WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- Several Major League Soccer teams have seen a big sale of the season-tickets since David Beckham announced his move to the Los Angeles Galaxy last week.

    "The announcement of David Beckham's signing to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy this summer has generated more interest in Major League Soccer than any other event in league history," MLS commissioner Don Garber said Tuesday.

    The Galaxy said Monday it had sold 5,000 season tickets since Thursday while the expansion Toronto FC said it sold 2,600 of its 10,000 season tickets since the announcement.

    The full 32-round schedule won't be out until early February, however, only the dates of the home openers of the 13 clubs having been announced.

    MLS teams drew an average crowd of 15,504 last season.
