OK, interesting. 

I'll ask about it... but I imagine they are scrambling just to get shit off the ground at all at this point.

Can we convince the Forge FO to print us hard tickets so we have a keepsake from this historical match? I believe the York 9 are getting them to hand out to everyone on their buses. Just an idea. Can't wait for the big day.

Our section isn't even programmed into their ticketing system...

I'm sitting in the away section or I'd be there

Are you kidding?  You have an away section to be in, that is 100 times more important.  

What a good problem to have!

Ok all you fence sitters... we are down to less than 50 tickets.

This isn't a Canada game, I can't set your lazy arse up with a ticket the day before the game.

And to all those that got free tickets from Forge, stay out of our section. Please honor your deep commitment to the game and sit with the U8 Timbits team you got your free ticket with. Don't screw up our section by overcrowding it.

So I assume since the tickets still seem available in the side bar, and this thread hasn't been updated to say it's sold out, there must still be some tickets. Looks like I'll be buying 3 tonight. Getting pumped!

I was stressing to have people buy them ASAP because this is not a Canada game.  

They might cut off our ticket sales tomorrow. 

So people really should get them soon, and convince others to get off the fence and quit whining about seeing Portland for the 70th time if that is their issue....

Forge supporters and the Voyageurs will be in 112 and 111 on the East side of the stadium, 108 and 109 are on the West side, no sunglasses required!

But just to be clear, we took the high ground to throw things at you.

Brunch pre-game anyone?  I'm not a fan of this 1 p.m. KO but w/e.

It's a really annoying time.

There is something arranged, I'm just not sure of the details.  Something in stadium for the supporters.

I'll focus on all this stuff after the FG game.

Grabbed a couple. We're flying in for the day, and thrilled to be with the Voyageurs!

Awesome!

I'll have the party details included with the tickets when it is all finalized.

Hello, 

I jsut bought 3 tickets. I will try to take my friday off so I can drive from Montréal and arrive on friday night if there are any events.

Where is the better place to stay? 
I thought about spending the night at Oakvill since it is cheaper, any suggestion?

Please let me know if there is any event planned on Friday night so I can take my day off.

Of course, if there an pre game event (breakfast or wathever else) and after game, please let me know

See you there!

Great!

I'll have all the details on that posted here, and included when I email the tickets.

Glad you are joining us!

In Hamilton we consider that a sweet ride.

Should we expect our tickets at least a week in advance of game? Reason I'm asking is because we'll be travelling 4 days prior to the game and would like to have tickets beforehand. Thank-u thank-u very much.

Shouldn't be a problem.

However, when in Rome.... since it is Hamilton I was thinking we should really just hand out the tickets in an alley from a crusty old van. 

I have this one lined up.

Driving down Friday afternoon and heading home Sunday. Thanks Jamie and all the Hamilton guys for organizing this!

Awesome, glad you are making the game!

Just wondering if seats will be assigned cause some (all) in my group would like to be seated during the game. Thank u thank u very much.

Let's see how it proceeds. If we sell out all 175, which I think we will, I can gauge by who they are what the section will be like. 

It could be tea in biscuits, but so far that is not looking likely. 

EDIT: What I mean is it looks like a factory of insanity, I'll see if we find a place for them. This  isn't a Canada game though... but they seem very accommodating.

Just picked up 6. Do you have more details on what section etc? Flying in the night before. Tres excite.

Awesome!  See you soon.

There should be an event the Saturday night, but I don't have any details on it yet.  If nothing formal comes toghether... well we'll do something.

Thought it was 113. Regardless two tickets have been purchased, my buddy Derek and I will be in attendance for this historic match. 

113 got poached from us.  I want to sell enough tickets to make it clear that was a fcking mistake.

Is that confirmed, that's it's general admission? Bunch of us bought tickets separately, just want to make sure we can watch the game together.

I don't think this will be like Mexico, where even a small % out of 55K people crashing the section is going go cause a disaster.

The ticketing got offloaded on me, and I am doing the safest fastest easiest way to distribute the tickets which is linearly.  I know that probably doesn't make any sense... What I mean is I am not going to try and jig saw puzzle seating in manually, with a spreadsheet like I normally do.

We have 175 in our initial block, we have space to spill over as well.  But likely will keep it in that self contained block were, GA would be fine as it is unlikely any other tickets will be sold in that part of the section.

With all that said, I am almost certainly not allowed to utter such words as general admi.....

Tickets will get emailed out closer to the game. 

I wonder if we can get physical tickets for keepsakes....

If I buy tickets to help secure the section can you give them away?  No way I can make the game.

Thanks, but really no need to jump on any swords. I think we are going to be good. 

We have already sold a bunch. 

Holy crap this is looking good people.

I'll just re post this meme right here....

We are not dealing with Canada Soccer here, they are very flexible and hold our space and let me buy tickets often right till game day. 

If this turns into the marquee event it should be, we need to be able to hold our ground with ticket sales.

There is a 'free' promotion on, but it does not apply to group sales or in the lower bowl where we are. 

Please skip the free option and buy tickets from us asap to help secure this section.

You can get them on the front page, or here in the sidebar (scroll down on mobile)

Thanks

Jamie
