    I guess this means that hot dogs will now cost $14, and beers $27? not that i ever pay for anything other than the ticket to get in anyways.

    The price is reasonable for me, the effort the FO put in recently to listen really shows.

    I'll be picking up two STs

    I just renewed a single ticket, and I feel pretty good about it.

    I'm just really happy to see this happen.

    I wonder if Jimmy B had a big part to play in this decision. He seems like a "for the fans" kind of voice at the table.

    I somehow don't picture Brennen as having any backbone in the office. He won't go againest the grain on anything for fear of losing his job. Gotta pay for those Louis Vuitton man purses and all.

    Did anybody bring up the Marlies game packs at the Townhall meeting? I felt violated after having to buy that package to get on the Gold waiting list......2 years ago. It will take a lot of price freezes and freebies from MLS to make up for $300 in Marlies tickets I couldn't even sell.

    re marlies packs, I asked paul after one of the first ones, and it came up in the u sector one.

    paul initially tried to go with semantics in that no one was forced to buy them, then he went with he really doesn't want to have to do that, and has argued against them, but he lost. I got the impression that such cross selling is just the way mlse works and will probably continue. hopefully they'll be gone as well, but i doubt it.

    I hope not. I'm disaapointed that he and Cochran were even at these meetings. One of the biggest problems (maybe the biggest problem) TFC has had since it started was mixing the ticket sales and team performance - that's how you get statements like, "We don't need a DP, all the tickets are sold."

    This team really needs to have someone who's only job is putting together a winning team and who's not involved at all in the business end.

    I don't know, out of all the guys at the table, Paul and Tom are MLSE execs, Earl is an MLSE PR guy and Jimmy is the former team captain and a fan favorite who recognizes the importance of support.

    With that said, I do take your point. A lot of the trouble this team encountered was caused by the lack of separation of the church and state when it came to business vs on-field performance.

    No one sees a correlation between Garber just happening to be in town and this "concession"?

    FAIL: I am still forced to pay for [B][I] two Nutrilite Canadian Championship games. So it is up to me to pay for them then try to find someone to buy the tickets from me.
    FAIL: Giving us home opener free? Giving us credit to our account? that is still money in their pocket instead of me having the cash in my pocket to pay my bills.
    FAIL: Price freeze for 2012? Prices are high as it is so they are doing us a favor by not increasing the prices in 5th year?

    Rest of promises are just words and don't mean anything. I have heard enough talk and bullshit from FO. i am still dropping 3 tickets.
    I am sure someone is going to tell me I am wrong but then there are people who would argue with their own shadow just for sake of argument.
    peace and out

    ^ if TFC is playing in the Canadian Championships, why is having a ticket to that an issue?

    I'm absolutely shocked that we are getting the home opener for free! It's not like I honestly care about the additional $20.00 that I would have spent on that one game but the fact that MLSE is willing to bite the bullet on the revenue that game would have generated is unbelievable...

    It is. If you ever want Leafs platinum ST's you'll need to pick up platinum Raptors ST's as well.

    Let me just say... Is this only about renewing at the cheapest possible $$$?

    I didn't get to attend the town hall meetings in person, but it sounds like they finally heard what was being told to them.

    This letter was their last hope to get people renewing, something tells me that this may be a stronger reason why they released this letter today.

    For sure.
    Would LOVE to see what the renewal numbers were.

    Between me and my 3 buddies, we account for 10-12 people on the waiting list. I'm sure that others also signed up multiple times. Not to mention that I'm sure the majority of the people on the list are people who simply want cheaper seats when they become available.

    This should make it very interesting for the tail end of next season.
    If they can put out a decent team and make the playoffs, everyone will think the price freeze for 2012 is a bargain.

    If TFC shits the bed once again and officially becomes the worst team in MLS history with no playoffs in 5 years, then it wont matter anyway, the place will look like thr Lynx are back......

    This ongoing TFC saga should be on daytime TV...in Spanish!
