Lomonty Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 A buddy and teammate of mine is planning on attending the game, he's a proud Peruvian by birth and a helluva a guy. Any V's had any contact with the CSA or Peruvian groups about what section they'll be in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garom Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I don't know if I will be in Toronto in time for the game, but how much cost the cheapest ticket in the match day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Bob Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 The Peruvian supporters section is actually at Ivor Wynne Stadium in Hamilton. Counterintuitive I know, but just make sure all your Peruvian buddies go to Hamilton on game day and you'll have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanKeay Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Because North End Elite are in section 127 for TFC games and want to stay there for the Canada game, seems fair... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canadian sections are actually less split up than before, with the Voyageurs section moving from 104 to 114 (right next to U-Sector in 113).

Obinna Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 what do you guys think attendance is going to be like for this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrennanFan Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 the BMO people told me that the upper levels will be closed off for this game. the peru support is spilling into 119 and 118. doesn't seem like the game will be well attended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I figured this game would be similar to the Costa Rica match in that way. A friendly against Peru was always going to be a hard sell in such a soccer-saturated summer. Oh well. We'll just have to be that much louder.

With 16k season ticket holders, and what, 14k on waiting lists... Seems like people are dying for a chance to see soccer at BMO field. Well here it is, and seems like we'll get 12k if we're lucky.

Seems like people are dying for a chance to see soccer at BMO field. Well here it is, and seems like we'll get 12k if we're lucky. I think what we are seeing here is that the market for soccer matches in Toronto has become totally over-saturated. Just look at how badly all the friendlies with big name Euro clubs did this summer in Toronto. 5 years ago those games probably all sell out. In a way we're spoiled now. Plus there is very little optimism surrounding the national team. Going into the Jamaica match in 2008 there was a bit of a buzz and hope about qualification. Today its a lot different.

ag futbol Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Agreed this city has been stuffed with as much soccer as it could possibly handle this summer. That being said, if the CSA wants to get the word out there about this match they need to step up marketing efforts. Even within the different teams that came here this summer, the amount of promotion was quite different. Inter-PAOK advertised quite a lot, while Juve-Flo didn't do much. Anyway, if you want to get your message out there you have to communicate with the public. I realize this isn't always easy you really do have to start somewhere.

jpg75 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Even TFC are having trouble filling BMO for the CCL. I heard an ad running on Q107 this morning for next weeks Cruz Azul game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 The answer may be for the national team to test out new waters during these friendlies. Sure put the big WCQ at BMO, but why not a game out in Vancouver again? There are plenty of other markets that would be dying for MNT soccer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't really see the point in putting any games there. Even a poorly-attended game at BMO will outdraw Swangard and its tiny capacity.

Just look at how badly all the friendlies with big name Euro clubs did this summer in Toronto. 5 years ago those games probably all sell out. In a way we're spoiled now. I agree that the market is over-saturated to an extent, but I still think high ticket prices greatly reduce attendance figures. All of the friendlies at BMO Field and Skydome have been overpriced, and the Canada/Peru friendly isn't much better. I can't imagine how many $100+ premium seats will sell for this game. Sadly, ticket prices will probably be the same at BMO for the next Canada friendly, even if none of the expensive seats sell for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say put a game in Ottawa but they tore done half the stands at the only viable stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
