Arsenal game starts at 3. Midweek, so it must be a CL game.

This terrifies me. Chelsea is where promising young careers go to die. Or more likely, go out on loan never to return. Pulisic to Liverpool worries me a little, but I don't see him getting regular minutes at Chelsea. Hell, he hasn't been getting great minutes at Dortmund of late.

I think there's a very good chance that one or both of Pedro and Willian aren't on the squad next year. I think Pulisic would be a fantastic replacement.

Playing time on any big club is hard to come by for a young player.

Do any of you have MLS season tickets?

Check out Cavalry FC's insane ticket prices. Nobody is going to go.

How many games in a season?

Just checked the "york9" team which will be playing in the north end of Toronto. Seasons tickets from $200-$900.

Ambitiously, they are trying to sell executive suites in a 2,500 seat stadium.

I am close to buying DC United Season tickets. You can get seats behind the goal (opposite side from Barra Brava, etc) for $20 a ticket per game.

NY Red Bulls -- last three seasons. renewed for fourth.
across 17 games, comes to $19 a seat -

my buddies and I will have 9 seats in the corner, front row next season - theres 8 of us.. so we'll make $ on the 9th

those are lower mid price seats -- two levels up in the pricing i think. cheaper in second deck in ends.. stadium is good size, no bad seats.. paying $30+ per seat in the middle not worth it to me.
all sorts of deals on merch and fast access to beer lines.

holy shit, seriously?

we didn't renew our tickets this year because they went up to nearly $40 a ticket. We're in the lower-middle class section of sideline seats too. One section away from the expensive seats on our side of the field (the other side are super expensive)

bizarre to me that NYRB tickets are much better than tickets in freaking Kansas City

SKC also makes you purchase 20 games too

I would assume supply and demand? KC has like 1,200 seats and they’re always filled.

In a rare moment, I had the good sense to get in early on Atlanta United. As a result, I have first row seats in the second deck for just over $20 a pop. They’ll go up, but the inflation rate is lower for founders. Best investment in America.

~6K more seats, though I think it's worth pointing out that SKC is still trying to sell tickets to tomorrow night's game. the demand has decreased significantly. we used to never have trouble offloading our tickets at our season ticket discounted face value ($12 lower than single game). this year it was impossible at times.

We picked up season tickets for the Rapids next year. Last year, their youth club merged with the club my son was in. Went to a couple games at discounted rates as a result. But found out we could get season tickets at $250/each because he's in their youth club. Works out to less than $15 a game. I know they aren't that great, but the kids enjoy it and it's fun watching some of the other teams come through.

Apparently DC raised tickets on everyone and are currently between 90 and 95% renewal. Helps to have a good team on the field.

Also story starting to emerge the Villa is done with the MLS and will finish his career in Japan.

Apparently they wanted the Saturday game postponed because they were going out on a stag night Friday night.

The opposition wanted to send a wreath and called the guy's employer for his address and that's how they were caught out.
