$125 vs $112.5
$150 vs $135
Were they snoozing during the whole Bills in Toronto fiasco???
Source/link?
Maybe they'll have $5 beers.
Where is your source??
I read DC SSHs are paying $50 for seats that are $60 for everyone else... Anyone want to get out the calculator?
Once more...source/link??
Where did you get those prices from?
The Globe mentions price ranges of $150-$200.

Can we close this?
you know.... without a solid source, it's just speculation and should be closed.

just heard what the source might be. we'll see how it pans out.Ticket information for the Real Madrid game will be released Monday, June 8; however, Toronto FC season-seat holders and members of both the Gold and Red waiting lists will each have an advanced window with which to purchase tickets at a special loyalty price. Information regarding date and time of each pre-sale window will be sent directly to these groups.

Not that this has anything to do with the game here, just to point it out, the DCU-RM game is being played at Fedex Field which seats 91,704, so they can afford to offer up $50.00.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!

Last year my tickets for Pachuca were $120 bucks. I'm am 100% sure that it costs a bag of pucks to bring Pachuca compared to Real Madrid. So what does that mean? that I should pay more for Real Madrid? well then, MLSE, you OWE ME MONEY FOR THE PACHUCA GAME. The argument goes both ways.
I got ripped off last year, and they could've made up for it this year. But intstead, they try and rip me off again.
I'm not aiming this post at you directly, just the idea of the game and the argument that it's justfiable to bend us over because we have a small stadium.
I have no interest in supporting in any way shape or form this monumental and disrespectfull (to the players-see DeRos comments, the season ticketholders, and the supporters) cash grab.
I brought up the fact that, as part of my season ticket package I've paid for a friendl,y because quite often people are saying that it's okay to charge a bit extra because we have a small stadium.
I was just saying that TFC are sitting on 16,000 paid tickets for this already and now they're double charging. They aren't charging a bit extra.
I hear ya Ole!
Of course its a cash grab…that was my point too.
If you said to them here's $50 keep the other friendly and give me Real…they'll tell us…no you can't do that. Bandits.
I see this whole thing…top class opponent/loyalty price thing blowing up in their faces…big time. What would BMO look like half empty for one of the biggest clubs in the world?
I'm going to wait until Monday…lets see the offer…

Even if MLSE did little to no advertising for it, I can't see this happening... there are loads of people in Toronto who would love to see Real Madrid play anyone, just like there were loads of people who bought tickets for the August 5th LA game in season one who weren't there to see TFC but to see Beckham.
This all stinks. Its gonna get worst if we lose to L.A. and beat Montreal 3-0
That's a valid point. In the eyes of MLSE I think it's around 60-65% of that. The example they use on their website is for Yellows. It says face is $46, season seat holder pays $28.
I think though that post you were replying to wasn't necesarily speaking the the actual amount paid, but assigning prices based on teams.
If it's understandable to pay extra for a club of Real Madrid stature, then conversley it would it not be understandable to get a credit for a club of Pachuca's stature
The idea I think we all were sold was that over time it all evens out. For every friendly with the Rochester Rhinos, there would be one with Real madrid. Just hang in there....be loyal...and we'll get a good one one day.
Guess not.
I couldn't have said it better. That is exactly the point I was trying to make. It's not about "how" much I payed. It's about the fact that when it's Real Madrid, they reserve the right to make us pay for the entire game even though we already own tickets. But at the same time, they reserve the right to say we're giving you a game against a team most people have never heard of and we're not refunding you any money even though you actually payed for a team worth more.
