There are 4 different time slots available.

Cost is a chartable donation of $5 to MLSE foundation.

Damn guess im not valued enough :p aha

I got the 8-10 Monday tickets I’m actually really disappointed this year with the lack of stuff they’ve given out

[Ponderosa]

I was surprised they didn’t have the family BBQ. A week night event downtown event not much of a consolation.

[JuWright]

Yes, agreed. No more ‘annual’ BBQ this year.

[Laiping]

I'm very disappointed this year with MLSE giveaways as well! But we did get two tickets for Tuesday September 25 @ 6:00 to 8:00 for the Ripley's Aquarium.

[magmadragon]

What was this year's SSH event anyways? Did they forget that part of the package?

[catz4ever]

Maybe the aquarium

[Ponderosa]

If they axe the annual toque giveaway I say we all protest in silence and wear black...there are just some things you don’t mess with.

I love the aquarium

MLSE treat Raptors and Leafs season seat holders waaayyy better when it comes to this sort of stuff.

[Laiping]

It used to be a lot better when Tim Leiweke was here! He fought against MLSE ownership for everything for us! I really miss his leadership! It's just been downhill ever since! :((

I'm a Raptors SSH as well and I can say that as soon as the Raps got good and the waiting list got long, the perks ended. I expect many events and many phone calls once the Raptors go into rebuild mode and the demand declines.

Like the days of giving TFC season ticket holders free lower bowl Raptors tickets.

Canada’s Wonderland Appreciation Day is awesome.

When the Raps made it to the ECF all account holders got a really nice framed pic and piece of the court.

TFC doesn’t begin to compare.

[SuperTCP]

TFC won the MLS Cup - and STH did not get anything special.

Columbus gave out a special coin to their fans when they won. :(

...

This still surprises me.

[OgtheDim]

Frankly, I find not getting much in the way of SS perks this year less troublesome then the bad season followed by double digit % increases for some seats.


I'm ok with my pricing for my seat - but it's a strange loyalty approach this not acknowledging the dissappointment up to this point because there is still a potential to make the playoffs while giving big jumps in price to some people.

Yes, same thing happened with the Raps. MLSE has been doing less events for TFC the last few years anyway (since we stopped sucking as badly) and introduced the stupid lottery system.

Worse yet is that if you complain about the lack of perks they’ll do something to “make it better,” but they won’t add any value normally.

How was the evening at the Aquarium tonight, anyone go?

Imagine my anger as I am thoroughly convinced the season was scripted from the beginning for TFC to not make the playoffs. I paid for this crappy year that was done on purpose by the MLSE and MLS.

It was ok. Checked in, walked through the aquarium, lined up for autographs. Seba and Morrow at 6pm, Osorio, Delgado, and DeRosario at 8pm. Met my rep for the first time. No food or drinks or anything. I guess I am... whelmed?

[catz4ever]

I went at 8pm there was a diving show q bit boring and got to meet Osorio and Delgado a oil disapponted I feel considering there’s 4 events total one of the main players should be at each don’t get me wrong I love Osorio not a fan of Delgado though I thought they would at least give a juice/pop and a snack but oh well the only thing I really enjoyed was going there when it’s almost empty

[Globetrotter]

$5 to see the aquarium, which was pretty cool to see (though unless the creatures are in rehab, they should be in the wild)
Money is supposed to go to charity
Very short lineup to meet Gio and Morrow

In. Out. Worth it for $5 and an hour of time if you're already downtown.

[lintberg]

I enjoyed it, the aquarium entry alone is usually $28 for $5 for charity is great! Met and took pictures with Morrow and Seba! Asked Seba if he is playing Saturday and he said Yes! So that's good news!!

[Areathrasher]

Yeah, great I didn't catch that either. Don't worry, I was in my work clothes which includes my Red Bull hat. Let's just say I got roasted on twitter for it ahaha.

But yeah would have been good to know.

It could have been communicated better, it was a bit of a weird event, I signed up as I've always wanted to see the aquarium and figured this would be a good chance to see it without many kids around. There was a full bar so you could walk around with a drink but no drink tickets like past years events, a glass of red was 8 bucks. They had some signs thanking members for support through out and put a diver with a sign and soccer ball in one of the aquariums. The autograph table had a big line and at the end of the tour they had the voyageurs cup that you could get a picture with. It would have been nice to have Seba, Jozy and Bradley signing at all the time slots, I like Marky and Oso but not quite the same as a DP. It must have cost them a bit to rent the place, not sure how many tickets they issued but it wasn't rammed or anything. I enjoyed seeing the aquarium but wouldn't feel bad if I missed it.
