The boys from Prestige Worldwide would be proud. Real Salt Lake’s MLS win is great for the fans, sure — it’s a moment of ecstasy in a young franchise’s ongoing development. But the real kicker comes from the increased fan interest that RSL Soapbox sees as inevitable now that Real are the champs:
First up is the boost of season ticket sales that should come from this win could be over 2,000 if fans react the way I imagine they will. Second up is that no more SuperLiga for RSL we have earned the right to play in the 2010 CONCACF Champions League. Third, no play in matches for the US Open Cup instead we automatically make it into the tournament.
For RSL season ticket holders this will be a huge impact as now the 5 non MLS match tickets that are part of your season ticket package will be matches that matter, still against teams from around the US, Mexico and the rest of CONCACAF, but they will all matter. I think the prestige of being a RSL season ticket holder will now be something others envy as they jump on the bandwagon (the more the merrier).

That is how we won
We kept on dreaming, believing and when everyone doubted we proved them wrong. In speaking with just one sales rep last night at the RSL celebration, he had sold over $7,000 in season tickets just yesterday. Salt Lake is a community that will embrace a winning team.
