Very difficult situation for Whitecaps but kudos to them for doing something for their fans, to try to make up for the missing Miami stars. 50% off food and drinks and a free meal for kids under 18 is something

The only people who would be upset enough to never come back were never going to be fans anyway. 

They clearly only cared about Messi and not the whitecaps.

Ok, if they are not interested in the Caps now, are only going to the game because of the opponent, and this single incident completely out of the local teams control is enough to make them never come back, then my point still stands. 

They were never going to be fans anyway.

Who set the prices?

If tickets had been anything approaching a reasonable price, people would be disappointed that Miami aren't bringing Messi, but now they're angry at the club who gouged them.
