It probably just means that ECS isn't as large as you seem to think it is. We're talking about almost 3,000 tickets here.
So did the ECS ticket allotment increase for away games? My original question was compared to last time when the ECS only sold tickets internally.
True.... BUT.... maybe-just-maybe... Portland isn't as large a rival as they told you they were. You see 100+ at every single away game. What-- 300 flew to KC on 2 weeks notice. I know of dozens making the LA->T&T->Dallas trifecta, There are 2 more away playoff games to play. Why waste time on portland? When the "There's bigger fish to fry" mentality applies to pdx, that should tell you something.
Both? I don't remember the ECS opening up tickets to everyone before now, either earlier this year or last year. This isn't meant as an indictment to the ECS, I'm just curious as to if their away ticket allotment increased or if their participation internally decreased. Asking on a whim, really, just curious.
I would assume there are all kinds of factors at play. Multiple away games against Portland and Vancouver dilute the importance of each individual game (in terms of the desire of traveling specifically). Portland sucking People having the time for only so many trips and doing Portland or Vancouver AGAIN isn't valued as highly as a trip to San Jose or RSL, or LA, or any other trip. Saving and planning for playoff away game/s. They did raise the amount of tickets allotted this year compared to last year. Portland having higher ticket prices than Vancouver and I have heard some people say they have a better time at Vancouver. Watch the ECS allotment for the one road game at Portland and Vancouver go mostly to ECS members next year. The total allotment will be 1500 I believe. No clue what ECS allotment will be then.
