I hear Seattle are selling season tickets at a rate that rivals or even bests Toronto! Anybody know the # yet?

Question

To me, Seattle will be the US soccer city that would rival Canada's Toronto. I hear that they have sold over 13,000+ season tickets and when i look at their website, alot of thier sections have already sold out in a stadium that holds 25,000. Does anyone know how much season tickets exactly did Seattle sell so far? And for the heck of it, what do you think is in store for this promising club?

Answer 1

Seattle Sounders FC have sold over 16,000 season tickets...I think they are going to do well.  They have made all the right moves so far: Broadcasting rights, Jersey Sponsor, Kasey Keller, Members Association, etc.

Answer 2

thats great to hear.if the MLS can continue to expand and get this type of support.then they are on the right path.

Answer 3

Joe Public 2-1 NE

Joe Public 4-0 NE

Joe Public 6-1(agg.) NE

just thought you should know

Answer 4

everybody sells a lot of tickets in their 1st year. question is: will people still go to games when the novelty wears off?

Answer 5

Its all rubbish. They inflate the numbers, those aren't 'sold' season tickets, those are pledges to purchase one, which many will go back on.

After one or two seasons, they numbers will fall dramatically, the reason they are going so well so far is that it is a new thing with excitement around it. If you look at Seattles numbers right now in the USL, it is pitiful. Now look at Portland or Montreal and you are getting somewhere.
