Why the hell is MLSE raping us at the box office year after year.
2011 = 100%+ increase for my seats since 2007.

Extra games ? Concacaf Championship matches ?
What happens if we don't qualify, is there a refund with interest paid?

mentioned this elsewhere but the Jays significantly raised prices last year getting rid of "cheap seats" basically. no more twoonie tuesdays, higher priced low end tickets. The attendances this year showed the changes that had been made. Lets not only compare ourselves to things that are happening right now, we need some perspective. I like how the jays are going aout their rebuild, prices had dropped so low they'd become devalued and so they raised them last year so they would have a "real" value, and now they are gona hold the prices and hope for increased revenue through quantity of tickets sold. unlike us they could double their ticket revenue by being good, TFC couldn't. MLSE are a bunch of lying greedy assholes, but this jays thing really doesnt relate to us

awesome. let's compare TFC to yet another extremely different team, and this time a different sport! stop the madness!

its a nice gesture, but as noted above, they really increased prices at the end of last season after trading away the face of the franchise.

already covered in today's news.

As its not TFC news, it doesn't deserve its own thread.
