    I'd be disappointed if it was more than regular price! Premium price at the most. Why you talkin' about "double" Flats?

    This would be unplanned revenue...a bonus...extra unexpected cash in the kitty.

    They'd really be snubbing their noses at fans and supporters if they decided to pull a Toronto Maple Leafs and completely sell their souls to the devil.

    I agree Roogsy....probably will be premium price tickets I would think. But really as long as they don't try to hose us like the RM game it doesn't matter to me. That will be a hot ticket though, first postseason game in TO history.

    They have rates online for how much you pay. They're either MLS Premium or MLS playoff, can't remember. Check the TFC website.

    I could see premium prices plus maybe 10-15%, anything more would be a bit much

    There was a charge last year that my old company received, it was then refunded when they didn't make it.

    to close a thread down becuase of a jinx..
    what is TFC.
    Are we talking about talent in the team or superstitions in a team .
    I don't have faith in hell they will make it but i do hope that i am so wrong that i have to eat every word i said.
    They are inconsistent, too much up and down . never know what team decides to come out to play .. CC has to run the roost and what we need is intelligence in the next round of games. smart defence and good striking .. not don't talk about it becuase "i told you so its a jinx"...

    Maybe we could have a poll.
    That way they wil know the maximum they can charge us.
    Or even better they can charge more...then have some "friendly posters" come by and manage our expectations and calm our reactions, knowing full well most will bitch for a day or two then pony up and pay for them.

    does your sarcasm mean you won't be paying for them?

    I wish the RPB site was private for members only.
    I also wish the RPB were more selective in who they allowed to be members.

    As it is....TFC was built on experiential marketing (reason 1a why they do nothing about scalpers in the south end, it allows more people to experience the south end...also reason 1a I'd guess that TiT got so pissed, since that's his gig) and this site is/was used to bridge the gap between games and maintain the experience. Stay connected, prolong the experience.

    So my sarcasm is aimed at the fact that this site is a marketing tool. Full blown with polls (what beer would you like? Would you sit in a north stand? What teams would you like for friendlies, what would you pay for tickets, how would you improve the game day experience) and customer service reps who swing by to answer questions, put out fires and manage expectations.

    I won't complain directly about what PB does, it's his franchise, not a club. That's been made very clear this year (even if they purposely blurred the lines to get us hooked). I will however, until I give up or am banned here, continue to make little comments here and there to hopefully give some of the more naive people that post here an idea of the implications of their posts. Having the front office lead people around by the nose isn't cool.

    That's the long answer.

    Short answer...I hope I'm wrong but I fear this whole discussion is a moot point.

    MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

    Nope. Its 100% (maybe 99.9%) the other way...

    Season ticket holders have the first chance to purchase they're tickets, normally at a higher cost...

    if you think that polls are made by tfc-staffers, you're kidding yourself.
    Most of the polls are made by bored guys with no current matches to talk about.
    Sure they (staffers) probably read the things posted here, because it's an open and public forum.

    I was just wondering why you were taking such a nagative tone about it.
    I'd be happy to pay to see my team in the playoffs, but certainly not at any cost.

    Are playoff games home and away? If not, we may not even have a home game for the playoffs.

    ...just saying...

    Making the playoffs is all about going to the away games for me. If ML$E gouge us over the home games, all the easier for me to justify going to the away games instead.


    Having said that, I would expect the home gmes to be resonable this year, with a major jump in next years season ticket prices to follow if TFC do well. Especially as there are 32 trillion, bajillion people gagging to take your tickets if you dont renew......lol.

    The emperor has no clothes......
