According to Merritt Paulson's twitter, the Timbers had a 96% renewal rate for 2013. With a ginormous waiting list, you can pretty much count on Portland selling out of season tix for year three, whatever number they set it at. I must say I'm a bit surprised, given how utterly sh!tastic this season was. I personally didn't renew until the very last day.
Just yesterday it was pinned at 95% by Mike the COO. Rounding up by Merritt? http://www.bizjournals.com/portland/blog/2012/10/despite-record-timbers-season.html
Went by the Quakes FO yesterday and spoke with my ticket rep. She said that 2013 season ticket sales had surpassed the 2012 number (rumored to be around 4,000) one month ago. Should see a substantial leap, especially with stadium construction starting within the next few months, and hopefully with a nice playoff run.
Joey Saputo released a letter to the fans today, as well as a end of season press season post-mortem. Key point is that the objective is to reach 10,000 season tickets by next season. http://www.impactmontreal.com/en/news/2012/10/statement-joey-saputo
Got the following in my season ticket holder email for FC Dallas, no hard numbers but some relative ones (and word on renewals for next season).
http://www.portlandtimbers.com/news...-tickets-club-reaches-96-percent-renewal-rate Official announcement stating 96% renewal rate. Also mentioned in the article is that the season ticket count of 15,250 are sold out for 2013. This is an increase of 500 season tickets over 2012.
But the fourth year stayed up! And that's what you're going to get Timbers Army, the strongest team in all of Oregon.
TFC apparently have about 1600 season ticket packages left for next season. That would put them around 14,400 season tickets sold. Guess the price rollback helped a lot.
It did but a) this is still a disaster compared to where this franchise could be and b) the roll back bought them one year, and one year only, to put a winning team on the field before the number falls off a cliff.
Not a new STH count but instead the amounts various Supporter Groups pay for their 2013 Season Tickets: Notes: 1. VAN has SGs in two differently priced sections, thus the VAN1 and VAN2 2. VAN and MTL do not included the HST and CRA in their listed prices so I added it by going to the "purchase" option and finding out what the "total" price was. TFC do include HST and CRA in their listed prices so they were kept as is. 3. VAN does not list an exact number of games for their ST packages. It lists all MLS home games (17) and all Amway Canadian Championship home games (1 or 2). Since at this point they are only guaranteed one such ACC game I used 18 to divide their ST package price to get the ST $/GM. 4. DCU Supporter Section prices are not listed on the DCU website but on the SG sites. There was a discrepancy between the two sites so I went with the 468.00 number which divided by the 18 games in the ST package to an even $26/GM number.
Colorado Terraces (North end standing area and bench seating in corners) - $238 Colorado Class VI (East sideline, midway between box and midfield) - $357 These are both total prices (so all taxes, etc.)
the terraces are the main SG section right? i am sure there are SG pockets for other teams that are more expensive but i mostly just listed the "main" area listed as or for SGs. the only reason i put two for VAN is that the one main SG section is literally straddling two different priced sections. total stupidity.
FWIW the TFC number is for new season ticket holders. In the supporter's section that's likely zero as they sold the south end out during the relocation event, before the tickets went on sale to non-ticket holders. The price current holders paid was $190.
Class VI is a few hundred members with a couple of hundred season tickets. More than just "a pocket".
Not necessarily the case. If you buy online, you have to pay the above fees. But if you call the stadium ticket office, you pay the listed rate. I don't know if and how they get around the agreement with TicketMaster, but i'm thankful for it! Most people who spend any time around the team knows the loophole and buys their tickets that way(I learned it half way through the season :| ). Single game tickets bought this way are picked up through will-call. Also, STH's who renewed paid last season's rate ($250 vs $295). Most tickets in the SG section were renewed, though I don't know numbers. I don't know how you want to calculate that.
uh aren't the HST and CRA are some sort of Canadian taxes? not Ticketmaster fees? anyway it was the price listed when you went to purchase via the team's website.
Actually, if you commit for 2 years, the upper deck season ticket at the HDC comes out to $12.50 a game, actually cheaper than the supporters sections. And, in my opinion, better overall view of the game. 1 year i think is $13.50, but I think that one had a time deadline
Yeah there are definitely better deals to be had for example I pay $285 for my seats in section 103 at FC Dallas Stadium which by face value are significantly more expensive then the supporters section ticket locations would be (though with the new beer garden setup hard to say).
oh, seems you are partially correct, taxes are added separately. In Quebec its the GST and QST, as opposed to HST elsewhere. All I can say for sure is that single game tickets purchased over the phone are sold at face value. I have no idea where you got CRA from, that's the Canadian Revenue Agency.Though I am not familiar with how taxes are presented in BC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_taxes_in_Canada
please note that the ECS in seattle has a lot of people grandfathered in at 297%, the new folks are at 390-400$ (new folks means people after year 1)
Feel free to start a new one, I just created this one to avoid the argument in the previous incarnation of the thread.
