they'll be in my row... right next to me.

let the TFC front office know. If they are season ticket holders they will have them taken away.

This is why the specific seats are rarely mentioned in these types of posts

I have paid that kind of money to get in... I hate to be part of the problem but sometimes there's no choice.

The best way to get tickets is to befriend a current season ticket holder, and then have him send you a link to the super-secret website for STH's who want to sell individual season tickets.

I got two seats in Section 108 for $140, at the FC Dallas match.

Maybe because he wants to support his team in person? Give him credit for that.

send the info to MLSE and demand they do something. If enough people email, they'll cancel the tickets. Dont forget to let them know to keep your info on file and to contact you as you'll buy them for next year (if you're interested) Tell them you want someone to follow up with you to let you know if they are acting on it.

sure.

but i'm not gonna give someone credit for supporting scalpers like that. no choice..... please. you always have a choice with scalpers, you either buy from them or you don't. that's the choice.

i'm not a season ticket holder and i've been to 4 games this season and haven't paid more than face value other than the ticketfast surcharge. and i'm going to a 5th game because i did someone a favour and they want to take me as a sign of appreciation (i didn't even ask)

three things...

1. in row 13, there is no seat 14. the row only has 13 seats.
2. i am the seat holder for seat 12 and 13, row 13, 112.
3. i sold my ticket for that game on RPB forums... and now its being resold at twice the price?

looks like we got hustlers in the rpb ticket exchange...

That really pisses me off. Those tickets could have gone to someone who really wants to support the team instead of some ass who resells them to a elderly couple form St. Johns. You still know who you sold them to? Report their ass.

yea i still got the guys e-mail, but i have a feeling the tickets being sold on craigslist are actually in row 14 (always randoms from what i remember in seat 13 + 14) and that the row 13 is a typo... how can he sell a pair of tickets with one of the seats that doesnt physically exist?

That's bull. Although, how do you know the person who baught is the one reselling them on craigslist. They could have sold it to someone for face, and then that second buyer is now reselling them. EIther way that sucks (if it's not a type).

That shit really yanks my chain....I had to settle for season tickets in 226 (which is a great view of the whole pitch) but wanted to have my voice heard with the true supporters....and to hear and see the people who dont belong there sets me off...when its time for renewal in October will I get a chance to switch my seats closer to the actual supporters? who makes that decision (rep?) if so, i havent got any replies back from mine....I also heard a while back that a lot of the ticket reps got canned.....how can I contact them to get some answers?

Maybe the scalper put slightly inaccurate information on the Craigslist post in case a bunch people email the FO demanding the tickets get canceled...

looks like theres nothing we can do when you factor in

a) innocent person sold them at face to a scalper
b) scalper puts wrong seat number in description

dude beer garden! its so worth being on the list :), or having ST in a crap section, lost of ppl from other sections stand there for entire matches.

the dude selling is such a wanker, making over an hundred off the backs of the supporters :eek: (lol i wish 117 had better atmosphere, i could make a mint :D )

Sonny what do you think the tone of my message was? I'm not asking for sympathy. I'm not a STH, but I've been to many games over two years, most of the time not paying over face, or for free. However I was never able to get into 112, so for one game I decided to take the sure bet and purchased through Stubhub. I suppose I could have, you know, not come to the game, or not sat in the supporter's section, but that's not what I wanted. Give me a break for wanting to support my team.

You could always use the contact e-mail for his employers office, which is:

bpenney@wbresearch.com

Then inform them that their associate is using his work e-mail address to engage in wrongful activities, such as ticket speculation.

sure you wanted to support your team. but don't say you didn't have a choice to pay the price you did.

glad you only did it once!

sorry if i offended you. but i don't like that you said you have no choice.

you don't need to pay those prices to support your team. that's my point. don't act like you don't have a choice is all.

again, i apologize. i didn't mean to offend you.

Tickets to Toronto FC vs New England Revolution Aug 23rd @ BMO Field in Toronto 7:30pm

I have a pair of tickets side by side in Section 115 row 17 (sold)

Seats are behind the net in the supporters area

$125 per pair

Can meet in front of Princess Gates CNE Saturday

These are original TFC season tickets not printed copies

Also, Free Admission to CNE with these tickets
This is so discouraging to a fan like myself who watches every game on tv but cant get into the stadium because douches are charging that much above face...

I'm pretty sure I saw someone register yesterday with the exact same last name. Used his email address as his username lol. I'll have a quick look.

Can't find it... probably because he hasn't posted or made any threads yet. Maybe a mod could have a look? I'm almost 100% sure the email was a rogers.com address.
