Looking forward to this being a complete sellout.

 

No way they sell out candlestick. Lower bowl is my guess.

 

I hope to see it sellout, or at least get 50K, they are talking about a sellout in Jacksonville. We all know the game at RBA will be packed with only 25K seats to sell. This is the Sendoff series.

I am thinking about buying some tickets for this. I've never been to a USMNT game before. What are the chances that this sells out? How quickly should I expect that to happen, if at all? Just wondering how urgent I need to be about getting tickets.

 

Since it is Azerbaijan, I think you will be okay to get tickets. It might take some time to sell out. If this was a WC Qualifier, tickets would be moving hot and fast.

 

Just bought my ticket. Lower box, middle of the field, first row. Visa presale. Pricey, but I look at it as my contribution to the Men's team. See you all there!

 

That is awesome. Totally worth the arm and leg pricing because you are contributing to the US Soccer cause.

 

Just got my tix as well, $58 X 2. Lower east stands, kinda looks nearer to the goalside. This my first Candlestick experience but I'm fully prepared, thanks to all the horror stories I've heard.

 

I would not be surprised at all to see at least 50k attend, it is the Sendoff series for the World Cup, US has not played in the Bay Area for a while and it could really end up being the final major sporting event at Candlestick.

 

Anyone know if AO tickets are still available for this match and if so, what sections are they going to be in?

I have some family from the Bay Area that wants to go but can't stand for the whole match (one of them had recent knee surgery) but they still wanted to sit near me so I thought I would ask about the specific sections.

Crap - I missed the deadline for AO tickets. I thought it was today.
Does anyone know if there would be a problem sitting with AO's if I got a ticket near them but not specifically in their section?

 

That should not be a problem, slipping into AO sections has never been an issue in the past.

 

We will be in sections 36, 38, 40 and 42 in Candlestick Park vs. Azerbaijan. Sorry the AO section is sold out!

If anyone has two extra AO tickets for sell, message me.

 

So has anyone in here done public transportation from San Jose to Candlestick before? It looks like parking is $25-30. Looking at Caltrain I'm seeing that for 2 round trip tickets it probably wouldn't save much money going that route.

 

Public transportation to Candlestick is terrible. I don't even know if the main options that existed for 49ers games (special MUNI express buses from various locations in the City) are going to be in place for this game.

 

Yeah that's what I'm gathering from googling. I'm thinking that walking a mile (from the Bay Shore station) through a not so great neighborhood at night and paying almost as much for a train ticket as to park just might be the deal breakers. Kind of strange that for such a hippy-dippy city/region our public transportation between cities ain't nothing to write home about.

 

The walk from the Stick to the Caltrain station is totally safe, no worries there. It is possible to find free street parking on the roads near Gilman if you arrive early and if the attendance is as bad as anticipated. No easy solutions, however, between freeway traffic/parking cost/congested exiting or slow Caltrain trip with not quite short walk.
