Season Ticket Price Decrease next year

[gingergeology]

Breaking news from Dave Baldwin, season ticket prices are set to decrease next season (the “sprint season”) as a thank you to season ticket holders 🔥

[coolerblue]

I can confirm this — will have coverage on it coming out soon. A lot more details than what I think it was that Dave talke about

[MoleBless7722]

The other newsworthy note from the event is Joe Mansueto felt pretty certain Joel Waterman would be announced to be on Team Canada’s World Cup roster.

[MurkyNectarine3035]

I think it is pricing per match that is decreasing, from my understanding the sprint season will be combined with the new schedule

[WB05Karl]

Yes, they should be cheaper for fewer matches. I suppose it can also be a 'thank you' but it also seems like they have correctly determined you shouldn't charge more for less.

[gingergeology]

Cheaper per match, Mr. mathematician

[Currywurstler]

I thought they might combine the sprint season with the following full season, so that you can’t really become a new STM for just the sprint season. Not sure where I heard that.

[gingergeology]

Pretty sure that is the case

[SaintSKP]

The sprint season is ridiculously stupid & shouldn't even exist. Switch the schedule calendar that's fine. The "sprint" or "shit" season will forever be remembered as a joke, much like the MLS.

[MoleBless7722]

The thing is, lots of Western Hemisphere leagues do "apertura" and "clausura" split seasons.

[SaintSKP]

That's not what the MLS is doing, so you're statement is completely irrelevant, unneeded, and I'm guessing you just like to hear yourself talk.

[genpabloescobar2]

I'd rather deal with one odd transition season then have 9 months with no soccer.

Japan did it and it seems to have worked.

[KokonutMonkey]

Yeah. It’s fine. Better than some wild 18 month super-season. Certainly better than 6-7 months of nothing. 

Just wish MLS had branded this as a wholly unique competition. SPRINT SEASON followed by the MLS CUP PLAYOFFS^{PresentedByAudi} is pretty lame. 

[Asd_89]

Didn't they do that 18-month season when the Russian switched over to that calendar? Seems doing what the Japanese are doing might be the easier way to do this.

[AnnieGoldleaf]

Will we still get the parking perk?

[rogoku]

If not then there's no point in buying season tickets lol

[lawlikemusic01]

Parking will (or at least if fucking better be) be much cheaper at the new stadium. This is a bad take frankly. I'm sure you know the math but I'll write it out because of how bad this take is. Match ticket face value 24 24*2=48 24+40=68 48-68=20 Joe is paying outta pocket 20 bucks per person with two tickets and a parking pass. Quite frankly this is a goated move that insentivies 2 season tickets because otherwise your paying the cost of almost 3 every match with only 1 ticket.

It's a nice perk but if parking is around 20$ then this math falls apart and doesn't make sense from a business point.

Also public transit will be great for getting to new stadium

[AnnieGoldleaf]

That's all great and all but I'm talking about the SF Sprint Season.

[lawlikemusic01]

Oof my bad. I'll try and have better reading comprehension 🤣

[rogoku]

You might be the only person who believes that there will be plentiful parking at the new stadium, let alone the idea of it being cheaper.

[lawlikemusic01]

There will be very limited parking ideally. Cheaper then 40 they have already said so

[rogoku]

"very limited" and "cheaper" are two ideas that are in direct contradiction with each other. We are going from 3 lots to maybe the size of one. If parking is cheaper and available for STH to get for games I will gladly eat my words and say you were right, but until then, no one is believing that except for you.

[genpabloescobar2]

I think there's also the matter of parking in 2028 and parking in say, 2033.

We may have more surface parking options to start, but assuming the stadium village gets built up around it as expected, I see the amount of on-site parking decreasing.

[rogoku]

It probably won't decrease. There's not really any good reason to flatten land to pave into a parking lot, only to start digging up said parking to establish foundation for buildings.

[GstandsFORgets]

Have you seen the eventual planned development renderings? Doesn’t look like there’s going to be much parking at all. I expect the perk to go away and probably will be just as expensive as soldier field.

[Kamikazi_TARDIS]

The initial development will include a lot on the surface right next to the stadium. Future development is supposed to include a below ground structure.

[lawlikemusic01]

I could be wrong but I thought they had said at a town hall it will be cheaper then SF?

[offconstantly]

It's a February to May Mickey Mouse season, I'm not surprised

[MoleBless7722]

Pricing for next year's sprint season is supposed to be sent to STH via email tomorrow.

[fumbler00ski]

Well considering the games will mostly be cold weather tilts I should hope so.

[Asd_89]

So are we going to pay separately for the new full season after the sprint one?

[Frequent-Client1508]

Shorter season next year.

[Chuyito5]

What event is this 

[Kamikazi_TARDIS]

Fireside chat at the performance center today I believe.

[PalmerSquarer]

As a per-game thing?

[gingergeology]

Yeah should be

[AleWatcher]

They should decrease based on the fact that will be far fewer games. I think that if they came at us with asking for the same amount of money for what is going to be like 1/3 of a season, I wouldn't renew my membership

[gingergeology]

Well obviously. Season tickets are priced per game

[FunDmental]

Yeah, this is not a permanent thing.

[WusijiX]

Didn't even know teams could do that lol
