father son/big brother even out of this game,

I look at it like this, im going to buy one of those group packages, and give the tickets out to the kids for free.
130 bucks, and your doing something great for the community

Confirmed 33, aiming for 50

[ForeverTFC]

20 confirmed. People I had no faith in have been jumping at the tickets. I'm impressed.

[CoachGT]

I'm buying 30 tickets. I have 7 sold to people at work and other 5 to people I know from hockey. Shouldn't have much problem getting rid of the rest. I may increase to 50. Don't know yet.

[andyc]

I`m at 52 confirmed and counting... Got my sons soccer team and people at work coming. At the lower prices, people are bringing the whole family!

[tfcmanu]

Sent a message to all my contacts I'm expecting around 35 people to attend and all 35 confirmed.:flare:

[Redcoe15]

Save one for me, please! :(

[dupont]

I just found out I will be in New York for a week when the game happens...
I can't remember being this depressed about anything in a long time.

(before receiving this devastating news, I had convinced 10 people to go so hopefully they still will)

[Dv23]

Update. I have about 15 confirmed. Hoping to grab all of the tickets for section 112.

[TFC1154ever]

10 for me, 10 for my buddy. Does anyone know where the redpatchboys/u-sector/NEE are standing? I would like to get all of these ticket in the section beside it.

[Red CB Toronto]

10 for me, 10 for my buddy. Does anyone know where the redpatchboys/u-sector/NEE are standing? I would like to get all of these ticket in the section beside it.

The sections for the supporters group are 118-121. 117 would be a good choice for you being the same price point, you are right beside the supporter section plus you are where the Reds will be entering the field from.

[ULTRAS_114]

i plan on picking up 12-15 tickets.Everbody that i ask says yes right away to a ticket... i have a very good feeling this will be a game to remember

[prizby]

all of you picking up tickets...what sections are you going for...sounds like a lot of interest but 118-125 (what has been deemed the supporters section) will only hold 1800 people give or take a few

maybe if those sell quick, they'll open up the tickets on the 200 level for supporters

[anto7]

23 of us coming from Belleville

[jmorgs88]

35 confirmed, waiting on over 10 more...this game could be one of the greatest events in TFC history....or a flop, lets hope for the first one.

[NBS]

this game could be one of the greatest events in TFC history....or a flop, lets hope for the first one.

The supporters will do their part, much however will rely on what the squad on the pitch does that day, hopefully Dallas was a turning point for this team and they won't disappoint. God I hope they don't lay an egg that day. The energy that has been lost for this team in this city could be reborn if they perform on that stage.

I'm probably bringing 10 or so people myself.

[Primavera]

15 confirmed. Maybe a few more by 11:00 Monday morn.

[SQUIRREL]

I have 15 confirmed, will be buying 20, just waiting for RPB code.

[Wull]

I think between me and cityboy we're sitting at around 50 at the moment

[lintberg]

I have 24 confirmed.

[Dv23]

We should have a seminar day for all of the people we're bringing to this game! Teach them how to be fans.

[denime]

Supporters section will be in the south end from 116 to 127.

Sections 118 to 121 have been set aside for RPB, U-Sector, NEE and TRN.

Try to get your tickets around these sections.

:drum::flare::scarf::flare::drum:

[Red CB Toronto]

Can u feel it, United Red Power is in the air. Looking forward to 11 am !!!

[Joe Kool]

I started asking around and got up to 14 pretty fast. I could probably keep going but don't really have a ton of cash to put out up front even though the tickets are reasonable so going to have to stop there.

I have about 10 or 15 that I'm buying for and there's another 20 or so buying on their own.

C'mon 50K!

[Suds]

Got my 20 for my group. Can't wait.

[kodiakTFC]

I ended up buying 10 but I know I'll probably have to double that once word catches on.

[trane]

two groups 5 in the supporters, 10 all around the stadium.

[kodiakTFC]

If this game hits 50k, they'll use the images to market TFC forever ;).

[Thomas]

I hope that they invest (yes invest) in a very strong marketing program for this match. Print, digital, radio & TV should be heavily covered, and I'd like to see some slick TV adverts. If this is handled right, we will get a good showing, and a percentage of those attending the game will become net new TFC fans.

I've got 3 for myself and 4 for someone else, 7 so far.

I agree. How hard could it be to get 50000 people in a 'special' event to see Beckham? I think we'll get a near sellout no problem as long as TFC advertises this come February. They should see this as in investment in gaining greater public awareness of TFC and hopefully creating new fans.

If you go by that TFC has in the area of 16,000 Season tickets sold and you factor in that people this morning have been buying 100, 50, 20 etc at a time along with the price getting to 50,000 is very much a reality and could get there quicker than most would expect.

I've heard or read absolutely nothing about this game anywhere other than on this forum. Not a peep.

I think the TFC sales rep may have taken me off the emailing list after I refused to buy season tickets last month. Not cool.

[nfitz]

I think the TFC sales rep may have taken me off the emailing list after I refused to buy season tickets last month. Not cool.I've seen nothing on my Red List account either. Red list doesn't get a shot until Thursday, and then they are at Ticketmaster, so higher price plus service charges.

^ Maybe some SSH folks that you know can help you out.

EDIT: although this should probably go in the other thread: http://redpatchboys.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=30503

[Detroit_TFC]

I think the waiting list sales begin on Thursday, then general public on Monday. Probably seperate emails for those.

[Carefree]

But weren't there emails sent out to announce that the game was being held at Rogers Centre, to announce the pricing and sales schedule, etc? I used to get stuff from TFC at least once a week but since the end of the season, nothing. I've been getting all my updates on this game through the RPB website.

As mentioned, this should probably go in the other thread. However, maybe things got messed up when your status changed & you had to be moved between mailing lists. TFC isn't going to purposely ignore any potential customers; your money is still legal tender even if you spurned their attempts to get you back as a SSH! TFC also mentioned that they've been having some email problems.

Check this info from here http://www.torontofc.ca/news/2012/01/ccl-ticket-sales-begin-monday


Season seat holders or members of waiting lists not receiving emails, are urged to contact their account representative or call 416-360-GOAL (4625) on weekdays between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET to update their information.

[TFC_Allez]

20 confirmed. People I had no faith in have been jumping at the tickets. I'm impressed.

I'm excited to see all the boys at this one! Should be a great night
:scarf:

[Carefree]

Thanks Auzzy. I didn't actually think MLSE as a company would refuse my money, but the woman I spoke to who was trying to sell me the seasons sounded really pissed off, and I wouldn't put it past her to delete my name from the mailing list and the waiting list (I was on the Gold). That said, it's more likely that I'm just the victim of a computer glitch.

I only brought this up in response to people who said this game needs some kick-ass marketing (which I agree with) to point out that I have not heard anything about the game.

[Lennon]

How can I get tickets in 118-121 ??
Are they being sold in the members section ?

[KGH]

I've seen nothing on my Red List account either. Red list doesn't get a shot until Thursday, and then they are at Ticketmaster, so higher price plus service charges.

Keep in mind the Pre-Sale and discount is for SSH. I guess it's one of the perks of being a SSH.

But sometimes the extra Red List account comes very useful. ;-)

[werewolf]

I bought 10 tickets in the supporters section, probably needed 12, but that was the max. About half the group are normal south-end regulars, and the other half are newbs (to TFC, not soccer).

bringing 6 others. some are football fans, some are new to it. really looking forward to this!

[gcolacci]

Started with myself plus three - then got my SSH friends around me on board and got 7 each from two of them so i originally bought 18 - 35$ tickets.

Then grabbed 5 - 10$ tickets for my lil bro and his buddies.

Then got another 20 tickets in the rows behind me for 35$ again.

most have never been to a TFC game. but the news of a "playoff" game in toronto got them stoked!!!

And that was all it took.

I am excited. will probably sell another 15 by the end of the presale.

[DavydMT]

Sold 30 at $19

time to get soccer parents at work to buy some $10 tickets.

[Canary10]

I'm pretty pleased with myself. I sold 47 tickets. The great thing is about 2/3 have never seen a game before, and have three groups of families - wife, kids, everyone. They'll be in for a real treat! This will be a game those kids will remember, maybe even encourage them to keep playing. I found saying it's TFC's biggest game ever, it's like a playoff game, and the great $19 price for the 200s was all the selling I needed. I had more people than I could keep up with. Many were just never able to get tickets to a BMO game and always wanted to check it out.

I'm pretty amazed at the number of tickets fans have put together as group buys. I thought my 20 was a lot but I've seen up to 70 purchased.

If anything, this should tell TFC that their loyal fans are willing to do the marketing for them if they prices are right.

I think everyone who bought 20 tickets or more should get a free coke hand delivered by Tommy A at the game. :D

[liv4evr]

Bought 8, then kept getting calls from my friends all day asking for tickets and just placed another order for 8 more....likely a third order going in shortly....likely for another 8-10.... 1st 8 are in 116, 2nd 8 front of 511.

[Auzzy]

Got 10 in the first row of Section 209. Crap, shoulda bought more. One friend who rarely comes to TFC games, wants 6 of them.

So of the 10, likely will be 4 for regulars, 2 for very occasional fans, and 4 for complete newbies.

[Oldtimer]

I asked a family of baseball fans, and the dad and 2 sons are coming, they'll be in the cheap seats. That brings a total of 10 for me (so far).

Oldtimer: I'm curious what our total purchases were running at. Perhaps on you original post you could do a tally by member? It could give us some weight in the future. Might even help win some leniency with he restrictive BMO rules...

"The FO asked the supporters to step up and get the word out and the RPB did just that. Collectively we purchased x,xxx tickets in addition to our ssh ticets to help fill the dome."

KGH - 2ssh +6 additional = 8 total

The ones who aren't soccer fans are confused by just what exactly the CCL is. I don't understand what's so confusing. The friends/family I've asked all seem pretty indifferent to the game.

yes, many people in North America only understand the Season followed by playoffs format like in NHL, NFL, MLB exc. they just cant seem to get there heads around a season with promotion and relegation, Champions Leagues, FA Cups, Carling Cups, they just often don't understand.


And then theres the people such as some Leafs fans who say soccer is stupid they dont even have nick names like the Leafs or Raptors ( ive herd a guy say that before), and "they have adds on there jerseys thats so stupid". Then theres Soccer fans who say "how can you guys have commercials during games", and why the fuck would you call your team something as stupid as "wild" "Blue jackets" exc ( tho some nick names they do have a point why would you come up with that name, lol). The never ending arguments that exsist between Hockey, baseball, basketball, football fans vs Soccer fans. Some just accept its just a different sport and do things different, some other fans in North America seem to almost be angry that soccer has different ways of doing things then other pro sports!

Some just accept its just a different sport and do things different, some other fans in North America seem to almost be angry that soccer has different ways of doing things then other pro sports. Jealous or something i don't know! lol

I'm a Leaf fan who doesn't think soccer is stupid.

I'm a Leaf fan who doesn't think soccer is stupid.

ya i said that wrong, there is lots of people who are fans of Leafs or other teams that also love TFC or soccer in general, but there is also quite a lot that are anti soccer as well for some reason.

I just had a guy at my work buy 10 seats, that means about 18 people in my department attending so far.

Totally agree, but it goes both ways. Many espouse a soccer culture and seem unwilling to bend from their idea of what that is, which becomes divisive.

I definitely understand what you're saying. I'm a fan of multiple sports and have often heard the refrain "______ is stupid." It's just a negative attitude. I like to think positively as often as possible and see no benefit in trying to disparage other sports or their fans. Unfortunately there is a percentage of the population that is just negative in general. Nothing we can do about it but go have a great time and not worry about them.

I just bought another 10...So that makes 20 in total.

[Brooker]

ahhh glad you edited that james. you saved me an infraction. :)


I am at 85 sold now! 70 of us will be rocking it in section 239! Told all my guests a Dress Code is in effect - RED!!!!!

Wow! Who the hell are you taking? lol.

[TFC Cityboy]

already put a group together for section 115 regulars and friends (67 seats in 122).

Now putting a group together for Sean's Mississauga Falcons U12 Rep team. 39 seats sold so far -likely end up north of 80- for the 500 section behind the supporters section.
#occupyrogerscentre!

[Mark TFC]

Last I heard we've got a group of 25 people going, tickets have been purchased. Missed the pre-sale to supporters unfortunately, but being there is the most important part so I'm just glad to be attending the match. Anyone else in/around 206?

[TorontoGooner]

Bought six for the upper bowl, so bringing some British mates who are new to the city, as well as some colleagues who are desperate to support TFC. They're also tagging along to away games. Great first game for them to go to.

Me and my regular game going mate however will be down in 124, screaming our heads off!

[razor787]

Im a little upset. Despite talking to a rep before tickets went on sale, and telling him how many i wanted (20) he was only able to give me upper bowl seats. So me and 19 buddies from work will all be up in the 500's

[Dub Narcotic]

ya i said that wrong, there is lots of people who are fans of Leafs or other teams that also love TFC or soccer in general, but there is also quite a lot that are anti soccer as well for some reason.

There's a lot of douchy soccer fans who are anti-NA sports as well so I would not get too bothered about any of it.

[TFC Cityboy]

ended up with 2 groups
67 of us in the supporters section (122) - all BMO Field section 115 regulars with some guests
101 up in 524 from 2 rep teams at Mississauga Falcons.
I should add that I did not and do not plan to make a cent off these-all sold at face value to those buying.

total 168. Can't wait. I think I'll know a few people there!

[prizby]
