"There are some people who might have better technique than me, and some may be fitter than me, but the main thing is tactics. With most players, tactics are missing. You can divide tactics into insight, trust, and daring." - Johan Cruyff

The last game of the season I spoke to maybe a half dozen people in my section (121). Not a single one planned to renew, and didn't care about the price drop. They wanted to see some tangible hope in the off season that there was any kind of future for the team. I bet the supporters seats have done extremely well - at $190, why not renew? But I think they will have trouble in other sections.
The price drop only buys the club 1 more season to try to fix this mess.
I know its still early, but I've yet to see anything that shows that this front office is serious about changing for the better. Its all just more of the same.
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
Now that the seasonhas ended, each day that goes by that I don't learn that Mariner (at least) and Cochrane have been releived of duties, is another reason to chuckle to myself about the prospects for next year.
If Mariner survives to have any type of input into TFC for 2013, I suggest changing the club motto to 'How Low Can We Go ?'.

a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
Renewals are not going well....
email from TFC:
Treat! We've just added an additional Early Renewal prize for Season Seat Holders!
Any account who has renewed their 2013 Toronto FC season seats by the Friday, November 9th early renewal deadline will receive a pair of complimentary lower bowl Toronto Raptors tickets to a game in November.
If you've already renewed your seats for 2013, then you're all set! Look for a follow-up email during the week of November 12th with further details on how to claim your tickets. Tickets will be randomly assigned to accounts, with no exchanges.

Lower bowl raptors seats aren't hard to come by for free. Just last week at the Raptors party, they were giving away so many lower bowl seats to the November 4th game.
hey belfast boy, willing to concede any that Mr Anselmi is a master of bullshit yet?
Excuse me but WTF? As early as the last week there were those saying renewals were strong and we were all boohooing how Mariner was defo gonna be in next year etc because of it.
Now it looks to be the opposite. Surprise, surprise. I asked more than once about sources for those "good renewal rates" and got bupkiss.

The funny thing is that its not even a prize. EVERYBODY that renews by the 9th gets a pair of tickets.
Note they didn't give free Marlies tickets... raises too many unpleasant memories for a lot of us.
Personally, I'll wait until they give me a free Kia for renewing.

I guess that new dynamic pricing the Raptors are using isn't working too well.
So if I get my new free jersey and take up this offer too. Doesn't that make my pair of south end ticket almost free? LOL.
Exactly, owning a sports team is close to being the Federal Reserve in the US.
Print a rectangular peice of paper, put a value on it. Profit.
They are trying to print money, how about you earn money you fucks.
It wouldn't surprise me if this isn't even the last sweetener to try to get people to renew.
I can't see too many fence sitters changing their mind over this.
How about Tickets to the Marlies! At least they win games!!!!!
I know a lot of the stuff in here is negative about the promotion for the Raps tickets but I don't mind since I like going to Raps games. I tend to get lucky and they win when I go and lots of times I come away with free pizza the next day. Anyhow, I don't mind the promotion because I was going to renew my south end seats for one more year. If anyone can't use their free pair they get please let me know because I would love to bring my kids to a game in the lower bowl and usually way out of my price range. Thanks.
This is great guys, keep up the non-renewals or at least wait as long as possible if you're going to. This is our disapproval.
And let's not lump the Raptors with TFC for their sake, TFC is an unmatched level of futility and incompetence.
