Season ticket sales update

Over the weekend thru the 'Iron Lion Firm' facebook page, the Orlando City front office informed us that season ticket sales will be capped at 19,500.  The reason this is so is because if the club opens up the second and third tier sections of the Citrus Bowl, it must guarantee a sell out or face fines from MLS and Florida Citrus Sports.  As OCSC communicates this limitation of tickets to its supporters, I am sure this will speed up sales as people realize there may not be that abundance of tickets despite the fact we play in a 60,000+ capacity stadium.

We were informed this thru the Orlando City front office catfish facebook account which is under the name 'Jennifer Ables'.  Jennifer Ables is a big Mississippi State Bulldogs fan, likes to post selfies of herself wearing low top dresses and is all knowing with respect to matters related to Orlando City.  This catfish account was created by some crafty and sly employee of the club to get more information about various supporters in the aftermath of the well documented incidents that occurred in the 2014 I-4 Darby between OCSC and the Tampa Bay Rowdies in St. Petersburg.  In the days after the arrest of four OCSC supporters (which all charges were dropped), three of which were ILF members, our front office felt compelled to create a phony facebook account and befriend various  supporters to try and get additional information to perhaps get a better idea of what occurred that unfortunate evening.  Catfish Ables was quick to defend the club if any negative comments were made about the club via facebook in the stressful days after the St. Pete incidents.  I found this action by the front office to be more comedic than upsetting.  It is funny how quick most guys are to accept a friend request from a total stranger as long as she is attractive.  Well played front office, well played.

To my dismay however, the front office used this account to correct the assumption from my previous post that there would be an abundance of ticket supply in 2015 to inform us of the ticket limitations for next season.  While I am happy to share this information, I am surprised this account is still active.  Thank you for the comedic fodder and information catfish Ables.  Cheers and go Bulldogs...
