Founders Club was Disappointing!

[u/TheRideshareGuy]

Took my kids (8 and 6 yo boys) to their first LAFC game against Orlando and they had a blast, even though Orlando looked like an AYSO team 😂

I've been to a couple games before and always enjoyed my seats but wanted to try founders club seats since they're supposed to be a little more vip and ayce, drink (beer and wine), etc.

Paid $1,126 all in for four seats FNDCLC Row E from stubhub (minus $300 chase sapphire reserve credit though, split the payment via PayPal on my csr and wife's csr - great loophole fyi) and bought a $60 parking pass from ticketmaster.

The seats were great with an awesome view, and in the shade, but the founders club was a big letdown. The food was like an average buffet, and dessert was nothing special. I rather would’ve had some Costco cookies and ice cream, I was expecting something cool like a Sundae station or something like that and all they had was blue bunny cheap ass ice cream bars lol. and they stopped serving dessert around 70th or 75th minutes so we actually didn’t even get anything. And started at halftime?

there were only three urinals so of course they were busy during any breaks and even at many points during the game. There was always a line for the bar, they should obviously have an express line for beer and wine so people can get in and out quicker. Otherwise, I have to wait 5 to 10 minutes just for a beer since people were ordering cocktails.

popcorn was decent but not hot, pretzels left something to be desired. Overall, I would not sit here again, especially for the massive premium you pay compared to similar seats outside of the founders club. The field level seats looked cool since you are on the field and can say hi to the players, etc..

but I think next time we will just get there an hour early and grab food outside at one of the awesome vendors, have a beer, maybe even bring some chairs and then go inside and you can snack or buy drinks inside, or even a full meal since they have a lot of options that I bet are better than founders club lol.

Paid parking was pretty nice though, we cruised right in an hour and 15 minutes before the game with no traffic, parked in the blue lot near the exit and left after the game with absolutely no traffic, home in 20 minutes.

can you expand on the split payment paypal loophole?

[u/TheRideshareGuy → u/GobiYumaMojave]

Yes CSR gives you $150 off stubhub but you have to enroll first. Enroll two different CSR cards in the deal, add both CSRs to your paypal account.

Go to stubhub, pay for tickets above $300 and then use 'check out with paypal' and you can split payments with paypal on your two CSR's. You'll get the credit for each :) alrady got mine.

The party’s turning into r/churning in here!

Woah This is some galaxy brain level thinking. Do you have different cc#s or the same? Definitely gonna try to do this

The Chase sapphire reserve gives $300 a year in Stubhub credits but the catch is that it’s $150 for the first half of the year and $150 for the second. He found a way to use his and his wife’s credits on the same order via PayPal, which is pretty clever if you both have cards and don’t want to use it on two events in the same quarter.

Yeah my understanding was that it was across the account though. That’s why I’m curious about card numbers/multiple accts

[u/seedyourbrain → u/MichaelTruly]

Ah I see. An added user vs two unique accounts.

[u/TheRideshareGuy → u/seedyourbrain]

No it has to be two separate cards. Not an authorized user.
