Was I seeing things or did i just see a ad from Tfc for seasons for 2021? Not sure if I would jump on this as we don’t know when we will be allowed to be back in bmo let alone how many ppl. Also it is funny how it took soooo long to get refunds and how quick they are to sell start selling this. Some ppl I know still havnt got their refunds yet. They said a that mlse was mailing them a cheque. I’m all for sports and going to games and being a fan but I mean this is just very poor taste from them. We are going into problably a second wave, refunds took along time, and I’m know a lot of ppl who just are making the income they use to and had to give their seasons up cuase it’s just hard times. Like does mlse know something we don’t about covid. Are we going back to Normal in March 2021?

What’s ur thoughts everyone ?

Maybe the new SSH ticket package will come with a mask or a full hazmat? It is all very presumptuous - large gatherings will be allowed, cross border travel will be uninhibited, fans and supporters will be so starved they'd be willing to attend.

I don't see a miracle happening where we wake up during a balmy spring chinook and it has just disappeared in time for kick off. At this stage - I predict in March we will be continuing masking, distancing, remote work for those who can, restricted cross border travel, and large gatherings verboten - until we have consistently low case across the continent (possible) a vaccine and enough people agree to take it (a far reach), easily completed and widespread self testing (wishful thinking).

If they're allowed crowds next year - and there are still distancing rules (which I assume there will be) - I don't know how you accommodate current season tickets holders let alone single game ticket sales never mind new season ticket holders.

No one is saying we're going to be beyond the virus by March, so this is a little silly to me.

Haha. I was thinking the same thing. Opportunity here for them to get creative with a COVID gameday kit instead of a scarf or as an add on. TFC member reusable masks and sanitizer.....or maybe we can all wear those big clear soccer bubbles that they use for the half time soccer thing. No idea what they are called. :)

I assume that opting for the refund doesn't automatically mean you gave up your seats, right?

The refund was just giving back the money we paid for the season that wasn't played at BMO....if we opted for it. Nothing to do with membership status so correct it does not mean you gave up the seats. The people that opted for the refund would have to pay again for 2021 whereas those that didn't opt for it will have their 2020 payments paid against the 2021 season.

A bit of an insult to those that renewed and let MLSE hold the money.
Essentially giving the same 10% credit for those who will only have to pay down 1% of their seats.
When it comes to handling SSH, this organization has always been clueless.
Honestly would love if there was a comparison league wide of what SSH extras were.

You're absolutely correct. I was one of those who opted to keep my money with MLSE over the course of pandemic and it seems that there was no benefit to doing so.

I opted for the refund, and still waiting for cheque.
I've also received the email for 1% monthly payment and 10% back in credit. Still not enough in my opinion, I may ask to throw in a couple of jersey and i'd consider it. Knowing that i won't see the field until 2022 at the earliest. As i'm sure we all knew 2021 we wouldn't be seeing a packed stadium.
I also received a secondary email of a sales person, that has no clue I have tickets. Asking if i'm interested in buying tickets, while still offering a full refund for next season.
So as far as they are clueless at MLSE...YES THEY ARE.

I'm in the same boat regarding the refund. I called yesterday. The refund cheques were processed on August 24. They were apparently mailed around September 10. He said he's heard from a few of his clients that they received them on Monday. Said I should call back if I don't receive it by Friday.

It definitely should not be taking this long!

I e-mailed my rep about the 1% monthly payment and 10% back in credit. She said the main different benefit of leaving money with TFC was that we remain locked in at lower prices (compared to new tickets) and don't have to pay until January. I'm still comfortable leaving the $ with MLSE since 10% back is a good return, but it's really disappointing that they're giving this to new ticket holders who haven't had to leave money with MLSE for months at this point. My rep said she'll pass my concern on to others, but I don't really expect anything out of this.

It's not that hard to refund transactions. Trust me.

Honestly they need to give a refund plus the interest earned, they basically made free money for just holding your cash, while you could have invested that elsewhere.

Let's see.......MLSE "interest rate" of 10%, or TD's "high interest" savings account with a whopping 0.05%!

I know which one I'd choose :D

I got one, as well. However, I received it at 2:36pm, yesterday, and it said that my exclusive TFC Member invite kicks-off in 1 day, 2 hours, 15 minutes and 44 seconds. This should be sometime after 3:30pm today.

I hope it's not an upgrade to my seats, because, even though I now live halfway between Brockville and Cornwall, I still intend to STAND in 112 as often as I can (making me a 236 mile bastard).

Well they got me wondering what it could possibly be anyway.

Maybe they are bringing the Sport Chek discount event back or something like that because that happened a couple years back in the fall timeframe. It will likely be a discount or promotion of some kind I would say to Real Sports or some other retailer.

I can't see it being anything to do with the stadium or our seats really because there is no telling when anyone will be back yet and in what way that will happen.

Hey maybe they will drive a bunch of us down to Hartford for a game. Not likely. I could see them maybe giving a free viewing party in your cars to watch the game on their big screen and the countdown is for the RSVP for it. I could see them thinking that was a big deal but I would rather not leave my couch and big screen at home to drive all the way downtown to sit in my car and try to watch a game while staying socially distant from fellow fans. Not me anyway....

Not if they are talking about people being in the stands as they have for the final four games. I guess they could do cuts outs down low and have the people higher in the stands.

Those that got the refund did not give up their seats and we able to renew with same seats at same price freeze and was giving a 10% food credit. You did not have to pay anything until January. So really no difference if you got the refund or told them to keep it. The only difference is that if you have more dollars than cents during this covid time than sure its ok to tell them to keep it. If you don't have more dollars than cents and could have used the refund to do something else than you could have waited a month to get your refund (if it was check in the mail) and Still keep your spot and not make any decisions till January. Either way it was poorly handled but business is business i guess. I/m sure I'm not the only one who was frustrated by this. I would also like to see what the other clubs in MLS did for SSH

That's the impression I get too, no benefit (to me or the countless others that did it) in keeping the money with MLSE. Of course, there's benefits for MLSE, but not us, the supporters.

To be honest, it's very disappointing and shows how much they value money over loyalty.

I agree. Giving a benefit for our loyalty and carrying money forward should have been unique. Giving it to everyone else as well that joins now is great for those new people but completely negates anything that was supposed to be a special gesture by TFC for the loyalty aspect.

It was a really hard decision because I love going to TFC games. I was spending $3000/yr for season seats.
It is not worth the money in my opinion. The entertainment value is not worth it to me. The best word to describe the games this year is boring.
will the games be more exciting next year? who knows?
That is why I am so happy with myself that I made this decision because it was a tough decision to give up my nice seats but I did and I do not have $300 coming onto my credit card every month. That is the best part, no charge on the credit card every month
I will still go, but when I do go I am sure that I will buy tickets online for 50 cents on the dollar or even if full price I will end up spending less that $3000/yr to see TFC as I will only go to select games.

So Tfc is advertising 10% off plus F&b credit for buying seasons for 2021. What exactly was the benefit for keeping ur money in there and renewing vs getting a refund vs those buying brand new seasons? Weren’t they suppose to make it right. I’m not expecting free tickets but what was the making it right thing. Just seems very we don’t need you ,you need us mentality. Seems a bit of a let down

Not renewing season seats for 2021 that is a no brainer at this time.
Anyone that renewed they're season seats for 2021 clearly made the wrong decision and has to live with their decision.
I don't feel sorry for you though, it's only money.
The question is what would one pay to watch tonight's game at BMO?
If this is what it is going to be like next year at BMO, boring, lifeless football what is a single game worth in dollars?
For me $0.00. I cannot place any monetary value on this sporting spectacle.
That was excruciating to watch.

TFC has treated ssh and especially supporters, like garbage for about 70 percent of its existence.
Going back to the ransom back days. One year light greys went up 47 percent!

The 10 percent offer to new ssh is a joke, considering they're giving those who let them hold the 2020 payment the same.

There are relatively no giveaways or benefits other than a coupon book and a scarf. The free jersey with the BMO renewal was amazing. Get creative. Maybe after 10 years of being a ssh you get a signed photo of Bradley. Would cost team nothing. Do something.

That said, if i dont renew I'll likely never have my supporters seats again. But if i was in any other area I'd likely say forget it. I've never felt valued as an SSH. I've never felt i get extra value than the tourists behind me.

The TFC experience both at home, on the road and anywhere else is what you make of it and not what the club does or does not do. We as a group have been afforded many great experiences over the years especially during the time Tim L was at the helm of MLSE and still do. While this is many cases does not pertain to actually being a SSH, some do. This is a very accessible team and one I will always support as to me its the focus is the 11 men on the pitch.

I would keep the supporters seats as those seats get really close to cost in the aftermarket don’t they?
