I expect that the ticket details will come at the same time as the guest team and Groups are anounced. My bet is that it will be after the Carribean and Central American teams are settled at the end of this month and before the last home WCQ before June at Birmingham on March 30, so they can remind people over the PA.
I'm sure that the second guest team will be from South America (apart from fan interest, they have an unofficial reciprocal agreement regarding the Copa America), and will probably be placed in Miami. Columbia and Venezuela would be as much of a draw there as Brazil, maybe better. The big problem with Brazil is that they will just have played at the Confederations Cup in Germany, and that with the end of WC qualifying surronding it is a wee bit much, even if they send a B team.

Your right, unfortunatly i dont see Brasil being in it, my guess that with bringing in South Africa their trying to bring in new teams, and with Venezuela improving i can see them being invited this year.

I will be going to any of the Canadian games on the East Coast. Miami is probably the farthest I will travel.

According to the schedule just released, Canada has two group games in Seattle (vs. Costa Rica & the US) and then one in Foxboro (against Cuba).
I will hopefully be able to go to the latter.

I'll be bringing my wife and daughter to Seattle. I've invited my friend and his daughter to join us. That makes five more US supporters in the crowd.
Talk to me about Seattle parties, hot spots and US supporter get togethers!!

I HATE the fact that non-CONCACAF teams participate in the Gold Cup.

Agreed. It cheapens the importance of this REGIONAL tournament. I also hate the fact that this tournament is now held every year. It's stupid to have the Gold Cup during the WCQ! The Gold Cup should be every 4 years, like the Euros are.
With that said, as long as the USMNT makes the semi-final and final at GS, I'll be there.

It's already known. The group for Miami is Colombia, Honduras, Panama, and Trinidad.

Not optimal, but I've got friends in Miami and my dad might be down for a visit.
