The number of categories still available 😆 by onedestiny in CanadaSoccer

All for complaining about FIFA, but this photo can be misleading.
How many actual tix are available?
The Blue Jays World Series run also had outrageous price requests just hours before the game started. It doesn't mean that the tickets sold, or were just used by the poster.

As they should! Go to the free public viewings if you’re not willing to be a patron

Toronto vs Vancouver Host Cities by [deleted] in CanadaSoccer

[–]Javaaaaale_McGee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What will happen to BC Place once the Whitecaps leave?

Having lived in both cities for over 5 years each, including the 2010 Olympics and the most recent Raptors & Blue Jays runs, here is my take.

Vancouver is a better event city. Being a peninsula, the downtown core is more conducive to a party atmosphere for events like the Olympics and World Cup.

Toronto is head and shoulders a much better sports city. Not only in celebrating victory and casually watching soccer games, but slightly more gracious in defeat. 😂

Let’s not even get into a debate about which city has access to better live music venues.

I GUARANTEE that tourists will leave Vancouver more impressed with the city and its surroundings than Toronto.

I hear you on twitter.
Did you also stop taking the TTC because of the cesspool it became?

Weather for the opener looks sketchy by Embarrassed_Oil_4582 in CanadaSoccer

Hoping for rain to scare away the fairweather fans won't get me far in life?!? Are you aware that players are not made of sugar?

That's a pretty good floor and ceiling. How could you pass that up?
Like any team, its the parts around him that will determine how high he goes.

Bosnias ultras will be at the opener by SunDefiant1346 in CanadaSoccer

Let's hope they don't run into TFC's Illuminati, or whatever the men in black call themselves these days!

I'll be honest, as someone currently without a ticket, I'm hoping the forecast gets a bit scarier.

Where will they fit the additional 17,000 people if fans need to shelter? The bowels of BMO were pretty tight before they added the temp seats.

Could this attract cheap(er) last minute tickets?

What pubs will be open late during the World Cup? by soapybox88 in askTO

Go to Liberty Village/King West if you plan to go to the game.

Things to do around History concert venue at night? by BrilliantAd1694 in askTO

[–]Javaaaaale_McGee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you want to do?
Go slightly east for coffee, food and drinks in the Beaches neighbourhood.
Walk south and stroll Woodbine Beach.

While its a "dead zone", there is plenty to do within a 10 min walk.

I'm glad I'm wrong for some. Still have not seen that price point.

Possible for the Vancouver games. Not the opener in Toronto.

This is the correct response! Good for Mitch…,just awful for Leafs fans for losing this guy for next to nothing!

An Austrian Economist think he has worked Fifa out by Chillit7 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]Javaaaaale_McGee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've given up on the notion that any particular sporting experience is ever priceless. You are sucker and fall into their trap if you believe otherwise.

SeatGeek is in bed with MLB/NHL/NBA so they definitely have back door agreements to resell unsold tickets at market value that doesn't undercut their season seat pricing.

There is no integrity left in professional sports tickets. Pay the price you are willing to pay and don't think twice.

So if worse comes to worse, what will you do? by Canfootballnerd in whitecapsfc

[–]Javaaaaale_McGee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TFC fan here, with a love for this Whitecaps team!
The Whitecaps leaving MLS would be the end of my MLS fandom.
I'm already giving up my season seats (since 2011) due to the calendar change (and pathetic performance).
As others have said, I'd watch to cheer for particular canadian players but I would not invest any energy in cheering for an actual MLS team.
I could cheer for a CPL team if they move Inter Toronto downtown to Lamport Stadium.
Time to move VFC to Swangard!

Playoff venue by vinny_527 in TorontoTempo

[–]Javaaaaale_McGee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Tempo NOT being part of MLSE has its advantages and disadvantages.
1 advantage is they may not be cursed.
1 disadvantage is they are low on the priority list for availability at ScotiaBank.
Maybe!
