June 10, 20196 yr New renderings of the inside, club areas, etc. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2019/06/10/austin-fc-release-latest-renderings-new-stadium
June 10, 20196 yr Not really. I looked at Houston for an example, and it looks like anywhere from around $400 to well into the several thousands depending on location and amenities.

I looked at Houston for an example, and it looks like anywhere from around $400 to well into the several thousands depending on location and amenities. I did the same and came up with the same range. Cheap seats around $500 up to around $2K for premium seats with club access + parking. That's for 20 matches - 17 regular season plus a few extra matches. Austin FC president did say their cheapest season tickets would be close to the $20 level that they guaranteed Austin City Council as part of the stadium deal (as in a certain percentage of tickets have to be priced at $20).

June 10, 20196 yr I suspect they'll have a few hundred in the upper corners for $20/match, most will be significantly more. Supporters sections across MLS run from $280 - $550. I'm expecting Austin to be in the higher range of that, maybe the upper 400s.

June 12, 20196 yr Page won't even load up. [Hank Hill voice ] Dangit Bobby(Epstein) [/Hank Hill voice]
June 12, 20196 yr The ignorance required to let a web server overload happen in today's cloud service world is staggering.Good job you chucklefucks.
June 12, 20196 yr I signed up for whatever I signed up for this morning. I doubt I'll end up getting season passes, but at least I'll have the opportunity. More likely to buy single game tickets on an as needed basis. Â
June 12, 20196 yr Started refreshing at 9:59 and got in at exactly 10:00. Had my deposit paid in less than a minute. Hopefully, it results in having a good selection of seats to choose from.

June 12, 20196 yr The nutty grackle people got in at 9:00 am for the double-top secret supporters section. I didn't bother with that because soccer supporters are crazy.
June 12, 20196 yr Is this it or is this different? https://www.fevo.com/edp/Austin-FC-Deposit-Event-QIRohcpM Â Got this off Twitter.

June 12, 20196 yr Yeah austinfc.com still downThat fevo link worked on my phone just now.Took maybe a minute and a half
June 12, 20196 yr Ya that fevo link is what my men's league team got sent by someone. So either our group is together, or we all just paid money to some enterprising individual.

You probably know, but the standing sections have seats you can fold down. Probably not comfortable for long periods, but I could see the use. Â
June 12, 20196 yr Was pretty early in paying $100 for premium. Now I wait to see what exactly premium means.
June 12, 20196 yr I have worked on the assumption it will be similar to crew, field seating, center circle, and a sections nearest to center  https://www.columbuscrewsc.com/tickets/premium-seating  fortunately, today's reservation is fully refundable Edited June 12, 20196 yr by pacman

The stadium section of the Austin FC website also mentions several club areas.
June 13, 20196 yr I'd expect Austin to be quite a bit more than FC Dallas per ticket.I certainly hope so. Our supporter section is shitty bleachers
June 13, 20196 yr Austin FC sets Major League Soccer record with largest number of season ticket membership deposits secured in a single day https://view.fanmail.austinfc.com/?qs=11952b0df41927f37a0e822f74be0738da99ef7dee44422f911fcb08b5ef2d3621636b317503a190770897e299214f2a23aab2fe86eda148c867ea5db39eb865587c6570af78eb371abc23f576bc5100
June 13, 20196 yr Hell, at least 5 people in our office alone reserved batches of tickets. I don’t think they’re going to have enough seats for everyone who put in a deposit.
June 13, 20196 yr I bet less than half of the people putting in a deposit actually purchase season tickets.
June 13, 20196 yr 10 minutes ago, Jerry Callo said: I bet less than half of the people putting in a deposit actually purchase season tickets. I wonder what the studies say. What percentage of deposits actually turn into purchases?Â
June 13, 20196 yr 1 hour ago, Jerry Callo said: I bet less than half of the people putting in a deposit actually purchase season tickets. Well, of course. You're reserving a place in line, and most people probably put down deposits along with other people they intend to sit with. Then, you'll end up choosing seats from the account that has the best spot in the line among that group. That said, I have no doubt that overall season ticket purchases will still be very high. Season 1 should be a sellout for most games. It's the novelty of having a pro franchise, and it's the only pro game in town. How the franchise does in year 2, 3 and 4 will be the real test of the market, and I think that will largely come down to the game day experience and atmosphere.Â

June 13, 20196 yr 2 hours ago, JNip said: See Formula 1 Formula 1 doesn't have any accompanying hometown allegiances or pride. To the extent Austin takes ownership of the team, it will be a successful franchise. Â
June 13, 20196 yr From their FB page: Quote Austin FC, Austin’s Major League Soccer (MLS) club, announced that at 1 p.m. CDT today it has secured deposits totaling over 30,000 seats. Read more: https://austinfc.com/#news Â
June 13, 20196 yr Author even if HALF of those commit to actual season tix, that will probably be the total overall cap for ST anyway. They'll want single game traffic too, obviously. Pretty good for an endeavor a lot of dumbasses around Ohio and even Austin said would catastrophically fail. Edited June 13, 20196 yr by Bottlecap
