Yesterday, Katie and I canceled our Sounders season tickets. We've had them since 2013. This isn't me winding up to make some screed about how angry I am at the club. The reality is, it just became a luxury we couldn't afford anymore, and the friends who have been buying tickets with us have dwindled.
At the peak, we had ten seats which we bought and friends bought in to us. But that has dwindled to fewer and fewer until we had one other couple who came to games with us this season and they decided they weren't going to renew for next season. And, we completely got it. We were in the same place. Them deciding to cancel gave us the permission we needed to also cancel.
We'll still go to games. We'll still watch nearly every game. We still love the Sounders. We just won't hold tickets to every game next season.
It's a bummer. Talking with a friend who was considering canceling his ticket, he struggled with the decision to do so because it was very much a core element of who he was. A sentiment I very much understand as a die-hard fan. But, for us, we just took a hard look at our finances and realized it was a sizeable spend we could cut.
Maybe we'll be back in a future season, we'll see.
Go Sounders.
