Had row 3 for the Conference finals.
I didn't sit there as I wandered lower, however the two others I was with reported the seats to be great.
The thing about BMO field is that it isn't so big that you cant have a good view EVERYWHERE
As all of us know its a sellout. Looking forward to a much better experience for my second time at the MLS Cup, last time at BMO Field was cold as crap out without the home team in sight.

Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
Rumors circulating seattle was given 1500 seats..any truth to that?
Yes, confirmed by Larson. Technically more than the required minimum.
We got people here clamoring for tickets to see the home side triumph, and they give that much to those snotbag fans? That's unheard of! Fuck that!
TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)
We are odds on favourite to lift the trophy @ 1.75 or -175
Giving us a 64% Probability according to the bookies
Seattle sits at 2.25 or +125 with 44%
It's a final not a home game. We have the luxury of it being at home.
I for one am happy Seattle has that many fans cause if roles were reversed I'd be pissed if tfc only got 500 tickets.
Also having good away support only adds to the value of the game and atmosphere.
Stay objective.

This is an absolute must read for any tfc fan and especially for those sticking with the team from year one. Great insight from the other side.
Even more why winning on Saturday is so important.
Agreed. To be honest, I'd rather those tickets go to real supporters, even if they are away fans, than more scalpers or sponsors
To be fair, this is a cup final, they deserve a nice chunk of tickets.
Besides, I always love the atmosphere at games when visitors are well supported.
It raises the energy level in all of us. A bit of healthy competition amongst fans.
Ha! You beat me to it.
It's a TV show. You could barely see the Montreal support.
They would give 1500 tickets to buddhist monks if they thought it made good TV.
What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.
You could hear them, however.
Yes, that was a bit weird actually. They were out there in the mist, it was very Lord of the Rings.

Not sure if you guys read this...but GlenM posted in another thread....good on Seattle!
The away fans don't bother me at all, 1500 Seattle fans will be great. It's the corporate 5k seats, the ticket re-sellers and their bots or whatever the hell they use to acquire hundreds of tickets that pisses me off. The atmosphere of 1500 away fans wont make up for the 5-7k+ tickets to people who dont give a shit about either team.
Unfortunately, that's the norm for events like this.
There's still a chance many of those tickets won't get used,
and they'll be back up for sale closer to game day.
Impact fans = orcs
From a Toronto Star article:
"Saturday’s game is doing so well it’s getting into Leafs territory. According to the company, the demand is in line with the most in-demand Leafs’ playoff game during their 2013 series against the Boston Bruins."
Other good news that we have never experienced before.......with virtually a 2 month post season... after Christmas it's only two months to opening day! Last year's season opener was March 6th!
That's not how maths work. That's not how any of this works.
lol, that would make for good TV!
Man, what I would give to be there!!!! Wife and I moved to Victoria BC This summer for work and I constantly ask if it's okay to fly home for the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh jesus don't tell her. Just say you're going to the store and hop on the plane.
You can't get tickets anyways... unless you are paying the scalpers, which is a whole other matter.
It's shaping up to be downright frigid on Saturday evening...the DAYTIME HIGH is only -2, with a windchill of -5.
That might work in the favour of us non-ticket holding fans
start smoking and say that you're going out for a pack of smokes... when you return, days later, several hundred dollars poorer, she'll be relieved that you didn't leave her but rather will be glad to see you back home... why you left won't even matter at that point.
Now that the ticket fiasco is over, sort of, how is everyone feeling about the actual game?
