2017 renewals

[Will]

I'll re-echo what Gabe just said in this thread!

[argotom]

I just call from the Argo office this afternoon, from a Candace also working with Rob Richardson in calling the season ticket holders.
Trying to entice me with the big $50 CREDIT.
Boy did I unload on her, mind you in a nice way not belligerent.
Realizing she was only the messenger.
Gave her several concerns from the on field product, the game days and right at the top feeling ripped off by the GC tickets, mine like most of you were half price or less after we purchased.
Told her also I am meeting with a bunch of my neighbours to see our further course of action on top of which there is no way I will renew until the schedule comes out.
Told her I will not be pressured to renew with their deadline at the end of January, since she indicated the schedule will be out likely in February at the earliest.
The games cannot be all through the week except Wednesday, has to be the weekend.
Any one else get a call?

Curious, did they have the phones ringing again? We're you able to find out how many ST have been sold this year?

LMFAO...People at work think I've lost my mind.

I played telephone tag with Michael Carter all week, and finally spoke to him and renewed today. Nice guy, and I'm sure he was very happy that I was on his list of people to call rather than AT.

I also have a new ticket rep for the Argos, and a new ticket rep for the Rock as well. I received my phone call earlier this week, and I brought up that the plan right now is not to renew, and I wanted my credit paid back. I explained that until Barker and Milanovich are gone (also brought up how much I loathed the Drew Willy trade) that I wouldn't be coming back.

[BATKINSON001]

I just renewed. I had a credit on my visa from a Kickstarter charge that was refunded so my $300 season seat ($220 after Argos credit - 50 + 30) was only around $120.

I couldn't resist at that price. Btw anyone know what the crf charge is in the price breakdown?

[BATKINSON001]

Doesnt explain what the crf is. Is it an acronym for something?

Capital replacement fund - it's essentially just a facility/seat fee.

[Tobythor]

I renewed. I went from Silver A ($500) to the fanzone in section 114 ($299). After the reduction in price from my credits from last year it was under $200 per ticket. Even after all the disappointments of last year, both on and off the field, I still want to support the team and be there. If the product improves maybe will look into better seats again. I'm looking forward to being close to the band, I always enjoy the atmosphere they bring to the game!

This is imperative information that needs to be found out.

yes it is. Asap.

[Treblecharger1]

Renewed back in 114... Great group of guys in that section.

[vanhalen26]

I'm renewing but fewer seats.

[Neely2005]

I'm renewing but fewer seats.

We did the same.

[ArgoGabe22]

Renewing the same 2 seats in the new year. I hate witnessing players who give up on their team, in all sports, whether professional or recreational. So, as a fan why should I give up supporting this team?

I like that attitude Gabe. By some of the comments I see on here, I am starting to think that (aholes aside) TFC does have a better and more loyal group of fans. They put up with 8-10 years of crap, prior to the last 2 years, and this year especially, and they kept coming back.

FWIW I do agree. Now, I don't want to turn this into another Milo-Barker thread, but to put it mildly I've never disliked a coach more than Scott Milanovich, I've hated the direction he's taken this team. IMO that says a lot considering what Mike Kelly did in Winnipeg. You want to talk about contempt for the fans, Kelly flat out told the media that he didn't give a rats ass what the fans and media thought about him or how he ran the team, and that everyone should just shut up - I'm not kidding about that btw.

It's not easy for me to decide to vote with my feet, but I'm not going to sit through another season of watching this craptastic offence (2010-2016 is long enough). My cousin who sits with me during games brought up that he noticed I wasn't into games the way I used to be, I'm a lot quieter and I can predict where the ball is going about 80% of the time to my own dismay. This season I left games early 3 times, I've never done that in my life - no matter the score I've sat through every second of Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Mississauga Icedogs, Mississauga Majors, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Indycar, F1, AFL (Aussie Rules football), and Toronto Raptors, Rock, Leafs, Marlies and Argo games in the past. People here may not get why I won't renew until Barker and especially Milo are gone, and while it's nobody's business what I do with my money, I've been losing my fandom of this team in the last 3 and 1/2 years, so for me it's justified to do what I feel I have to do.
