TFC used to sell hockey tickets - D.

I still find it funny how some people in Toronto claim that the city will always will be a Hockey city.

I beg to differ.

Recently, Toronto FC sold out 16,000 season tickets at BMO field leaving a small amount of room for half-season ticket packages. These packages come with a few Toronto Marlies tickets as well. 18 months ago, I would have bet dollars-to-donuts that anyone in Toronto would guess that it would have to be marketed the reverse to generate interest in Soccer. Obviously, not the case.

And as for Hockey pundits Damien Cox (Toronto Star) and Bob MacKenzie (TSN), I'd like to kick a soccer ball smack in their faces and scream "WAKE UP!!". Only 6 months ago, they had publicly advertised soccer as being due to fail in this city and country. Obviously, with a sold out BMO field and selling Marlies tickets through the thriving TFC franchise, Soccer is on the verge of collapse in the Great White North, right?

Wrong! :)

Cheers!
