They have royally fucked up the roll out process and policy for ticket sales for the final. I thought last year was bad but the system suggested in the email sent out today is insane.

It can't really be first come first serve can it? Am I reading this wrong? I want to be in my usual season seats I've had with the people around me for 10 years. Thjs isn't that hard.

yeah..... sadly that's just the way it is. That's how it was last year, and how it always is.

I'm going to leave this thread open so people can blow off steam, but please remember - your ticket reps have no control over this - so dont be a jerk to them.


if it derails, the thread will get closed. thanks for understanding, but it's a done deal already.

There won't be an option to pick your seats even if they're available. If I'm reading this email correctly. Major bummer.

Your Supporter or Club seats


To secure your Supporter or Club seats you'll need to log in to your Online Account Manager tomorrow and pay your invoice. Tickets purchased from your Online Account Manager will be available to be printed or transfered immediately.


Your non Supporter or Club seats


The Ticketmaster presale for MLS Cup will be online only and ticeSt


s


PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION

MLS Cup is a League-Run Event


Consistent with 2016 and due to league requirements, Members will not have access to their Season Seat location
All Members will have guaranteed access to purchase the same number of seats as they have in their accounts, during the dedicated presale window

All presale timeslots will be prioritized by tenure

The purchase process for tickets will be conducted via Ticketmaster
You will receive Membership pricing during the Member window


The Purchase Process


Due to the volume of Members in the presale, the interactive seating map (i.e. the blue dots) will be unavailable. In its place, a static BMO Field map and search function will dictate your search options.

Recommended option Drop-Down Menu – By using the drop-down menu, you can search for seats in 15 different areas of the stadium. If you choose this option, it will automatically select the seats in the lowest rows of the sections listed that are still available
If no seats are available in the drop-down option you selected, move to a different location as these sections may be sold out

Alternative option Best Available – If you choose this option, it will automatically select the highest priced seats still available regardless of their location in the stadium
Seat availability will change throughout your window as Members are selecting and de-selecting seats



cannot be purchased over the phone. See below for Ticketmaster purchase tips.






Your Ticketmaster Account



Make sure to log in to your Ticketmaster account before your presale to avoid any delays when purchasing Click here to log on to Ticketmaster (http://app.fans.mlse.com/e/er?s=1035771346&lid=6725&elqTrackId=fe5bd221ba494a9bbe8b54bce7f9bd9e&elq=1fcad4fc8a1e446698fedbb9414ac542&elqaid=6475&elqat=1)
Please ensure that your credit card information is uploaded to your account prior to the presale to avoid any delays during your purchase window





How to Access the Tickets Once Purchased



Tickets purchased from Ticketmaster will become available to print 48 hours prior to the match

Once tickets have been purchased, you cannot exchange or refund your seats





Your Unique Presale Code


Your unique, one-time use code will become active at the start of your MLS Cup presale window

PLEASE DON’T SHARE THIS CODE AS ONCE IT IS USED, IT BECOMES INVALID

Copying and pasting your code often adds extra characters, for best results manually type in your presale code

They are very clear about the "no blue dots" thing on TM thereby ensuring people can't pick specific seats......it's unfortunate, but I'd rather have the problem of being in an MLS CUp Final and not getting my particular seats as opposed to not being in a Final at all....these are "first world" MLS problems.....

I have the Noon time slot based on tenure, I'm assuming there is a 10 am one obviously --- curious as to any other time slots that people have? 11am? 2pm? later?

Yeah I suppose they did it last year, but even then my section wasn't affected. Is it every section? will the Bunker be left to be bought by people who won't contribute in the stands? unless the league decided they wanted way more tickets this year than last I can't understand the change.

The fact that you cant use the "little blue dots" to snag your own seats if available is some major crap.

Some times not using pick-a-seat is a performance issue - more likely for things to crash. Not allowing it is a typical of large on-sales.

it is that hard. MLS CUP is a league event, meaning the league has the rights to the seats. only supporter section and club seats are held back. They dont have to give SSHs first go at tickets but imagine the shit storm if they didnt. I'd be thankful you still get to go. There are plenty of people that would take your chance.

Crap, it's far worse than last year, although website performance will probably be better. There are better ways to deal with the requirements to free up the blocks of seats required for the league; AND avoid performance issues; AND reduce the amount of turmoil by avoiding unnecessary moving about & unnecessary ticket choices for the SSH presale. But we discussed this lots last year, both here & in other forums. No need to spill more ink & waste more time on that. It's clear the league doesn't give a crap; they just flex their "league event" muscles and do what the heck they want.

BTW I really don't like the narrative "first world problems" or "rather have the problem of being in an MLS CUp Final" when there are clearly better ways to deal with the problems than what they have decided to do. We could all just say "I'm happy that I'm alive and not dead, so I'll just put up with every shit sandwich that anyone serves me for no good reason." Probably the mood will be as dead in the section I end up in as it was last year in the MLS Cup, with nobody knowing each other. Plus a bunch of guys being totally annoying, with inappropriate behaviour and non-stop swearing mostly unrelated to the game; while adjacent parents / kids / grandparents looked about uncomfortably; but nobody said anything because the normal social controls of a section where most SSHers know each other had been destroyed.

The league and I don't know who else are being thick-headed, not inventive. Whatever, let's just leave it at that. Maybe it's something that could be raised in future SSH meetings; club/league/supporters group events; etc. But I'm not holding my breath, as I know there are bigger unresolved issues. Definitely mention it to your ticket reps if you're unhappy; but definitely be nice to your ticket reps as well.

Do we know anything about extra seats being added? I doubt we end up with as many extra seats as last year, where the temp stands were useful for both TFC & the Grey Cup. I find overall demand so far in the playoffs has been lower than last year: things don't sell out as fast; there are more seats available for reasonable prices; there were even some seats available shortly before the last games. Slightly lower local demand could ease the pressure for the MLS Cup; or the reduced number of extra seats could make things harder. Probably it will be a wash.

The window for my seatmate & I starts at noon on Friday; can't remember exactly when we started our season tickers.

I just spoke with my account rep, as I'd been given a 4pm time slot. Long story short, I had to change the name on my account last year, as the membership was in someone else's name. I wanted to know if that affected my time slot, and the answer was yes, because of the 'ownership' change.

However, the good news in all this - he said that my supporters section tickets in 110 wouldn't be affected, only the other tickets I have (in 220). Apparently as long as you opt-in, supporters section seats are safe, as they want supporters sections to stay together. If you have seats outside of designated supporters section then you will likely be moved, but supporters sections should get their normal seats.

No STH I know is going to say "I'm not going to MLS Cup because I can't get my seats, and even if they do, those seats are gone quickly to the next buyer anyways on Monday. I'm not saying you and I and other long time STH shouldn't be pissed to some degree (cripes I bought frigging Marlies Ransom Packs back in the day with 1/2 season packs - let me tell you about righteous indignation! - ha ha ha), I'm just saying that I'm not going to direct my anger and frustration down that road at this point, I guess its to each their own in terms of how they want to handle the ticketing situation.

Anyways -

I truly hope you find a way to get to be near your "regular" seats -- I will be endeavoring to do the same thing - last year I was at least in my section for MLS Cup......maybe a new section will bring me luck this year for the Final....at this point I'm willing to try anything..... ;)

Yes "I'm happy I'm alive" is over the top. But "let's just be happy we're in the MLS Cup, no matter how they handle this" is also over the top. Many people weren't happy last year; the league and/or TFC and/or Ticketmaster made it worse rather than better. So they're not even trying to support a culture of long-time season ticket holders, etc. (I also started with Marlies Packs BTW.) It may never get better for any MLS Cup host city. But it certainly won't get better if nobody complains.

I surely know there are bigger issues in the world; some that I also help with at work or on my private times. Those affected often hear the similar stories: "just be thankful that" and all the "whataboutism" that gets thrown around these days...

It is worse than last year. It could have been better than last year, because there are better ways to handle this, but they've chosen the heavy-handed approach. If we hadn't made it to MLS Cup because a couple of touch-and-go results going the other way, and another team with a similar large percentage of season-ticket holds was hosting instead of TFC, I would also want them to be treated better.

That's a ridiculous comparison. There is always somebody worse off somewhere. It's not an "either-or." I can be very sad for the loss of life of a TFC supporter, while also realizing that there are better ways that MLS could have handled ticket sales for MLS Cup.

Some good news, I believe, about the way they're selling additional seats for SSHers this year, for all the playoff games. Apparently you can't email transfer those seats; and you can only access them a day before the event. I guess that's an attempt to make life harder for scalpers?

Of course you can email it,all you have to do is choose print at home option and download you pdf ticket file,sell and email. Only difference is ,you can access those tickets 48hrs before the game,not before.

I totally understand the frustration.

But the reality is, we are going to the final and for the second year in a row we don't have to worry about air fare. We don't have to worry about ticket allotment.

That's outstanding.

A little weird to be playing a neutral site game in your home stadium? Sure. But I can't get behind the rage.

Last year for the Cup I moved from up in the 200's down to the center field about 10 rows up for the second half, where all the League tourists were. There were empty seats. Must have been the weather. Dead atmosphere but me and the boys brought some life there for a bit.

I got a 4pm time slot tomorrow will probably end up back in the 200's.

And a lot of people who have been there from the start until not will tell you there were a lot of day trippers in the supporters section who were there to get bombed. A lot of the people I have talked to have agreed but everyone is entitled to their opinion. Not having people in their own seats and allowing copious amounts of tickets into the hands of scalpers certainly doesn’t help the atmosphere. I think we can all agree on that.

This is how I understand the process:

SSH Supporter's Sections: You pay your bill through Account Manager your seats are secured , and print out immediately
SSH all other sections: You log onto Ticketmaster at allotted time (10:00am) with your one time code, you purchase the number
of seats you have in your account, but they will not be your original SSH seat locations.
Same as last year only no blue dot option, listed by sections.

A separate email with a pre sale code will be sent for additional tickets on sale Monday.

Am I correct

Some good news, I believe, about the way they're selling additional seats for SSHers this year, for all the playoff games. Apparently you can't email transfer those seats; and you can only access them a day before the event. I guess that's an attempt to make life harder for scalpers?

supports sections can get their tickets tomorrow at 10 am but must get them before midnight Sunday. Those tickets are available for download, transfer etc immediately. They then have their own window (probably with other season holders?) to buy additional tickets on Monday before general public - perhaps there are 48hr restrictions on those ones? Not sure.

I would just say don't panic - things did work out last year. You will get a ticket. My section 116 last year - we actually had way more people than seats - we were sideways in the isles standing, probably against code, but we fit people in to get them out of the nosebleeds. I have great appreciation that I am one of the lucky ones but I also know there are lots of people in the supporters sections that have spares and try to ensure they go to Red Patch Boys, regulars etc and not to 'glory hunters'. Nobody I knew tried to cash in last year - we made a concerted effort through Kings of the North to get people into the game. It will happen again this year. Have faith, don't panic. There aren't a million people fighting for these tickets.

You may be buying a Stubhub ticket that the buyer has no right to yet - especially if its not in the south stand? The prices on there right now I think are way higher that what they will eventually go for.

I don't know man. That's what I thought last year and prices only went up closer to game time. I bought at the last minute and spent somewhere between $300-400.

Seattle up 3-0 and cheapest tickets are now $340 USD each. Damn.

They may not even be real tickets. I just checked Stubhub, and there are 8 tickets for sale in each of Sections 313 and 316. Those seats may have existed in the last MLS Cup (and Grey Cup and Centennial Classic), but they don't exist this time around. lol

Just because someone can’t afford season seats it doesn’t mean they aren’t a real supporter. I would venture to say there are lots of people who can’t affford MLSE’s inflated ticket prices that are supporters of this club. Your comment is disingenuous.

Sad you can't come in person anymore, at least the broadcast will be good.

It's not the FO that is at fault, it's the league that mandates that advertisers and big wigs get the prime seats and determined this process. I understand the "why," but it's the "how" that is a problem.

This being a league event , in many ways it’s a neautral site from their standpoint, not a TFC home game. Funny thing is when you look back at 2010 when it was at BMO every season ticket holder has their seats, which shows how far this league has really come.

Ticketbastard is showing a range of $90 to $370. I see it going down like concert tickets. The map will not be initially available but after the frenzy dies down it will be. You obviously risk waiting for that moment, but then again, even if you do, it's not like it will be sold out (and if you go earlier you can end up elsewhere anyway). Might be worth waiting until later to get seats IDK.

Edit: That is to say that last year the map did eventually become available.

I was the 10am window to get tickets - my seasons seats are in 107. I managed to get tickets in 107 a few rows in front of where I normally sit. Mine were $170 each for a total of $340. Will still miss the other seasons seat holders around us - many of them have later windows and will likely not get our section:( but as this thread indicates "it's a league event".
It was reasonably quick. The 15 areas you can select from seem largely to be done by colour (ie red/light red, grey etc) or the temporary stands and show the section numbers.

I don't think moving seats changes the tenure. A friend of mine has tickets from year 1 and has moved further down several rows a couple of times. He had 10 am presale.

Also, TM doesn't allow for any single tickets to be left for the game. There is a single seat besides my friends tickets and he was unable to buy his normal 2 seats and TM was forcing him to buy 3. He chose other seats in the same section instead.

It's pretty frustrating too hear that she wasn't given much information or just didn't know much about the whole situation. Considering MLSE went through this process last year, you'd figure they learned and this would be much smoother, but it seems like it has gotten even worse.

Got my regular seat Sec 209, Row 3. $130. Can't complain about this price.


I got my normal seats in 126. I was able to select from the map and could see all the available seats. $130 per ticket for lower level light grey.

How the heck did you guys manage to get your own seats (outside of the south end supporters sections)?! Wow!

Would the fan services number be 416-360-4625? It's the only number I could really find in the tickets section on the TFC website.

416-815-5982 hit 4 for general inquires.

just called back, was told "there might not even a public onsale due to extremely limited supply.." and was given a different time for monday (i was told TDB last time, now i was told 2).

just called back.. again.. was told TBD, monday is for additional tickets to SSH, limited supply, might not be available to the public (ie: scalpers grabbing more ticket blocks), check back monday at 12.

I wouldn't assume much of a public sale. There are quite a few less seats available this year than last due to the Grey Cup seat addition. I'm sure they can sell out through members if they want. Only question is if they intentionally hold back seats for a public sale.

Around 7000 seats less then last year,this is why I would not be surprised if they hold back some seats for a public sale.

My time slot was 10am. I was looking for my same 4 saets in section 105 (light greys). Without divulging the row I kept hitting "try again" to get my row without any luck. I did not want to get left out so I HAD to get tickets 2 rows ahead of my normal row. Sorry for those who were sitting in that row/seat but I had no other option and I was not going to take any chances.

EDIT - sorry I forgot to mention I did NOT see any option for "blue dots" as some have said. I was in a but of a panic though and may have missed it. The email from TFC did say that the blue dot option was not available.

Even when I got beyond the error message, I did not get choice of seats just price point with that link. I tried the older link from yesterdays email and that allowed me to purchase seats from specific rows (just keep scrolling down the list until you find what you want) but not the seat number. I ended up getting seats that are 4 away from my season seats. I'm hoping that I'll still be close to my usual group!

2) If you are getting the error message, it may be because you have multiple browsers/tabs open (I did have a few tabs opened....closed everything and went back in and did not get the error again)
3) Do not try to search too many times looking for "ideal" tickets....TM may think your a bot an boot your IP (this has actually happened to me a couple of times with concerts), and you will not be able to get back in from that computer for around 48 hrs.

I don't think moving seats changes the tenure. A friend of mine has tickets from year 1 and has moved further down several rows a couple of times. He had 10 am presale.


Also, TM doesn't allow for any single tickets to be left for the game. There is a single seat besides my friends tickets and he was unable to buy his normal 2 seats and TM was forcing him to buy 3. He chose other seats in the same section instead.

It does change the tenure but it depends on the situation. It didn't matter for me as year 1 and year 2 season seat holders both got the 10am time slot. The brothers who have the season seats behind us have also been season seat holders since year 1 but they only moved to our section 2 years ago and they have the 4pm time slot. From what their account rep told them it doesn't affect tenure if you stay within your "colour" ie dark grey but if you move to a different price point you're restarting the tenure clock.

Safari or Explorer worked fine, and oddly enough Chrome mobile browser on my phone actually brought up the seat map so I could select a specific section, just not specific seats. All good.

The atmosphere at the final last year was awful. That was because of real supporters not being able to get tickets. I’d rather play this game in a neutral site so the true support has to travel.

The atmosphere last year was bad because it was -20, the tension was increased, and Seattle played a defensive style that wasn't very exciting.

At least we're being guaranteed seats.

It isn't ideal. But it's a league issue. Not MLSE. I imagine most of us would prefer this to a neutral site.

The only flaw was they should have for seen this and put in some extra temp seating. Rather than the VIP suites they erected.

When I used the link in my email at my time, it brought me to a page where I could only select blocks of 4 sections at a certain price points, and it would give me random tickets in any one of those 4 sections (or I had to choose "Best Available").
I clicked on THE SAME link a few hours later (and after I had purchased my tickets), and I was taken to a page where I had the option to select Section and Row, just not seats.

If so that's bs, if a scalper for example with a block of garbage tix ends up with a huge upgrade that are someone else's seats.
Id like to know if it was MLSE or the league that came up with this ticketing plan.
If it's MLSE it's really bad customer service.

well, after 2 hours of fighting, finally managed tob uy some tickets.
In an entirely different part of the stadium.

This years ticket purchase process was literally cancerous.

I do not feel good about this purchase, and it really sullied the whole experience as a SSH.

Shouldnt be sold out - are you getting an error? I had a hell of a time having it load tickets for me. Try to load in Chrome, in INCOGNITO mode.

Same as last year, all you're guaranteed is the number of seats you own in your account - not where you'll sit. Last year some thing happened, people who had nosebleed seats all year all of a sudden could buy lower stand if they were earlier in the process.

Friend of mine has 8 season seats in 2nd highest price bracket. Today he ended up some 20+ rows in the upper stand ... and yes, he's pissed.

You are right, by chance I went back in and noticed some tickets .. got a pair.
But nonetheless the process was way worse than last year.

I like how last round was done. Get your own tickets and then a presale for leftovers.

that's the ideal way, but totally impossible to do because MLS has to comp sponsors for the final.
should've just been interactive map like last year....select the seats you want on the map, and away you go......

All day i had a window open that showed me what section and rows were available in a box on the right. Then at 4pm the option to access the 4pm window became available so entered code and was accepted. But all my choices in the right pane remained locked, my code would not work to unlock them because it seems they are still reserved for the earlier windows. These were much better sections then what was offered to me (121 row 10 vs 221 row 18).

So apparently earlier windows get all the best seats allocated. Like someone said earlier a scalper with a bunch of cheap tickets since year 1 will be able to jump in today and upgrade to premium sections to make a killer profit.

Ended up completely diagonally across the other end of the stadium, not my first choice but at least I'm in. Got em in 126 really hope I got some scalpers tickets and not a supporter.

Yep - seems like they had different inventory for different sections. I was seeing the same thing you were as I was part of the 4pm group myself as once I entered my code, I was not seeing anything available to me but a different browser window showed locked tickets to level 100s

Then take that section or two for sponsors and notify those SSH and give them a window for 1st dibs.

I had better luck using my phone....I couldn't get any seats on chrome, it would just say seats are unavailable or someone beat me to them. Tried on my phone got some options I didn't like so I would try again, finally got section 209 row 8 which I was content with then everything went smoothly.
I was also in the 4:00 time slot and there were a bunch of seats unavailable that were there minutes earlier.

Things didn't exactly work out the way it was described in the email... but got my tix anyway.

- Clicked on link at 10am, refreshed a few times, message saying "Tickets sold out, next opportunity at 12pm". Panic starts to weigh in.
- Refreshed a couple more times and tickets available. Entered code and was able to select seats. My section 225 had everything available and although I could have moved up several rows I took my own seats. Which I like.

I got my seats two rows back from my seasons. I hasd a 12pm slot. Happy about what i got but very pissed off about the process.

For 20 minutes i tried the best available with the link that tfc sent right before the window ipened and could not get any seats at all!

So the. I had to start getting creative searching for the earlier links i had been sent and using them etc. Eventually i was able to get seats.

This is total bs. There ahould be one method of access. We should be told what that is. It should work.


Forcing people to guess which links work, which browsers work, and whether you can have more than one tab open is crazy. Some people could select individual seats, some could pick best available by area, some could pick best available by acrolling down a long list, some could not select at all.

Its a non transparent process - that is bogus and it helps the professional scalpers immensley. I am sure they already knew exactly what to do.


I do not think what i am asking for is too much. I want a fair transparent process that treats everyone the same and which does not require hacker skills or luck to master.

The ticketmaster app wouldn't work on my phone for the 2pm selection - the window for the code would be obscured by the keyboard! I ended up in 209 row 3 (regulars are 205) so I'm fine with the result.

I'm a bit surprised to see my specific seats on stubhub for $300 US. That's about 3x what I paid for the seats I got... Is that market?

I used firefox so didnt have the problems others seemed to have.

I also knew I was never going to get my season seat as they seemed to have staked out the first 10 rows of 221.

To my mind, I'm then dipping a ladle into the big pot all of us SSH not in the South had to grab a bowl from. If people are lucky enough to get their SS, all power to them. Most of us won't. So we are all, based on seniority, doing what we can to be there. In that situation, which the league creates, I'm not going to worry about who was sitting in that one seat two nights ago.

Even with the initial panic of "oh my gosh I'm locked out!", which sounded like a coding glitch where seat availability was set to start after the time when logging in was allowed, I actually thought the process was more transparent. Sections and seats was relatively easy to navigate if you looked at the map that conveniently stayed up on the left. I had lots of choice in that big pot and can't really complain about the choice or the price.

Others didn't experience that, obviously. But my own personal experience was actually better then last year.

There are people selling seats on Stubhub in sections that don't exist this year. I wouldn't trust a single thing in there until next Tuesday.

The atmosphere last year was bad because it was -20, the tension was increased, and Seattle played a defensive style that wasn't very exciting.

At least we're being guaranteed seats.

It isn't ideal. But it's a league issue. Not MLSE. I imagine most of us would prefer this to a neutral site.

The only flaw was they should have for seen this and put in some extra temp seating. Rather than the VIP suites they erected.

Check stubhub mate. I hope the supporters section gets loud with all the day trippers. Couple that with stories of SSH that can’t get tickets. Either move the game to a neutral site or make it a home game for the SS winner with the club having control. Get off the pot MLS.

Because "real supporters" don't want to shell out for season tickets, apparently. :lol:

I call bs on this whole claim of lack of atmosphere, because I was there. The atmosphere at last year's cup was amazing.
Let's not forget that the entire south end was left untouched. Let's not kid ourselves, but with the exception of a "TFC" chant, and some oooo's and aaaaah's, the majority of the atmosphere comes from the south end. This coming from someone who doesn't sit in a supporter's section.

However, I do agree that the whole thing is pretty disorganized. I blame Ticketmaster. You would think that the largest ticket distributor would be capable of handling large ticket demand without their website crashing, or encountering other errors. I mean, that's their service!

I live 3300 miles from Toronto (in Scotland) so there is no chance for me to attend. The way I see it, it would be amazing to simply be there for what will hopefully be a historic night. I'll have to make do with a late night in front of the TV and be thankful for the fact the kick off isn't the same time as the last match. :)

Depending on tenure the prices fluctuate. I can tell you that I did not pay $130.00 for section 105 but paid $110.00. I am a year one season ticket holder if that helps...

EDIT - light greys in section 105.

Still doesn't seem correct. I am a day 1 SSH and the price in light grey was $130 for me, but my Supporters were $80.

I'll call the ticket rep and confirm whether I was charged face and not SSH price.

I think there are now two different light grey price points, ever since the big light grey price increase a few years ago. But it's definitely a good idea to check with your ticket rep.

My 2 light grey in Section 110 upper supporters were $110 each, which were purchased through Account Manager, my 1 SSH ticket in lower 110 non supporter was $130 same row as my season seat but 5 seats away.
The process for me was actually quite painless and simple, I logged on at exactly 10:00am and could use the blue dot seat selector, maybe it was just amazingly
good luck and timing, but no complaints.
