I guess I was one of the lucky ones who managed to get 2 tickets during pre-sale(Section 209) so I'm well pumped for Saturday now!
I absolutely hate scalpers. Why are they allowed to openly sell tickets at above face value on the street outside stadiums? It wouldn't take much for an undercover cop to bust them would it?

Those who inbox'd me, if I can get anything I will grab them and get to them to you at FACE VALUE.
209 row 5 someone has 24 tickets on Stubhub all in a row. How does this happen?
Pleas let me know if you have any more
....they are a scalper that had 24 in a row in SSH.... or more likely a ticket master fudge up (or it's rigged.) I'm going with the last one.
more likely sponsor tickets and they just put it on stubhub.
Potential...Supporter of the decade right here!
but here is the problem with that.....how do you displace the customers who have year after year spent the most for tickets to an inferior product (since surely MLS/sponsors are going to want the best seats), only to get the boot now that its paid off by the team making the Finals? And literally everyone else in lower price points stay where they are?.....
and you would make them happy with a drink ticket? I have a pretty good feeling that the people in those seats really don't need a drink ticket.
communication could have been better, but as far as how the situation was actually handled?......I dont think much more could've been done....
After giving away so many tickets when I was a sth, now I am left hanging, hoping one of you has an extra seat, that I would gladly pay for, one seat only, anywhere in the stadium.
Interestingly.........these tickets are not yet available in Ticketmaster accounts. I wonder if they will actually do a validation and void all obvious scalper transactions............
No, just seems like the process here. Same goes for season seat holders who have purchased their allotment. Tickets are not available as of yet.
PM sent! Stand up gesture, cheers!
unlikely.....it is no longer illegal to scalp tickets in Ontario as long as ONE of TWO criteria are met...
1) the seller can prove tickets are legit
2) the seller will offer a full refund in the event they are not...
As long as 1 of those 2 are met, you can sell them for whatever you like in Ontario.
The TM hold is to make sure no one went over the per person limit....
Only people who have access to their tickets as of right now are those who have them in their TFC account manager. The relocation of TFC season seat holders was handled through ticketmaster. There is a delivery delay until four days before the game.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
And yet amazon can do same day physical shipping. Amazing world we live in.

Sorry yeah, that's what I meant. Season seat holders out of the south end, they don't have their tickets as of yet either. 4 day delay as you mentioned. Anyway, it has nothing to do with scalping.
Hey UpTheReds!
If you still have access to any, I would take either one or two if you can. If not, thanks anyway!
Under the system they implemented, the customers with the most expensive seats didn't get priority. Priority was given to people by the date they purchased seasons. So those people still got the boot, without necessarily getting better access.
sure I understand that.....but I'm speaking specifically to the suggestion that only the people who seats were affected should've been displaced. And I'm saying that the displaced seats are most likely gonna be the most expensive ones.....so then what?
Rather than face a backlash from their most expensive customers they just made a soup out of all the tickets, save for the South end.....
This from Kurt on twitter a short while ago:
"I'm told supporters groups also received a pre-sale code to purchase additional seats before general public. TFC took care of its customers."
Interesting. I feel a little left out as a day 1 supporter. Oh well.
My read from the tweet is that you needed to have been a paid member of a SG.Interesting. I feel a little left out as a day 1 supporter. Oh well.
I think he was referring to the Noon presale, which AFAIK didn't really help anybody out, save for some ticket bots.......Interesting. I feel a little left out as a day 1 supporter. Oh well.
Maybe a RPB member will clear it up. I did think that any unsold South End tickets were going to be provided to SGs for allocation amongst their memberships
Kurt needs to be twitter bombed outta that misconception.
TFC did not, in any way, take care of anyone outside of the South End. (and absolutely that is not a shot at the South End ticket holders in my comment)
They did in theory I guess, as we had the presale available before the general sale. But that's like saying everyone has an equal opportunity to buy a Lamborghini.
They did indeed do that, not a lot was available but the non-SSH tickets in the south end were sold to members of supporters groups
Well, good on MLSE for doing so (and let's hold off on twitter bombing Kurt's feed!)
So, on the assumption that people here represent a large percentage of the remaining unserved demand....
Everyone here looking for tickets could theoretically find a way to connect with each other. Then you appoint one person to act for the group as a whole.
Then everyone sits and does nothing.
Nobody buys anything until same point late in the game (Saturday noon?), at which point the appointed person buys any and all. Then you have a subsequent private process for parcelling out the seats you do get.
It's called a ring, it's legality is not clear (but same for scalping), and it would work, if you had enough people, and iron clad discipline.
