Seattle Sounders FC Season Ticket Holders Get Refund After Blowout Loss To LA Galaxy
SEATTLE - Seattle sports fans are not so happy right now. Even today's Mariners win doesn't make up for the previous eight losses. And, the Sounders, they got stomped this weekend 4 to nothing. It was so bad the team's giving some of you your money back.
Sounders FC fans didn't have a whole lot to cheer about in yesterday's match with the LA Galaxy, 4 zip the team's worst loss ever at Qwest Field. It wasn't pretty to watch for fan Debi Davio.
"It was a little tough to watch but, I support our team, love our team," said Davio.
It's that kind of die-hard spirit that got the team to give their fans a little something for their effort a refund. Season ticket holder Wes Wood was thrilled to hear the good news.
"I think that's a great idea. I'm definitely a Sounders fan, and if I've got more money for next year just keep going to the games," said Wood.
The Sounders decided since the fans showed up loud and proud and the team didn't, over 32,000 season ticket holders will get their money back as a credit, one free game next year. But, if you bought a single game ticket sorry you're out of luck.
Just down the street from Qwest Field Mariner fans are singing the blues about their losing ways too. At least Andrew Stewart is keeping his sense of humor.
"The other day I left 2 Mariner tickets on my dashboard and my car got broken into and there was 4 tickets there so," said Stewart.
So far this season Mariner fans have watched some pretty brutal losses at Safeco Field and Stewart says the team should give him a refund, just like the Sounders did for their season ticket holders.
"We should get some free games, they've got 81 games at least some free tickets bring some family and some friends to a game," said Stewart.
We called representatives for the Mariners they didn't call back. So, there is no word yet if they'll consider the idea. But, for Sounders fans like Wes Wood that bleed green and blue it's not the refund he wants just wins from here on out.
"I think this season we're not getting out of the slump we're in, it's kind of sad," said Wood.
The team says they don't plan on giving fans their money back every time they have a bad game, but, they felt after the brutal Galaxy loss it was the right thing to do.
