I never thought about the ticket prices affecting the amount of sales. I looked into it a little. The mariners lowest price per ticket for a season pack is $13. The sounders are $16. They seem pretty close but don't forget the MLS only plays 30 games a season.




true...but what is the high end of the mariners tickets? and box seats? these days...its hard to sell season tickets anymore. i would think anyway.

True. Again bringing up the ticket prices is a good point. Hopefully the Sounders can keep up the ticket sale. Since it's their first season people are curious, so interest is high.

I hope the sounders keep it up. They have something special in seattle right now, the fans back that team 110%. Did you hear that they also announced two more expansion teams for 2011? I think the MLS will have 18 teams after Vancouver, Portland, and Philidelphia(2010).

I know a lot of people don't even know what the MLS is, but I am just glad we have a domestic league. It will really help level of soccer here grow. Plus its fun to watch the league.

Was that a single game score? Or were they playing a triple header and that was the total score?

ok! so there is talk that Theirry Henry, weird french name, is considering playing soccer in the United States. This is huge, it is like Kobe Bryant going to play in a european basketball league. Thoughts?

I doubt anybody will give him as much money as they did Beckham. Henry isn't a marketing tool like becks is. Besides Henry gets a pretty large check right now anyway.

I meant the MLS will never give him a bigger contract than he has now. He is paid pretty darn well in Barcelona. Besides he said he didn't care about the money.
