Last year I would have bet money that waiting until the last minute would work, but it didn’t, prices actually went up in the last 24 hours

Stubhub discussion:
- Don't overthink it, if you see something at your price point, grab it. “Deals” don't last long on there.
- Fees are big, probably $50/ticket, factor that in when you search
- think about buying “instant download” tickets. The odds of problems are lower because the seller actually has the tickets, and has uploaded them...
- (but could, at least in theory, be selling them twice. I think this is unlikely at this price point, you see this for $5000 Super Bowl tickets, it's not worth it for $250 tickets)
- stubhub is also sometimes very good 2-3 hours before game time
- the prices are nuts by TFC standards, but are less than a first round Leaf or Raps game. Just do it!

I'm not going to be paying the over-inflated prices on either of those, but in taking a quick look at both, my first thought was that the TM resale site (TicketsNow) looked a little more legit, since StubHub was selling seats in the now non-existent temporary sections that were at the south end last year. I'll go out on a limb here and say that's probably a good indication that the tickets are fake, when the seats are in sections that don't exist!

They do have a guarantee...so if the seats don't pan out you can go back to them for a credit or refund...that isn't going to be much of a consolation for the poor schmuck who isn't going to get in to the stadium- or any bar at that point either.
The main issue is that Stubhub will let you post without actually attaching the tickets- there is an option for delayed delivery. I fear there will be more than a few who end up empty handed.
My actual season seats are on StubHub for $375 American each. I got two rows behind. This system was messed up. So annoying.
Welp, I was hoping to score a few but at this point the best “seats” I can find come to around $333 dollars all in, including fees and whatever else.
Fingers crossed prices drop a little later in the week.

Are you SSH's able to transfer tickets already? Or do you need to wait til Thursday to transfer? Dealing with someone from Kijiji and I don't want to commute to downtown only to be told the seller can't do the TM transfer yet.
For non supporter sections will have to wait for tm to make printing available
I just transferred my friend the pair I got in the Friday presale from Ticketmaster, which weren't supporter section (126). Can't confirm if I can transfer yesterday's since I'm using those myself. (but the transfer button is there)

When I bought my tickets, my Ticketmaster account page said the tickets would be available to print after 4pm on Thursday. I just hope that's right because I'm planning on leaving to come down on Friday.
Found some! Still pricy but lower than before at $300 a ticket all in.
Ticketing fees are outrageous. $57 per seat basically for a whole lot of nothing.
For the conference semi-final game mine didn't end up getting released 48hrs prior to kickoff. I ended up having to wait on hold with Ticketmaster for almost an hour and a half in order for them to get it released to me. Hopefully its better for this game but just warning you in case it isn't.
Just to clarify:
- You can transfer the additional purchased tickets via TicketMaster immediately. (not like previous rounds) However, you cannot print them until 48hrs before the match.
I got 4 extra tickets on top of my 2 regular seats during the SSH pre-sale and I already transferred them to others. This is not in your TFC TicketMaster Account though, its through the regular TM account.

This team has been a massive part if my life since year 2. I haven't missed a game on tv (or pvr)since 2009, I have been on 10+ road trips to support the boys and taken part in countless RPB events.
That being said I cannot justify paying $300+ to get into the match so I will likely, unless a miracle occurs, watch from Barrie in the comfort of my own home. As a non-SSH I never had a shot to get tickets and now the resale market is absolutely flooded with seats going for 3X what they are worth. Enjoy the match boys.
