Vancouver Whitecaps FC History
The Vancouver Whitecaps may have only joined MLS in 2011 (alongside the Portland Timbers), but the team has a long history in the Pacific Northwest. The Whitecaps first launched in 1974? as a member of the now-defunct North American Soccer League and moved to the Canadian Soccer League in 1986 as the 86ers. The team would remain as the 86ers until 2000 when the Whitecaps name resurfaced as part of the A-League, which would later become the United Soccer League (USL).
Finally, on March 18, 2009, the Whitecaps were introduced as the newest franchise in MLS, where they would keep the Whitecaps name as part of the United States' top division. The club qualified for their first playoff run in 2012, becoming the first Canadian MLS franchise to do so. Meanwhile, the Whitecaps have claimed the Voyageurs Cup at the annual interleague Canadian Championship in 2015, 2022, and 2013 and count 2013 MLS Golden Boot winner Camilo Sanvezzo among their alumni.?

There where few people, we could use the public transport after the event without problem. The event was good and entertaining.
This was my first experience of an MLS football match, though I watch a lot of football in the UK. The whole experience was very good. I have never seen so many food outlets at a stadia.
I attended two games. For the first game I paid $25 per ticket and for the second game I paid $400 per ticket. The second game cost no more than $25 per ticket.
The game announced was totally different of what was in the advertising and despite Messi did not play in the game the discounts of the meals, beer and sodas were not covering the high cost that was paid for each ticket to entrence to this show. A clause in a contract should be put in place for every time a famous player is promoting to play in Vancouver otherwise will keep disappointing all fans, adults and kids that were expecting to see their favorite players in the field. This is so outrageous and don’t makes me feel comfortable to buy or trust in next whitecaps games.
Next time you advertise a game that Messi will play in and he doesn’t show up, just have decency and return the money for the overpriced tickets.
Beautiful stadium, but an overpriced experience. Vancouver, MLS, and TicketMaster should cap the prices for matches so they are reasonable..regardless of the big names expected to play. The attempt to offer 50% off concessions and a free kids meal was impossible to redeem. Lines were incredibly long the entire match. I'd love to come back during a regularly priced match some day, but not anytime soon.
Disappointed. Disappointed. Disappointed. Disappointed.
I attended the Messi-less game vs. Miami FC - the price gouging was obscene, and none of the three stars showed up despite them being on all the Whitecaps FC marketing for months. It's kind of like buying tickets to a Taylor Swift show, only to have another performer sub in at the last minute as the headliner. Needless to say, the experience was in no way equal to the cost that was paid, and it was a disappointing day after months of eager anticipation. It's not a great look for the Whitecaps FC or the MLS, and I won't be supporting either going forward since this is clearly how they choose to treat their fans.
MLS, TheWhiteCaps and TicketMaster charged fans minimum over 10x the in season seat rate to watch the opposition field their B team. No partial refunds were offered. Food discounts led to fans standing in 30 minute long lines missing most of the first half. The make up game free ticket offered is only good if you are a local fan. Otherwise fans who paid to fly to the game, paid $300 /seat, paid hotel 50% mark up room rates are just out a lot of$$$. But no worries we will never be back and thanks to T.Swift Ticket Master and Livevent will be dismantled first in U.S. and then Canada. Good bye greedy monopoly.
