Then goes on to clarify that the CPL is Canada's Division 1 league whereas MLS is the US' Division 1 league that happens to have 3 Canadian teams.
The guy who asked the question left shortly after.

IMO the new set of prices make much of the pricing complaint redundant. The expensive tickets are a lot less expensive now.
They are also making an effort to fill in the middle of the grandstand. The 45th anniversary special makes the bottom of 104/106 and top of 105 section cheaper than 103/107 was last year. Plus, with the special its only 3 bucks per game more than the next cheaper level. I'm pretty confident some season ticket holders will choose to take the upgrade for $3/ticket, which then leaves them more of the less expensive seats to sell on gameday.
Also - there is an error in the table above Shermanator - or at least I think so, because the original graphic from the club has a similar error. Sections 103/107 are showing in your table as different prices, but from the picture they are both the same price, just split front/back. It's confusing, because in the accompanying text from the club, section 103 isn't shown as split by rows, but does appear in both orange/red. Not a big deal but thought I'd mention it. Thanks for doing that, by the way - super helpful for those of us considering new season purchases.
