    I thought at least one year, we got an early renewal gift. Or, yes there was a raffle for early renewals, like for an autographed replica ball.

    Heard from an FCC fan that if you bought tickets to the game sunday, the crew would comp your tickets if you buy season tickets

    This is normal…when I bought my season tickets a few years ago my rep gave me free tickets to the next game.

    I believe there was an early renewal gift. Now, I think it's just a renewal gift plus a regular STM gift.

    It'd be nice if the schedule came out early so we'd know how many home games we'd have to sit through in February, but that'd also be a huge deterred. "Hey, if you buy season tickets, you can freeze your ass off in February and only get one home game in August!"

    I'm sure I wasn't the only one who heard tonight's announcement about "Season tickets sell out every year with only a limited number expected to be available in 2026" or some such.

    They did, and I won one of the prizes a few years ago. It was also a cluster f because they didn't tell the vendors so half the time they never wanted to accept the gift certs.

    Theoretically, they may play a lot of early season games away next season, putting finishing touches on the renovations

    There's also the possibility they work around games like how they had construction walls up earlier this year.

    Ticket sales must be down. In the past week I've gotten multiple voicemails and emails asking about interest in tickets.

    We knew it was getting bad months ago when the Nordecke waiting list dried up. It's only going to get worse.

    Yeah. A work colleague who's been a season ticket holder since the beginning was priced out of her old seats - the ones being made into yet more premium seating - and it now actually paying less then she was last year. One wonders what demand there will be for her old seats at their new premium pricing.

    Guess we still have to wait and see how this plays out. If everything falls through and Nancy's back on the sidelines next season, that would be huge. It would also mean that he'd be playing a lead role in new signings this winter and that players like Arfsten are more likely to stick around. That should help at least prop up demand.

    But if he leaves (which certainly seems likely)... how does the FO spin this as anything other than a major rebuilding year?

    If he's spending a week talking with Celtic, he's gone--sooner rather than later.

    If anyone is going to the equipment sale on Dec 15th and would like to try and pick an item or 2 up for me, let me know. The time frame is not ideal for me to get over there.

    I checked my junk folder. There it was. Sent at noon today. Requires a ticket that is non transferable. It’s a 2 hour sale.

    FWIW, it's only for 2026 STMs.

    ...and I'm back for another year. They got me(*), even though I'm sure there won't be anything I want and I'm sure all the jerseys will be 2-3 sizes too small.

    (*)They got me anyway, they just got me earlier than I expected. I'm surprised they didn't do the weekly contests like they've done in the past. "Everyone who is a STM for 2026 is eligible for weekly drawings for various prizes."

    I havent liked much of the locker room gear lately. Maybe the warm up jackets will be there. Last year, I did get the cool hoodie that covers your neck and has the nationwide logo on the sleeve. The most expensive item I got was a GK long-sleeved red jersey and didnt even wear it.

    After the first rebrand a lot of leftover hardhat logo stuff was dumped into thrift stores. I think a lot of us were expecting roundel merch last year, but it was so long after that rebrand that they obviously had enough time to dump whatever leftovers they had from that rebrand.

    ...just my opinion, of course.

    One of the really cool items were the balls from the non-MLS competitions. I remember some Nike having some balls there.

    Just got an email saying season ticket members were getting a quarter zip stating the number of years as a season ticket member. One per seat and sized individually.

    I bought for years from CU, not the FO, so mine will say "Member since 2019".

    Not a bad perk.

    My season tickets were in my ex-wife's name for a few years, so I emailed my rep to see what could be done about that. Doesn't hurt to ask.
