    Was able to get some near the top of of 213, seats 3 & 4. Think any other sections will open? Odd that they have this many tickets available. You would think FCC fans would fill the stadium. Isn't there some MLS mandate that home teams offer a certain number of tickets to away fans?

    Unlikely. Sections 211 and 212 are already on sale to Cincy fans.

    We had heard we'd get about 1000 tickets, and sections 213, 214, and 215 look like they add up to just about 1000.

    Okay, Crew section tickets seem to be sold out.

    If any Crew fans missed out on those and still want to go, I would suggest getting tickets in the very next section over, 212. You can still purchase those via the regular Cincinnati ticket website.

    My advice would be to pick seats in rows that are higher up, and on the Crew side of the section (so higher numbered seats, something more like seat 20 instead of seat 1).

    Just go to Cincy's website and click on tickets>individual/group>individual.
    When you finally get to the Crew game, select section 212 from the list on the right-hand side.

    They don't use ticketmaster, they use something called glitnir.

    Glitnir sounds like a joke pulled off by Icelandic programmers.

    I'll be at the game but in my brother's FCC season seats.

    GODDAMMMIT!!!!!
    NO PRE-NOTICE?!?!?
    The email came into my box from Crew SC at 12:04pm. No time today for me to even check my emails while at work.
    NOTHING FROM NORDECKE? WHY THEN DID I PAY $25 TO JOIN?
    NICE BENEFIT OF BEING A STM—HERE YA GO, BUY IMMEDIATELY OR YOU’RE SOL!

    I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

    I'm sure you're not the only one in that boat, but yes, that does indeed suck. I was surprised too (we were all surprised), and I feel lucky that I was able to get some.

    As mentioned in my post above, you should be able to purchase in section 212 directly from the Cincy website. I would advise giving it a shot while you still can.

    I appreciate your advice as you posted.
    Unfortunately, everything from 209-215 is sold out. 208-“no available tickets”, and no map to see if anything is being held back.

    I’ll keep looking, but I am NOT HAPPY.

    There are still ~30 tickets available in 212, and PLENTY in 211.

    Thanks; but FCC’s Icelandic ticket co. lists 211 and 212 as sold out.
    How did you get to that screen?

    Hmm. Same as Cleazer’s instructions. Not getting that screen at all. I’ll try again.

    Hmmm.
    When I click on either the section number to the right or on the section itself, I get the message “ the section is sold out.”

    I’ll try from my phone.

    That's super odd, because it says in the list at the right that there are 20+ tickets left in 212. I hate to be that guy, but maybe it's your browser? I did all of this in an incognito window, maybe give that a go?

    Stupid password hoops from existing account.
    It says I have ordered 4 tickets.
    Now not letting me view barcode nor emailing me e tickets.
    I blame Dong Arber.

    If it helps: When I bought in 212 a few months ago I didn't get anything emailed to me other than a confirmation.

    Well, it says I have ordered 4 tickets in 212. I requested them to be emailed. They have not been emailed. The charge is listed on on my credit card as pending. I’d sleep better with them printed off and the ink drying, but I guess that will have to do for tonight.
    Thank you, captain cbus. And you too, Cleazer. Kyle Crew owes each of you a beer.
    As for everyone else, sorry you had to read my late night saga.

    I haven't printed mine. I need to find someone with a printer, or go to a library or something.

    In any case, log out, log back in, and check your account to make sure they're there. If so, print away. If not, well, i'm sure we all have our strategy for when things go wrong.

    Either way, sleep well my friend. It's only Wednesday and there's plenty of time to get soccer game tickets.

    I agree totally. I don't think Nordecke got any more advance notice. I suspect this was FCC showing their inexperience.

    Yeah, I was thinking that the timing of this was probably set by FCC, either purposefully or because they're kinda new at this.
