Mine just arrived at Yonge and Eg, interesting that I had to sign for it after the email said I did not have too.

Scarf seems quite high quality.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
I find it unfortunate that TFC underestimated, or worse doesn't care about the number of STH who use these tickets to give to clients, as prizes for school raffles, etc. I do for both, and know of many who give them to clients, and this is just an inconvenience now. People loved getting the tickets in hand and going to the game with no fuss. Its a bit of an ask to have someone download an app and create an account now for something they may just use once. Or worse, leave them at will-call with the risk of something going wrong, or having a big line up for something that was supposed to be a donation. Very shortsighted imo.
Also, with the excuse of "going green", what was actually saved aside from the actual ticket books? Scarf still came in a cardboard box, and the fancy TFC box. Very disappointed with the whole process this year. What used to be a 2nd Christmas with the opening of the box and ticket package, became a big meh this year with a scarf and reading on how the hell I can pas my tickets along if need be this year.
Mines supposedly sitting on front porch. Lets hope its there when I get home.
Has anyone successfully transferred some of their season tickets to another person. I have tried sending to two people and both are being told they have to changed their passwords and then it doesn't work. (I have transferred additional tickets I bought for the season opener to one of these same people and that worked fine.)
I will be very interested to see if the Leafs and Raptors are completely digital next season too? That will be the telling story of why this was done for the Reds. With the number of corporate tickets held for the Leafs it would be a real pain in the ass to get tickets in the hands of clients etc , the executive assistants are going to love it LOL

My boss has Leafs/Raptors/TFC seasons & he is of the opposite mindset, as when you send out tickets via courier he finds it more of a hassle or people have to come out to our office to p/u. I can see from his stand point this is just one less thing to worry about as the digital transfer is more convenient..
So I guess we don't get the 10% off at BMO and Real Sports store huh? That's a bummer
I would agree...TFC could be the guinea pig for this process to eventually make its way to the Leafs/Raps, but then...
...could be, but that may be the minority opinion. I spoke to 4 others I know who give tickets away as perks regularly, and they all hate this.
Away trips: 2014 - Seattle. 2015 - Montreal. 2016 - Montreal x2. Playoffs - NYCFC, Montreal. 2017 - Salt Lake, Philly, Ottawa, Montreal, Chicago, LA, Atlanta. Playoffs - NYRB, Columbus. 2018 - Monterrey, MX (Tigres) CCL, Montreal, Ottawa, Montreal. 2019 - Philly, Montreal, Seattle (MLS Cup final)
absolutely...and seeing a kid's face light up when they're given tickets for a school prize is priceless. Now I'll get to explain to a parent that they have to download an app and create an account while they look at me funny lol. I'm waiting for the first time I hear "can I just get the cash value of the tickets instead?" lol And I get to do the same with my clients and employees too...oh joy...
From TFC FO "No. You can no longer use PDFs ("print at home") tickets or a printed-out screenshot to enter BMO Field. Contact the source of the ticket and request the ticket to be transferred to you."
See this link for the Mobile ticketing info and FAQ at the bottom where I got this answer from. https://www.torontofc.ca/mobile-ticketing
Just read the rules that govern tickets.
All I can say is thanks again for the head office screwing us older fans.
No consideration at all.
So in theory there will be no more scalpers outside the stadium and GO station
In theory they can just transfer the tickets to you electronically - on the spot. Which gives you more security really ...
Though what's the cut-off for ticket transfers before kick-off? Traditionally it was 2 hours ... but I'd think they'd have to be close to realtime as surely people will be sending tickets to friends, etc., even after kick-off (if someone is late, for example).
Forge FC did this last year and did not advertise that you could contact your rep and they would print tickets for you. Might want to call and let them know you are unhappy, don't have a smart phone (if thats the case) and would rather they mail you (or you pick up) printed generic tickets to use.
My tickets just arrived. Printed on standard ticketbastard stock.
Bones...
Could you post a pic? Are they special designs or just plain BW QR codes?
