As a MLS season ticket holder we are being given the privlage to pruchase advance tickets to the Copa America. Who here as a TFC SSH who is buying their tickets? I think it is important to support this great event and show that North America is truely ready for the beautiful game on the big stage.

Might have considered it but already heading to France to catch a few Euro 2016 games. Not to mention the $ would have made it a tough choice.
Is North America Truly ready to be invited to another regions event?
No. I will not be looking at attending or watching this event.
Wait. If you want to link a TFC player scoring a goal, go for it. I may watch that but this tourney has no credibility for me when they invite some nations to play for the hell ($$$) of it.
$$$ are being spent to go to vancouver for our national teams game in march... and hopefully none will need to be spent to see them in september (other than GO train, ticket and beer)
It is not uncommon, Brazil has played in the Gold Cup in the past. Just wanted to point that out.Quote:

An America's cup is more interesting anyways since it ties in other Latin American countries as well. If anything the gold cup is a weak and less popular tournament.
Neither do I.Quote:

Well I find the Euro more interesting so why not play in that?Quote:

I'm more intrigued to see how/if SA teams beat up on CONCACAF teams - Mexico wants a result in this one big time.
Already spending a crapload on an Asia trip, and I want to hit up a few TFC away matches.

would send a message if the entire end zone was empty during part of a game. Certainly wouldn't look good on tv.
I tickets to the three US games for $270. Looking forward to San Francisco/Santa Clara, Chicago and Philadelphia. Going to be a fun week of footy. I do agree sports ticket pricing has gotten crazy at times but until a major event takes a real hit financially I am affraid the course will continue. In some situations their have been signs of some push back from the ticket buying public but I don't think it has had enough of an effect. In reality it is the corporate dollars that drive sports bottom line for the most part these days and that will continue.Quote:
