Renewal Rate..

[jaahuuu]

then I got that nice booklet last week AND a call from John Carver...

Seeing how its the 7th and the renewal deadline was the 3rd I guess I'm not getting a call from Carver. I renewed the tickets on the 28th, but I just got the booklet yesterday.

WHY DON'T YOU SUCK MY DICK JACK ...

These gentlemen (in their 50's) who did not renew simply did not enjoy what they were watching on the field. Between a group of them, they had 6 tickets. I think they kept 2 tickets and let the rest go because they just couldn't justify spending that kind of money for poor soccer.

These men have been around the sport all their lives in various ways. When they bought the tickets originally, they did it because they were happy to see a sound, secure club with a proper stadium coming to Toronto. These are the kind of men who attend the games for the game. The "atmosphere" is nice but they are purists...they wanted to watch good soccer. After 2 years, they are just unconvinced that this is the type of soccer they are willing to spend that much money on. They did hedge their bets a bit by keeping 2 tickets because they are hopeful that TFC and the league in general will improve.

if these were the STs that Jack & Stephen gave up, Gus bought them
No strings attached, exchanged at MLSE's current rate, paperwork will be completed very soon
and Sullivan did keep his pair but he will split them with Gus's brother
They were also part of a group that had a box too, which I also think that they have or will be giving up

i don't think it's totally a TFC being such a poor team thing, but also MLS operating like a minor league and refusing to accept it's niche market position - limited roster, conflict fifa dates, salary cap, Giant/RFK/KC stadiums, turf, allotments, a draft - MLS has to make some changes and ya some games can be entertaining but most games are crap

It appears that most of these gents are reverting back to pre-TFC-in-MLS days and selecting games to attend. I know I'm meeting a few of them at the Rev's game on the 16th vs DCU. And I know they've got tickets for Houston on Oct 25 and Dallas for the 26th.

personally I see the light at the end of the TFC/MLS tunnel but they don't

Yours too?

My jaw's going to get tired...

so it's all working as planned.. the fairwhether fans who jumped on because it was "cool" are now being weeded out

Wait, sucking was part of the MLSE/TFC's plan to get more hardcore supporters in the stands instead of beer-guzzling, food-buying bandwagoneers?
I knew those suits were on my side all along!

the world works in complex, often unintended ways

i just find it funny that people are giving up on their seasons because of the quality of MLS in general. I mean, ya, it's not the premiership, but if anyone expected it be so much better than this when they bought season's they are pretty naive. And if they bought seasons to "support the home side" only and now are giving up, they are bandwagon jumpers.

[Shakes McQueen]

Pissing an moaning about what someone else does with their personal property, which ultimately has nothing to do with you what so ever? (save me the "i'm a fan, its my team" speech, i've read it in about 100 other threads)

Sounds like a RPB to me

If it were his personal property, there wouldn't be laws on the books making it illegal for him to resell at an inflated price.

And it has a lot to do with me. I haven't been fortunate enough to get season's tickets yet, and it pisses me right the fuck off when I find out some of the people who have been so fortunate, aren't even going to the games - they are just making a quick buck off of them. And making me wait longer to get mine, in the process.

Of course, there's also the idiocy of coming to a supporters forum, and proudly proclaiming that you've scalped your tickets for next season. What do you expect?

Another year of trying to get individual tickets to all of the home games for me, while some felching pissflap stands out front of BMO Field fleecing people with this asshole's tickets.

"Nothing to do with me", my ass.

Gobi and Rocker's posts express how I feel exactly.

I look forward to a more dedicated crowd coming out next year.

Agree with you holehartedly. I as well are going to be looking for singles next year as well.

[TheRenter]

most people on here got them before it was 'soo cool', myself included... you sold your season to a scalper - which is illegal - check the Ontario Ticket Speculation Act. You aren't a supporter, you're a profiteer. Lame.

fcuk'in eh right! tres lame....now get the fcuk out!!

[redcard]

so it's all working as planned.. the fairwhether fans who jumped on because it was "cool" are now being weeded out

these are probably also the beckham fans who didnt get to see him for two years, unless they paid up for the allstar match...so no more teenie boppers in 116 yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

[Roogsy]

I prefer...

BYAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[keem-o-sabi]

well at this rate I'll be able to get ssn tix in 5 years woo hoo!!!

[CretanBull]

Someone was handing out blow jobs in this thread and I showed up late. Story of my life.

[rocker]

I look forward to a more dedicated crowd coming out next year.

heck, talk about dedicated... me and my dad are looking to upgrade into the prawn sandwich section number 123 (come on, the old guy can't stand for 90 minutes and I like the cup holders on the seats and the great view of the whole field!!!) for next year while these other people are not renewing or unloading tickets on scalpers... i guess i just can't believe their attitudes... or call us crazy... i'd love to see MLS improve in quality, but even now I enjoy myself at the matches no matter how good or bad the play can be at times. I'm like a kid at christmas. and during games I'm so attuned to the action on the field.. I get nervous and excited at the same time. i guess other people are more detached??? they are more interested in quality than supporting the team?

[Derko]

I renewed my seats, because
a) I like the game
b) I like the atmosphere
c) I like the entertainment value

I just returned from the UK and had the opportunity to take in the
Hearts v Inverness match in Edinburgh. From what I watched, TFC could compete with either Hearts or Inverness, and that is the SPL.
So all you folks who like to compare TFC, consider them an average SPL team.

tell me more.... what are the similarities and differences between the play of TFC/MLS and SPL? i have honestly only ever watched Celtic and Rangers.
how's the atmosphere at the ground?

no consider them a team that takes SPL players and puts them back into the scottish 1st division. *cough* colin samuel.

oh wait. then there's edu. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[billygrieveuk]

I would just like to see the tickets taken away from the scalpers and given to fans on the list who really want to experience Toronto FC. I figure that if a person is gonna stay on a waiting list for two years or so, they're probably gonna turn out to be pretty good fans.

Just how many south end seats are owned by scalpers? a guess....

[billygrieveuk]

I know of a few people who did not renew but I think the renewal rate will ultimately top out around 95 percent

they must be crazy.....

That tells you just about everything you need to know about the SPL

[Bluenose13]

Hmmm.......Rangers UEFA Cup finalists.

[Jack]

WHY DON'T YOU SUCK MY DICK JACK LIKE I KNOW YOU LIKE TO SUCK DICK..
YOU ARE A FCKING USELESS PRESIDENT ANYWAYS ..GO GET A LIFE U DUMB CUNT..
YA i AM A RPB PRES II AM SO COOL HAHAHHAHAHAHAH

EAT MY ASS AND LIKE IT JACK OFF IS THAT YOUR NAME JACK OFF HAHHAHAHA

When I say "YOU" I refer to the RPB as a whole. When your president (the foul mouthed guy, Jack) starts a thread calling for a protest at the All Star Game I would say that he is representing the RPB as a whole. I can't speak to everyone individually, just the ideas the RPB seem to represent.

Isn't irony a sweet thing?

[James17930]

Mine got renewed . . . and I'm not even there!

[Cashcleaner]

As a guess, I'd say quite a few. They are the cheapest seats, so that will count for something.

[Mark in Ottawa]

Isay things you don't like and that makes me a troll???

I enjoy TFC bottom line .. deal with my dealings I should not have to hide what I do .. its funny that some guys get mad I made money
