Toronto FC Stops Selling Season Tickets For Inaugural Season

Toronto FC Cuts Off Sales Of Season Tickets

Toronto FC said it has sold out of ’07 season tickets and luxury suites for its inaugural MLS season. The team has sold 14,000 season tickets at the 20,000-seat BMO Field at Exhibition Place (Toronto FC). MLSE Exec VP & COO Tom Anselmi said that cutting off season-ticket sales “was necessary because of commitments to group sales and so the team could keep tickets available for mini-packages and single-game sales.” The team will sell half-season packages starting April 2 and create a season-ticket waiting list. In Toronto, Larry Millson writes MLSE execs “thought there would be a good response to the team, but this has exceeded their expectations” (Toronto GLOBE & MAIL, 3/16).
