3,000 Accounts: Mission Accomplished

I'm also sure besides the fact that the NYC market is satured a lot of people will be buying single game tickets due to being unable to fully commit their time.

I would agree with this. I'm buying in for the season even though due to my work schedule I'm not sure I'll be able to attend every game. If a partial season packages where available it would have been a tough choice.

What is that about? Please post at least a minimum description instead of just a link. Especially to a shady site which my malware blockers don't let me go to.

Edit: Just read the article, and like most articles from that site it has no real information.

Your malware blocker blocks EoS? Do you also hold the rail on escalators and wear UV protective clothing?

c/p from the article...

Neither Atlanta nor Orlando City F.C. have been shy about their season ticket outreach. In fact, both have openly touted their success in driving interest to their coming product.
Despite the hoopla that preceded their arrival, New York City F.C. have maintained a quiet stance about their numbers — until now.
The club reached out to its current season ticket base, announcing a significant milestone; NYCFC has sold 3,000 “Founding Member Accounts.”
While an important revelation, it only tells part of the story. Usually, season tickets are sold in packages ranging from one to eight seats per account, making 3,000 simply a baseline number for the true seats-sold. These ticket holders can range from the average fan to large corporations.
Orlando City has been more forthcoming about their actual seat count. After an initial push for season ticket holders landed 5,000 seats sold in their first week, their World Cup push landed them just shy of the 7,500 number.
Atlanta has an impressive count, but their numbers are even less revealing than those of NYCFC. The club, scheduled to come into play in 2017, has received a reported 12,700 pledges and 4,430 Founder’s Club members as of early July. The problem with said pledges are that they only require a refundable amount of $50 for their inclusion to becoming a “Founding Member;” hardly a commitment to count on with the team still three years from taking the field.
NYCFC are still in the building process for the 2015 season. They currently have superstar David Villa, along with MLS-ers Jeb Brovsky and Josh Saunders on their roster. They begin play March of 2015 in Yankee Stadium.

so basically the content is exactly what the title of the thread says.

Maybe the link was posted with the feeling there's nothing shady about it. Certainly hasn't blocked me.

Could every season ticket holder on this board list exactly how many packages they have purchased? Then add figures of non forum members who they know have purchased packages and how many. That way we might get the closest estimate. Some people thought it wouldn't pass the 10,000 mark which is proving to be laughable. If its not quite over that line yet without a doubt it will be soon.

An email could be sent out asking members to come on and post this information.

Why is the club keeping this tight to the chest? You'd figure they'd want to announce it for good press...

CFG is a very tight-lipped organisation by nature. They prefer to let their actions do the talking rather than blow their own trumpets.
