    Default Season tickets 2009 what would you like to see added

    keep the friendlies as part of the deal or Canada cup match tickets or
    Canadian national team wcq tickets...assuming a another game will be played in TO in the next round? i went for the Canada cup, followed by, friendlies then the wcq, as we don't know if Toronto will even be considered if Canada qualifys for the next round. Anyone know when or ticket renewals are due by?

    the poll is a bit one sided at the moment...fans feel the same way.

    Damn it. I screwed up and voted friendly. Make that another vote for the Canada Cup. Reading beyond the topic would have been a good idea.

    true but fans like to see different clubs from around the world, and since most league end when ours is starting thats the only way we get these games.

    for the most part, the CMNT will give you a better quality of play, and a reason to care.
    Sure it would be cool to see some major international club play here, but if the stakes are zero.... it's hard to really care.

    How can the CMNT give 16000 to TFC fans....it wouldnt be fair to the Canadian supporters outside of the TFC world!....


    But i would like the CSA...to give the entire southend...to RPB and USEC to distribute for CANADA games at BMO! now that would gaurentee madness in the south end!

    Dream on. You're not thinking like a suit.

    MLSE made an incremental $1 million on the two CC games. The friendlies are loss leaders. It'll snow in July before they give the CC games away.

    The right question is, MLSE increased profits in 2008 by raising prices a bit and adding two new sold out games. What will they do to increase profits in 2009?

    Methinks it'll be tough to add more revenue-generating games, other than via playoffs or CC qualification, so ticket prices are going up, by more than a bit.

    canada cup games instead of friendlies.
    IF they have to have friendlies, have em at the start or end of the season as what happened with 8 games in 24 days is ridiculous.

    I voted for friendlies from the standpoint that they have more value than the Canada Cup games (price perspective). I also have a sneaking suspicion that we might see Mo Edu back in TO for a friendly game (any chance MoJo might have set this up as part of the deal?).

    The Canada Cup is run by the CSA so it will never be included as part of the season package.

    Boys and girls...did you see the ticket price on those friendlies ??? Yeah they are not going away, no way in hell, I agree with the post above. But I would support adding the Canada Cup games, and first rights to your seats for WCQ games...not just any seats.

    Btw, can they schedule their friendlies at a better time next year ? Not during the busiest time of the season ! That kind of planning would be appreciated.

    with Seattle coming in next year ticket prices will go up by one game anyways, not abig margin, then Philly the year after. TFC should work with the CSA or vice versa to make sure TFC season tickets holders get the first shot at thier seats for Canada games.

    When I get my seasons I'd like to see preseason friendlies part of my package. I want Canada games and Champions league to have a different, seperate demand. Midseason friendlies are bogus to me. Many people just go because they have the tickets but if they had the choice don't really care about the away team. Then people who do like the team that don't have tickets make like there is a big demand. These friendlies midseason are to get other people interested in the game who wouldn't normally go. Well that number of people are getting smaller and I hope we can do away with them and have less midseason games to keep our lads fresh as can be.

    If they want to do the friendlies, have them as pre-season games. Before the actually MLS season starts.

    The problem with that is you are limited with opponents since it is still the season in Europe.

    Yeah, that is very true. Gotta see what leagues start around the same time as us, and see what teams we can bring over.

    I'd rather play smaller sides at the right time. Leave the friendly for the all star game.
