Toronto FC cuts off season ticket sales
2007 has already been an interesting year for MLS: David Beckham was signed to the Galaxy, two MLS sides are still in the running for the CONCACAF Champions Cup, and Toronto FC has just cut off season ticket sales.
The reason for the move by Canada's first entry into MLS is the fact that they've already sold 14,000 of them, and they need to reserve some seats for group sales, mini-packages, and single-game sales.
The story continues:
Toronto FC will play its home games at the new BMO Field at Exhibition Place. The BMO Field has sold out its executive suites."It speaks volumes for the people and the interest in Toronto for the soccer," Toronto FC midfielder Carl Robinson said at the team's training camp here.
No kidding. Selling 14,000 season tickets for a 20,000-seat stadium—and all the luxury boxes—is impressive in any sport. Toronto, welcome to MLS!
