I’m a very casual soccer fan at best but always willing to support local sport. I see myself as the demographic that this kind of initiative should be targeting.

I am going to have to echo a lot of the sentiments already in this thread. Personally, I would love for this to be an event I can take my kids to. However, the pricing simply isn’t feasible for a family of 4. If I am understanding correctly the cheapest seat for public purchase is north of $50. $200 to walk in the door is an absolute deal breaker...

If you consider that the surrounding area to Spruce Meadows is very much a suburban type demographic with lots of families and children it makes no sense to not target it. Hoping next year they can be more competitive so we can embrace it!

I should add that now there are no GA tickets showing up. I wonder if they add them in the days leading up to each match.
