Number of season tickets for each team.

Those google translations aren't getting any better . The thread premise is still good, but I don't really know if there are concrete Season Tickets numbers floating around for any team.

 

The Philadelphia Union capped season ticket sales at 13,000 and by all accounts sold all of them.

 

i will keep an up to date list if people will post links in this thread to verified sources that contain official season ticket numbers/caps (or links to any credible speculation can go in the bottom list).

these are the ones i have found so far, the links are bolded and the year is the season that the number was confirmed for:


CONFIRMED:

Seattle Sounders FC - 32,000 (2010)

Vancouver Whitecaps FC - 15,500-16,500 (2011)

Toronto FC - 16,000 (2011)

Portland Timbers FC - 14,750 (2012)

Philadelphia Union - 12,000-13,000 (2011)

Sporting Kansas City - 11,000 (2011)

Montreal Impact - 5,000+ (2012)



SPECULATIVE:

Real Salt Lake - <10,000 (2011)

 

i imagine that at some point we will hear an exact number out of Houston for 2012 with their new stadium and all. Montreal will also probably update their number multiple times as the 2012 season nears.

LA and NY seem to keep a very tight lid on exact numbers for some reason. i couldn't find anything ... i do seem to vaguely remember that RBNY had a goal of 10K for when RBA opened (2010) and reached it? and i can't imagine that LAG is under 10K but i haven't found anything resembling an exact number.

as for the rest of the teams, they pretty much are mediocre to sucky at attendance so i doubt we'll get any announcement from those teams when their season ticket base is probably embarrassingly paltry compared to the high attendance teams that do freely announce their numbers

 

They sold them out for 2012????

 

For 2010 it was 12k, for 2011 it was 13k, and I would expect 2012 to sell out at 13k as well.

 

RSL was "over 7000" for 2011.

okay. good link for RSL. i am putting them down for 7K-8K because "over 7K" means somewhere between 7K-8K otherwise it would have been "over 8K"

CONFIRMED:

Seattle Sounders FC - 32,000 (2010)

Vancouver Whitecaps FC - 15,500-16,500 (2011)

Toronto FC - 16,000 (2011)

Portland Timbers FC - 14,750 (2012)

Philadelphia Union - 12,000-13,000 (2011)

Sporting Kansas City - 11,000 (2011)

Real Salt Lake - 7,000-8,000 (2011)

Montreal Impact - 5,000+ (2012)



SPECULATIVE:

 

You can add Houston as 6000 (2011) speculative.

 

One thing that can be confirmed is that least 17 sections of the new Dynamo Stadium are currently sold out.

 

tried as i might i could not find any number for Houston or what those "sold out" sections translated into.

but i hold out hope that as the 2012 season approaches they will hit some number they had as a goal and then will feel comfortable announcing it.

 

chris canetti said on 11/15/11 season ticket sales are up 50% over last years totals

 

For some reason I think LA is 4500 to 5500, even if that seems shockingly low.

 

Could also be based off the unknown status of David Beckham next year.

 

As of today, the number of Dynamo Stadium sections that are sold out are 20. 21 if you include the VIP Field section:



That's at least three more sections sold out in the past 5 days. Fair to assume that the MLS Cup run was a contributing factor to the jump. Curious exactly what the numbers are and how many it will end up being come May 2011.

 

Fuzzy memory here, but I think that the Red Bulls also sold out the middle three sections of the lower bowl on the east (camera facing) side. And those seats were almost always empty. Hopefully those seats in Houston are sold to people and not corporations.

Cause corporations are not people.

 

I was told by the FO that NYRB have 7,800 season ticket holders for 2012 so far. However I don't believe that number one bit.

 

CONFIRMED:

Seattle Sounders FC - 32,000 (2010)

Vancouver Whitecaps FC - 15,500-16,500 (2011)

Toronto FC - 16,000 (2011)

Portland Timbers FC - 14,750 (2012)

Philadelphia Union - 12,000-13,000 (2011)

Sporting Kansas City - 11,000 (2011)

Real Salt Lake - 7,000-8,000 (2011)

Montreal Impact - 5,000+ (2012)



SPECULATIVE:

Red Bull New York - 7,800

 

I remember a couple seasons ago the numbers came out and Chivas has less than 500 season ticket holders. That's not a typo. Less than 5 hundred.

 

I remember that. That franchise is a complete joke and should be moved.

 

If I remember correctly you said the same thing about KC at one point and look what happened. It's not your franchise or your money so dont worry about it, its not your problem.
