    Right after the game I had to go take a piss so I didn't burst once we got on the train.  Walking against the grain of the crowd coming towards me and I notice Claudio Reyna, in a suit, a phone to his

    That. Was fucking. NUTS. Wildly frustrated that we couldn’t put more than one in with a man advantage, but my frustration didn’t appear to help them. My wife had a conflict, so I took one of my olde

Any idea how much season tickets will be? 

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 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).

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.

Agree with this expectation on SG tickets.

Yep. FC Dallas season tickets for me this year cost 360

I expect you're right

Page won't even load up. 

The ignorance required to let a web server overload happen in today's cloud service world is staggering.

Good job you chucklefucks.

These dudes definitely did not prepare for this crap. Site crashed.

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.  

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.

What happened this morning? Thought that it was at 10am.

Yeah.  That was 10 minutes ago - 10:00 a.m.

After dealing with the crashed page for a couple minutes prior to 10:00.

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.

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.

I skipped that since the support section is standing room only.  I like to complain about my team while sitting down.

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.

Was pretty early in paying $100 for premium. Now I wait to see what exactly premium means.

I have worked on the assumption it will be similar to crew, field seating, center circle, and a sections nearest to center

fortunately, today's reservation is fully refundable
Yeah I figured that premium seats included some in frontish rows and near midfield. The stadium section of the Austin FC website also mentions several club areas.
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

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.

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?

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.

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.  

Wonder how expensive seats with parking will be

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.

Atlanta converted 22,000 of the 31,000 deposits they got in the first few months.

They also have a slightly larger stadium.

Sure. Don’t know how that relates to the percentage of ticket deposits who convert to actual tickets.

Pointing out that they could convert 22k and still have tens of thousands of seats to sell. Austin FC doesn’t even have 22k seats to sell.
