MLS Whitecaps Look To Boost Season-Ticket Sales With Discount

The MLS Whitecaps starting Saturday will open a 12-day window for fans to purchase '13 season tickets for 12% off. The use of the number 12 in the promotion is a reference to the fans being the team's "12th man" at home games. This comes after season-ticket sales "dropped from around 15,500 in year one to 13,000 at the start of this season." Marketing around the promotion features the slogan, "The offer is on the table," and depicts coach Martin Rennie "pushing a contract and pen to the viewer" (Vancouver PROVINCE, 9/19).
