Just got an email from Ticketmaster and thought, "Ooh! My ticket was finally sold!"

 

Then I read the email and saw it was a presale offer for a Nickleback concert ...

His signing will make a difference for soccer fans but with limited impact on fans of American football or basketball.

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

Good for you, but there should be a rule against selling supporter section tix to away supporters.   Just ain't right.

His signing is so similar to signing of Pele or David Beckham. It certainly will make a difference for soccer fans but with limited impact on fans of American football or basketball. Maybe this will be an opening for sports talk radio to talk more about the beautiful game.

I have been flooded with interest from my non-soccer fan friends.

Hope the SG's are talking with the front office about this to come up with a way to ensure this doesn't end up a disaster.

Ha! Salary cap rules! MLS will just make a new exception, like they did for Luis Hernandez... or for David Beckham... or for Clint Dempsey... Or for... well, whatever.

They also need to get of Pizarro but I was so high in high at Chivas but disappointed by his last 2 years
Hes a 10 we could use perhaps but not sure if he is more wing 2nd striker and we have that covered

Pizarro will probably end up in Mexico or get bought out. Not sure if they could buy down campana to a TAM or have to trade him. I wouldnt be opposed to trading for him. Supposedly Miami has no depth at CM. Maybe offer yearwood, draft picks? They will be desperate since they want to bring in 2 more DPs. Reyes and Morgan worked out well for us. Maybe campana does as well

From everything I've read you can add up all the tickets you've bought for the year, for example me for the Devils and Red Bulls, say it's 2k for the cost of that. If I've only sold 1k worth of tickets I won't owe any tax. It's only if I sold over the 2k initial cost of all the tickets that I'd then owe money on whatever I sold over, for example if I sold 3k worth of tickets then I'd owe tax on 1k since my initial cost was 2k.

Obviously still have to file but it's not as bad as I originally thought after reading about it more.

Its a good way to potentially open yourself up for audit. However if you are comfortable, make sure you have detailed records and notes if the audit comes.

Seriously doubt the front office would consider 25,000 people filling RBA any kind of disaster regardless of how SGs might feel about who is in their seats.

What do you think are the potential consequences of a bunch of Miami fans being in the SUPPORTERS SECTION?
