    Love to hear where these numbers are coming from before guessing anything.

    I'd understand faster renewals from people that aren't talking about it as much. The talk comes from people waiting to renew if at all.

    The last game of the season I spoke to maybe a half dozen people in my section (121). Not a single one planned to renew, and didn't care about the price drop. They wanted to see some tangible hope in the off season that there was any kind of future for the team. I bet the supporters seats have done extremely well - at $190, why not renew? But I think they will have trouble in other sections.

    The price drop only buys the club 1 more season to try to fix this mess.

    I know its still early, but I've yet to see anything that shows that this front office is serious about changing for the better. Its all just more of the same.

    you won't see any major moves at least until playoffs are over and Re-entry draft in early Dec.

    I wasn't expecting any anyways.

    I do think we are getting an assitant coach (ie. someone like Heath).

    And I fully expect us to release all the players Mariner doesn't rate.

    After that who knows.

    Now that the seasonhas ended, each day that goes by that I don't learn that Mariner (at least) and Cochrane have been releived of duties, is another reason to chuckle to myself about the prospects for next year.

    If Mariner survives to have any type of input into TFC for 2013, I suggest changing the club motto to 'How Low Can We Go ?'.

    Renewals are not going well....

    email from TFC:

    Treat! We've just added an additional Early Renewal prize for Season Seat Holders!

    Any account who has renewed their 2013 Toronto FC season seats by the Friday, November 9th early renewal deadline will receive a pair of complimentary lower bowl Toronto Raptors tickets to a game in November.
    If you've already renewed your seats for 2013, then you're all set! Look for a follow-up email during the week of November 12th with further details on how to claim your tickets. Tickets will be randomly assigned to accounts, with no exchanges.

    I thought the same thing.

    Pretty sad indictment of the situation of both TFC and the Raptors.

    I'm betting the tickets are to an unfavourable match up.

    Lower bowl raptors seats aren't hard to come by for free. Just last week at the Raptors party, they were giving away so many lower bowl seats to the November 4th game.

    Excuse me but WTF? As early as the last week there were those saying renewals were strong and we were all boohooing how Mariner was defo gonna be in next year etc because of it.

    Now it looks to be the opposite. Surprise, surprise. I asked more than once about sources for those "good renewal rates" and got bupkiss.

    The funny thing is that its not even a prize. EVERYBODY that renews by the 9th gets a pair of tickets.

    Note they didn't give free Marlies tickets... raises too many unpleasant memories for a lot of us.

    Personally, I'll wait until they give me a free Kia for renewing.

    I guess that new dynamic pricing the Raptors are using isn't working too well.

    So if I get my new free jersey and take up this offer too. Doesn't that make my pair of south end ticket almost free? LOL.

    In order for your jersey and raps ticket to have value, it needs to...have value. If you're getting them for free, how much value do those actually have?

    I agree with you.

    In past seasons this would have been cool for me. I use to attend a couple of Raptor games a year.

    But this new 'prize' for TFC SSH is fairly empty. MLSE is giving us something that wasn't going to be used anyways. This costs them nothing.

    Exactly, owning a sports team is close to being the Federal Reserve in the US.

    Print a rectangular peice of paper, put a value on it. Profit.


    They are trying to print money, how about you earn money you fucks.

    It wouldn't surprise me if this isn't even the last sweetener to try to get people to renew.

    I can't see too many fence sitters changing their mind over this.

    Quite the opposite. We're at the point where this sort of penny ante bullshit is going to offend more than it will help.

    I know a lot of the stuff in here is negative about the promotion for the Raps tickets but I don't mind since I like going to Raps games. I tend to get lucky and they win when I go and lots of times I come away with free pizza the next day. Anyhow, I don't mind the promotion because I was going to renew my south end seats for one more year. If anyone can't use their free pair they get please let me know because I would love to bring my kids to a game in the lower bowl and usually way out of my price range. Thanks.

    This is great guys, keep up the non-renewals or at least wait as long as possible if you're going to. This is our disapproval.

    And let's not lump the Raptors with TFC for their sake, TFC is an unmatched level of futility and incompetence.

    I think they do need to be lumped together. This promotion is only happening because both teams are facing attendance problems.
