Should ML$E tarp off the new deck

[RealG-TFC]

The new upper deck on the east side is priced completely different than the one of the west side. In some cases the comparable seats are three prices category. They may have missed on the pricing somewhat here, just like they did for the first season of the north stand, which was mostly empty until it was adjusted to a lower price. Time will tell for sure, but no way it gets tarped over regardless of the situation.

Meanwhile, for the Gold Cup:

if your outside the southstands, don't really see any need to buy season tickets anymore.
you can basically buy the cheapest seats single game and move down into any section u want.

why would they trap off the new deck ? thats basically admitting they wasted money by adding it.. MLSE will never do that. I don't blame people for not showing up to fill it anyways. the team has never made the playoff.. if TFC makes the play offs that place will be jam pack.

Who will ever forget the great goals by Weids and Jonathan in the rain. But to be honest in regards to tarps, I am sure a bunch of tickets have been sold up there, so I just do not see them being able to do it.

You can thank Andy Welsh who started the trend.

That upper deck is for CFL fans - it wasn't built for soccer. Seems crazy to have expanded the stadium without regular full houses causing pressure.

if we get a result tommorow, and if it's a nice day on the 20th, I bet we get close to capacity against NYCFC.

Uh, no.

There are solid blocks of people up there.

And the sound is better because of it.

Maybe.

Wouldn't that be ironic though if it wasn't full for the playoffs? Wonder what MLSE would do? Their whole model is about getting DPs and "proving they can pay for them" (Tim Leiweke). Playoffs and ticket scarcity are the path to increases.

I think if the team keeps playing the way they are then more and more people will come out to games at the stadium. Another problem is how ML$E priced the new stands, I wouldn't pay that much for those seats

If this team keeps playing like this the city is going to bust a nut all over that stadium.

It'll be sold out for the foreseeable future.

Expect ticket prices to go up next year.

I'm moving downtown next week. I don't have cable so I'll be watching every game at the bar or the stadium, and that depends on prices.

Keep your eye on the ticket trader thread....
