I agree with pretty much everyone else...poor timing, overpriced, even at, $50 for my seats. Sandwiched in between two Saturday games, yikes.

If this game costs MLSE nothing, I got no issue with it. Its now part of the game over here. If there is an injury, well that could have just as easily happened at training so that's just the randomness of life.
As the price of going, including a mid week evening jaunt with the usual slight grogginess I experience the next morning, does not match the entertainment value of the game, I won't be going.
On another note, I hope we get this friendly in May because we chose not to have one in July.
I suspect we are going to see a lot more of these friendlies now that we have the bigger stadium. Potentially big $$$ for MLSE
Yep this is how I feel about it. Complete crap.Originally Posted by Phil
Friendlies are bad enough but putting it in the middle of a run of games like that with the demand that our top stars play atleast 45 mins or so is bad, terrible, and a fucking farce.
Nevermind the price that will probably keep regular SSH away, hope they think they can fill that building with non regular fans at the prices there asking for. Jeez.
If SSH price in the south is $50 per ticket I would imagine they would be $80+ by the time the public gets a chance to purchase.
I really can't see the demand for this game being more than 10,000 people at those prices.
I will be going as its my dad's birthday around that time and my parants are out in the country most weekends. I always like seeing the younger players get a run out anyways.

Yes but not having to share gate receipts with the league and a brand new stadium probably means #getusedtoit
I just heard that this is one of two friendlies that TFC play this year.
Or MLSE is setting expectations for these meaningless games to be in May and not July with the potential arrival of the Argos and that team playing games in July...
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

We get 2 free friendlies with Sunderland from the Altidore/Defoe swap, so you can probably bank on them being it.
We are so playing Sunderland in July...
Pricing for the game, season ticket price $50 - $134 and general price $65 to $174.

That would be hilarious on so many levels, would be fun just to see what the reactions would be, pacifiers being thrown on the field in honour of mama's big baby.

Hmmmm......when did 123 become "The Rogers Club"?
I can easily see this game having a huge demand... prices are actually lower than i thought they would be, does nobody remember the real madrid friendly in 09, prices started from $120 each i think.
The Rogers Club has been there since day one, seats in 123 have always had access.

If they go down, that would be some selling job to get people to go.
"Come see Sunderland......at least they're not Blackpool"
I'd rather go to see us play Sunderland if I had to choose.
God knows who would go, though.
cant they invite two relatively big euro teams, charge more, and make bigger bucks?
127 seems to have disappeared
here i thought we were actually going to try and make a go at the playoffs and not waste our time on meaningless friendlies, sacrificing the canadian cup and cramming yet another game into an already clogged schedule that sees us playing 8 games in a month.
Looks like after the kings moved out of there they combined 126 and 127 into one medium grey section, thus bumping up a lot of the seats one price point.

that hasn't happened - you can still buy single game tickets in that section
Most likely reserved for traveling support.
Which gets me to thinking if they will make 127 the new 'away' section at BMO instead of crappy 104?
No away will move to upper west stand, 127 was being sold off and still had a decent number of non kings stay.
Great take by one of the finest soccer writers the Washington Post`s Steve Goff on this sceme that is friendlies vs. big name clubs when it simply is not convinient.

I have a good friend, whom I owe more than a couple of favors to, is looking for three near the tunnel, any chance that anyone here has seasons in the club seats near the tunnel who isn't going?
Dishing out enough money to TFC this year. $50 x 4 is money I will spend elsewhere this year. Would have to be a team I really want to see here to pay for a friendly but the teams I would pay extra to see probably would never come over.
Yeah, just add an unnecessary game in a busy month. Great idea....
