I'm glad the banding experiment across the East bowl has been unsuccessful. Less likely to band the Upper West side.
Should just mirror the west.

Yes, in hindsight the FO got the pricing all wrong. Should have value priced them this season, then once roof/canopy/thingy is on, people there might be willing to pay more.Quote:

Indeed, I was worried they would transfer the new East pricing to the West (with some kind of transition period or "loyalty" BS). That would screw me up, I'm in light grey in the West. I was even hoping to move down a bit closer, at the same price, at a relocation (but didn't manage to do that for this year). Doesn't look like they will be able to do that anytime soon.
Overall I'm still worried what will happen if TFC starts winning consistently. Is there enough demand for close to 30k of expensive seats in Toronto, even if the team does well?
Yes, but not sure about expensive part though.Quote:

It sure wasn't built for Argos or concerts either.Quote:

Whole things changes with a roof next season. Atmosphere will be enhanced, which will draw people.
I'm torn in that I'd like to see more people show up.
But then even as TFC continues to win, there has to be some effort by MLSE to get bums in the seats. That will dampen down the "well we won a lot so the price is going up a lot" thinking.
Maybe a little. Or maybe not.Quote:

O well ... at least my "Ransom Pack" tickets for the Marlies got used by RPB members in the end.
Dropping the partial pack saved me a bundle but not living in Toronto meant it was/is still not a spur of the moment decision to attend TFC matches.
Now that we have an NASL club here I am taken back to the early days of TFC support ... a small dedicated enthusiastic crew who just love the game and want to be a part of it with other like minds. Sure the football is not exactly top drawer but the camaraderie certainly is.
Plus you have a nice little group of TFC alumni on the Fury to support !!Quote:

Great to have them with us in Section W at Lansdowne Park.
I will be back up in Ottawa for sure this season, had such a great time in The W last season !!Quote:
