How often do you sell out matches? Who are your local rivals?

The club sells out most home games and has a season ticket waiting list of over 10,000. League rivals are NY Red Bulls and Columbus Crew however main rivals are Montreal Impact and Vancouver Whitecaps on the basis they are canadian.

MLSE keeps tracks of tickets sold vs people coming in through the gate. Majority of games are sold out, this said, due to constant increases to season tickets (ticket cost doubled since 2007), we're starting to see some attrition. Also it doesnt' help the cause that we have no roof, spring and fall games are usually quite wet ;)

Cheapest stadium in the world! $62.5 Canadian Dollars...and to think the MLSE can't afford to give DeRo a raise. Shame! Sorry....just pointing out a typo ;)
