The Impact will get feedback from surveys filled out exclusively by season ticket holders, results will be divulged to members and an annual meeting will be organized with members.
“The team has been founded on the values of loyalty and determination, and we want our supporters to participate regularly and actively in certain club decisions through recommendations,” declared Montreal Impact president Joey Saputo. “Even though it may be impossible to follow all recommendations made by our supporters, we want to continue to be transparent with all of the suggestions. We want this process to be as pleasant as possible while helping us to grow. The message we are trying to convey to our supporters is simple: Become a member, we want to build the club with you!”
Special offer for members
To highlight the team’s 20th anniversary, a season ticket holder who renews their seat before August 20 will be given a 20% (on average) discount on the regular price of season tickets in 2014. All those who purchase season tickets for 2014 before the end of 2013, on October 27, will get a discount of 10% (on average).
