The start of a new football campaign is a time for excitement and dreams. It’s no different with the Vancouver Whitecaps, who are hoping that 2020 will be a special year for a club embarking on their 10th season in MLS. However, the club was given a wake-up call ahead of Saturday’s home opener against Sporting KC. And it came courtesy of their very own fanbase.
As reported by Harjeet Johal of Pro Soccer USA, the Whitecaps have only sold 8,800 season tickets. Combined with other types of ticket plans for 2020, sales are down 17% from last year.
