Got mine today. Opened it with my kids. Pretty exciting.
Inaugural Nycfc Season Ticket Packages
- Thread starter BxLio91
- Start date
Got mine today. 4 of everything. Only thing that bothered me was after buying ST I told my kids and told them about the scarves with the names. 13 and 17 at the time they wanted to know if their names were on it(something I didn't think about when buying tickets) I said no but told them that I would ask if we could change it to our family name. sent an email to ticket rep who replied that it would be my name on the scarf as the ticket holder. then when contacted about the spelling of the name on the scarf( this was my chance to change it-I thought) I replied that I would like our name followed by family. they didn't change it. Fucking 1st world problems.
Jerks. My son asked is his name was on it as well. I felt bad. I should have done our name followed by family. Oh well.
Thanks for that Nicholas! Can't wait to open mine!
Anyone else think the scarf is a piece of crap? Very disappointed in the quality of it.
Five lines from the top, right hand side someone got listed as "Bennin Family." Two lines below that on the left "Brady Law Firm." You done got shafted. Maybe you had to sign up that way from the beginning?
No Mariano Rivera. Maybe he listed a family member. Maybe the whole first STH was a lie. Maybe some jerkwad at Steiner Sports wouldn't let NYCFC put his name on it without a fee.
Sublimation printing is the only way to do the names that small but they used a really cheap material. also its really poorly sewn on the fringe and does not have made in or care tags that i can see. all of which I believe is needed in the US in garments, but a scarf may not be considered a garment.
Nah - don't feel bad. How were you supposed to know that you could include Family? I wanted the Initial of my middle name to be included but it was not. Besides the names are so tiny, you need a magnifying glass to see them. I liked the packaging. Overall I am happy with everything.
My Mr. Negative side is back in full effect.
I was excited. I really, REALLY, wanted to like this.
On the plus side, the box and sleeve were nicer and better quality than I expected after seeing the pictures, but not as nice as Orlando's looked. But everything else is either meh or a negative, for me at least.
The cards are fine. They're cards, with the team logos and colors. They're not awesome and they're not disappointing. They are the cards I expected. But I'm not wearing them around my neck. The lanyard is a waste, although it seems nice enough and for those who like lanyards, more power to you. They're not inherently a waste, but they are for me.
I'm definitely not wearing a cheap plastic baby blue bracelet as I'm not a fucking newborn. And damn that's a cheap plastic piece of crap. I've seen higher quality prizes given out to 5-year old kids for "giving it a good shot" at a carney booth a church bazaar. The team should be embarrassed.
The scarf is a true disappointment. The legibility of the names is poor. Material is kind of plastic and weird for a scarf. Design is so-so. Maybe it couldn't have been done better but they should have thought of that before they designed it.
Most importantly. Was very much hoping for a commemorative ticket for the first game. Would have been the least expensive yet most impressive thing in the package but nobody in the organization had any fucking imagination.
Bottom line, the games are the thing. A nice STH package would have been a bonus. I don't hate the package, but it did absolutely nothing to make me go: WOW, I'm so glad I'm a Founding Member - they really made it worthwhile.
So let's just start playing the damn games already because the business side of this organization just disappointed me again with their ancillary incompetence and lack of creativity. Thank goodness the CBA got worked out.

Haha, great rant.
I agree that having a fancy ticket for the first game (similar to what you get at the World Cup or Super Bowl) to keep as a souvenir would be nice. I was actually considering printing out the ticket as if I was selling it to someone else so that I have that souvenir, but it's probably going to look like a shitty airline boarding pass, so that defeats the point.
I think my email just got missed and I'm OK with that. Scarf aside I love the team that they put together.
LETS GO WIN
that cityzens program is nice and it says it starts at noon, so everybody connect your twitter account with cityzens follow NYCFC(you probably do already) and start re-tweeting and mentioning to get those 5 points ( It says 5 points maximum per day)
