Renewing or Not Renewing
So who's going to pay the piper to do this dance again next year?
In the beginning it was hard to get tickets. as the years went by it becames easier and a lot cheaper. this year I've finally got seasons tickets. I've even found it impossible to give away extras. do I really need to pay out now when I can get them at anytime..... hmmm
i'm out.
I'm in because $360 isn't a lot of cash for me to drop and I think it's not an unreasonable cost for the seat. That being said I think a drop to around $300 per seat would be a decent show of respect to the long suffering supporters because fuck me, they have to do something. But back on topic, the way I see it, I would probably spend just as much if I were to watch all the matches at the Pub anyway and at least down there I know people and they are actually interested in the Match/Sport.
A lot of it depends on whether my buddy (the actual owner of the seat that I buy) decides to renew. I only buy the one seat in 112, and I make it to nearly every game...of course, I could get cheaper tickets other ways...
I don't know, but I do like to dance.
Toronto 'til I die - but I think they're trying to kill me.
My financial situation hit me pretty hard this year especially towards the end of the summer so I don't think I will renew even though I love my seat location and all the perks that go with my current location that you don't get in other parts of the stadium. If I could find someone to buy the seasons from me and I keep the rights I would do it to keep the seats because I should have corrected my situation by next year but considering the fact that I couldn't even give away the few pairs that I didn't use this year it doesn't bode well for that plan. If they dropped the price significantly I may be able to manage but I doubt there will be a drop. Sad time for me cause I make it to almost every game right now and will miss having my same seats. I will just have to pick some tickets up next year as the season goes probably if the price is right. I will continue to bug my friends to join in on the season tickets with me in the meantime and you never know, I may be able to convince someone to split them.
Hey we will talk at the next game. It will all work out I can't lose my neighbourOriginally Posted by Joe Kool
Ok Mike. I was going to talk to you about it next game anyhow. See you then.Hey we will talk at the next game. It will all work out I can't lose my neighbour
not.
i'm not going to any games next season.
not because i don't want to.
not because i don't own the seats.
not because it's too expensive.
not because i don't support the team anymore.
im gonna be moving to france as of january
going to theatre school there until august. hooray!
doesn't answer the question one bit, but that'll explain my absence.
what's the French word for "couch for me to crash on" ?im gonna be moving to france as of january
going to theatre school there until august. hooray!
I'm definitely keeping my seats in 112.
I'll probably relocate my expensive seats into somewhere less brutally priced. Certainly there will be options with all the non-renewals.
I still enjoy going to games. The live experience is certainly more enjoyable than watching away games on TV. Those games are the first casualty of someone losing interest

a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
I'm in the dark greys in section 121 - the ones that Pookie's analysis showed were amongst the most overpriced at BMO compared to most other MLS stadiums. At a minimum I would need to see a price drop comparable to the one Montreal gave its fans. If not, I'll be downgrading for sure, if I keep any seats at all. I'm really on the fence right now.
nope, i'm out as well.
I'm waiting to vote on this poll, haven't decided yet about renewing my pair of medium-grey season tickets, but I'm not confused. The prospects are looking VERY bleak at the moment. For me it depends partly on the season ticket renewal offer; price freeze definitely isn't enough. The Anselmi reward for failure definitely lowered my chances of renewing. I was also waiting to hear if they hire a respectable team president for TFC, but I can't imagine anyone capable being shoe-horned between Anselmi & Mariner, if it's already been decided that they're both staying. And now the latest rumour that Cochrane might slither into some role like that.... YHGTBFKM!
Things are really hanging by a thread. So sad. Not interested in downgrading my seats -- the only real reason to renew is some nice neighbours in Section 225. I think they will either renew in the same spot, or not renew at all. No reason for me to grab cheaper season tickets though. In that case it's easier to grab cheap seats when I need them, I sometimes only need a single instead of a pair, or none at all. Lately it's been impossible to sell (or sometimes even give away) spare tickets. W/o seasons, I expect I'll be going & watching much less often, life gets in the way when you're not tied in via season tickets. Why bother scheduling everything around TFC games, like my wife & I have been doing for the last couple of years?
So sad...

i'm waiting to see if they overhaul the management and put in a real soccer president (i.e. NOT Earl Cochrane) with knowledge of the game and a new coach combined with reduced pricing - ok, what am i thinking, i guess i'm not renewing!!
It's too early for this thread... we don't even know next year's prices yet!
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
My thoughts exactly.
If you are in the situation where you could renew ... How can you decide until they have made you an offer and you can then weigh the cost/benefit??
That was what I did this year ... and will do again next season.
It all comes down to whether you feel the cash outlay is good value for the entertainment/experience received.
WORST HOME RECORDS
#1 = Chivas @ 3-8-2 (11 points)
#2 = TFC @ 3-7-3 (12 points)
#18 = Impact @ 10-3-2 (32 points)
There is no entertainment value with such a miserable home record.
WORST HOME GOALS
Chivas = 8
TFC = 13
(Note: Montreal = 31)
WOW! We score an average of 1 goal per game at home. Lots of fun for the home fans!
CONCLUSION
There is no price/entertainment value ratio that could make any sense for me with these stats and 6 Seasons of shit results!

Your constant comparisons to Montreal, our only rival to some, is getting suspicious. Either you are trolling we Toronto supporters and need to stop using the term "we" or you are trying to support two teams at once.

Hey OT, I like having a poll now - it gives us an idea of who has already made up their mind - who is unlikely to be swayed by mastercard promos, watches, socco and free beer!
Having these numbers now will allow everyone to see the effect of the upcoming season ticket holder campaign. It is too early for many to decide "yes or no", but not too early for the poll. The TFC FO appears to be battling for the minds and wallets of the 27% of undecided folk, like yourself!
This poll should be closed off as soon as the Front Office marketing campaign kicks in with pricing, town halls, new philosophies, new coach, new players etc. Then rerun the poll a few days into their ticket flogging extravaganza...

It was leaked a while ago. Same as 2011, unless there are some more expensive sections that will see reductions.

SSH since day one. Travel to Florida for preseason. I want us to win, but I also want to watch entertaining football. I hated Prekiball, and I am not enjoying the way Mariner has us playing. I think I would rather pick and choose the games I go to next year. Hopefully some more WCQ games. My seats are almost two grand for the pair, and they are not worth it. I can see us winning more games next season, but still being relatively crap, and still playing very boring football. Had a real hard time giving away my tix for the game on Wednesday against Chicago.
Kinda early for this poll considering the options haven't been sent out yet. I voted confused as it's the only "I'm on the fence" equivalent
if anyone is waiting for a discount then they are in for a long wait. remember who we are dealing with here.
for
^ fraid so,..apparently won't happen , rumour is, it is already decided for next year and too late...............Anselmi , FO, and Mariner ...why us,...cash your cheques and fook #$#.
ALL HELL'S BROKEN LOOSEhttp://gfycat.com/SharpKindArrowana
no for me
the atmosphere is gone and the quality isnt good enough for me.
infact, ive grown impatient with MLS as a whole. I tried supporting it, but its just too mickey mouse.
Depends on whay my friends and relatives decide. We have 12 seats we share. They are not too happy and it has been hard to give away extra seats this year, etc. Hopefully TFC makes some changes soon and offers STH a crazy deal or else I fear many will leave.

I have 2 dark greys in 224. At over $1900 for both I am now done......
sat in 114 for YEARS now and i'm out. I'll watch on TV and i enjoy MLS as a league, but fundamentally, the prices are too high for the quality on the field and the players are we watching.
MLS needs to step in and sort out TFC PRONTO, otherwise i bet this team could get moved in 4-5 years time with the incredible drop in attendance and fan excitement.
I will be renewing for sure, BMO is a special place to be, cheering on the Reds. It is to each their own on what they decide to do but I think sticking with it through the hard times will make it even sweater when they get better.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
