    I keep insisting on that too. The latest is that next week they will have some available, but that "preferred" seats will be held until the new year when relocation happens. Basically that means the new seats on sale to the public next week are not preferred. Which is contrary to us having first choice. It seems to me they are trying to secure as many new deposits as possible and dicking us around with what's available when.

    FWIW, I saw a Groupon this morning for Raptor tickets, so while they might be doing better than usual, it still seems like there may be tickets to throw at TFC fans to entice renewals.

    No email from my rep so far. According to the original one, today is the day for notice of "select a seat" appointment time.
    As for Raptors tickets, I'd probably sell mine. Nothing against them, just not "my bag"

    I would be shocked if they give Raptor tickets away.

    So far, Raptors have sold most of their games and today's game is already sold out. Also, prices on secondary market for Raptor tickets went up dramatically this year so it tells me demand for Raptors is there now.

    I am not sure MLSE is willing to give 16,000 Raptor tickets away to us this time around.

    Greeting red patch boys!

    How does select a seat by phone work? This will be my first time buying season tickets and I simply put down my $50 deposit and just got an email to be ready 10 min prior to my selection time by the phone. No seat map or anything showing what is available etc. Do I need to be at BMO field or is this just done over the phone?

    It's odd that they are allowing new SSHs to select seats prior to the existing SSHs doing their relocation, especially if all the new areas are up for grabs.

    That.

    Answer: new SS bring in more dough than renewals. Sell as many new tickets as possible, then worry about the rest.

    They've done this kind of thing before. They will make 'select' seats available to the new people that want to be SSH's and they will hold back most of the more popular sections for the SSH renewal and relocation. The last time they did this they made the more expensive seats the ones available mostly to the new people with some scattered light grey in there and no supporter seats if I recall correctly. I am assuming the same will happen again this time because they wouldn't screw over their SSH base even if they make more money off of new buyers. Just my assumption based on past behaviour. I think the only people getting to pick anywhere will be the current SSH's being moved due to the construction.

    The whole top east section should be available to the new SSH - that should give the spectrum of light grey to red, assuming they don't do the smart thing and make the place people see on TV cheaper.

    Why does it feel like MLSE is trying to be sneaky?

    Every… EVERY… other team in our Eastern Conference has published their season ticket prices for folks to be able to make informed decisions as to their purchase. Didn't have time to do the West but I'd wager a similar picture exists there. Not TFC though.

    Montreal - http://www.impactmontreal.com/en/con...de-saison-2015
    New York - http://www.newyorkredbulls.com/earlybird
    New England - http://www.revolutionsoccer.net/tick...season-tickets
    Columbus - http://www.thecrew.com/sites/columbu...condwindow.pdf
    Philadelphia - http://www.philadelphiaunion.com/tic...on-ticket-plan
    DC - http://tickets.dcunited.com/pdf/2015-season-pricing.pdf
    Sporting KC - SOLD OUT
    Houston - http://www.houstondynamo.com/tickets
    Chicago - http://www.chicago-fire.com/tickets/...g-and-benefits


    Looks like they are asking for deposits up front. Selling new season tickets first without giving those new people the chance to pick up on seats that aren't renewed. And once again, doing all this without releasing pricing information.

    There might be great business reasons but EVERY team in the Eastern Conference has been upfront with their fans as to the commitment they are asking of them. If there ever was an organization that needs to be transparent, it's TFC. Why the need to hold information back?

    Good points. The early bird pricing info Monday, and, actual seat availability will be interesting. Much as I'd like to have seasons, I have no problem not signing up and using my two deposits towards single games. There will NOT be a scarcity of tickets available next season...I guarantee it, lol.

    Well before it was the secretive cautious OTPP.

    Now its the "we want to bamboozle you with unimportant splashy information while you overpay for stuff we don't pay all that much for" Bogers.

    ^ it also sounds like new ticket holders will have a 10 (or so) minute window to make a purchase decision before they move on to the next one. Sort of like buying gas contracts at the door. Asking for a contract without time to research all the options.

    That sucks.

    Looks like the section exits are taking up aisle seats. Hopefully, they will offer you seats where the current exits that go down are going to be filled in.

    Would have thought they'd push the boat out for anyone who has lost their seat(s). Quite looking forward to pricing announcement and intend going through all the others in advance (excellent list thanks). As another day oner I expect a red carpet to be rolled out! Never mind a raffle for early birds - free stuff. Keep the raptors tickets or whatever, there must still be loads of "BMO" gear - National Sports has plenty (Player t-shirts for $35!). No survey this year has me worried, could they be so dumb as to up the prices? ANY INCREASE and I'm out (is that too late for the Front Office to change those prices?).

    The season seat renewal site is up. Looks like pricing is the same for people renewing. Good move.

    I'm so glad the club level attendees will have a better game day experience. That's certainly my number one concern. FFS.

    Still waiting for the email for new season seat pricing, and, availability will be interesting. They are already showing new sections as "sold out"?!

    Oh I HATE this:

    At the beginning of last season, we promised you that renewal pricing would be tied to the team's performance. With that commitment in mind, we are pleased to tell you that you will be able to renew your season seats by December 15th for the same price as last season.
    If this team ever starts winning, we are in for a nasty price increase. I don't like how they spelled it out so bluntly.

    Thanks for posting.

    good work on TFC's part to hold prices.

    and yeah, I agree with Phil.
    they are totally going to hammer us when the team finally does well.

    Looks to me like they are going to try to sell new season seat purchasers medium grey pricing or higher. Funny how the three low price points are all marked sold out already. Hmmm

    There's no way those Black sections are sold out.
    I wonder if they are being held until after the renewal and released during relocation.
