Travel/Tickets: USA versus Guatemala in Guatemala City 6/12/2012

i would think the best way is to meet up at a hotel or a bar in zona rosa and then all get a minivan together. there will be plenty of festivities in and around the stadium before hand

 

No such thing, Zona Rosa is in Mexico City. Zona Viva is in Guatemala City.

But yeah I'd recommend forming a good group, the more the safer, and yes good idea to meet either at a bar, hotel, restaurant or shopping center.

Get to the stadium early to make sure you get to your seat on time for game time.

 

sorry, thats what i get for posting early in the morning....

 

I already have a hotel booked in the city for that night, but I'd consider canceling and changing the reservation if we all want to book the same hotel.

 

ill be staying at the Westin Camino Real

 

There are a bunch of us, maybe 6-8 people, staying at the Barcelo Guatemala City.

That's about 2-3km from the cluster of hotels in Zone 10.

 

last time i went the US fans had their own section protected by police and fences.

 

Probably should find out their hotel and make that the planned meeting place, if that's where we have to pick up tickets anyway.

 

hey Corona, sup bro, this is lguti9 from Guatemalan thread. I got some info. regarding game between USA n Guate, i just heard on the Guatemalan Fed. that tickets will not be sold at the Stadium no more, they will only be sold prior to the match, like at the Guatemalan Ticket store, i guess they do it so no fake tickets be sold.

 

According to the e-mail below from the Guate fed, they haven't yet determined ticketing procedures for the game. They expect to have confirmation shortly though and to also have tickets available for purchase online, including those in the away supporters’ section.

Im in corpus christi, tx i am really wanting to go to this game. Can anybody help me out with doing this. rather meet up with other yanks since its my first one out of the coutry.

 

What exactly do you need help with?

 

meeting up with others, find a hotel with other americans, etc...

 

Well any of the big hotels in Zona 10 are going to have probably the majority of the fans who do travel to the game, plus a whole host of foreigners. Barcelo, Westin, Radisson, Clarion, Intercontinental.

 

Pretty excited as we have just over a month for the match but a bit worried that we haven't heard anything regarding supporter's tickets. Hopefully we will soon.

No new info on US soccer nor the Guate Fed website about tickets

Trying to set up something for Monday night with some local friendly friends (dinner/drinks), I'll post more info in case anybody would like to meet up. GO USA!!!

Latest rollcall:

Call:
TimBoston +6/8 (From Boston) - Barcelo Guate City (about a 15 min walk to Zona Viva)
thethinwhiteduke (New York) - Westin Camino Real in Zona Viva
GOREVS3000 +1(Boston)
Real Corona +1 (Montreal)
Doogiemo +1 (From Chicago but flying out of Denver!) - Intercontinental in Zona Viva

 

If we are counting number Real Corona is most certainly a +2.

 

Awesome! did you figure out your hotel in Guate city?

 

si

 

Latest rollcall:

ok...******** it, i'm in. Wixson (+2)

flying into honduras on the 8th to watch their qualifier vs panama (will miss the Antigua thrashing, oh well). then make our way to guate for the 12th. a nice little trip. probably stay in zona viva the night of the game. bring it on bitches.....
