Travel/Tickets: USA versus Spain, Foxborough, 6/4/2011

Tickets to the game and beer festival...bought. Just waiting for the AO Boston bus to Gilette.

We'll be wearing our AO scarves and free beer movement shirts at the beer festival...Join us...Lets travel in a massive, pro USA pack. We'll go straight from the festival to the night-before party.

 

For those of you from the area, I'm going to the game with my family.
Looking for a hotel near the stadium.
I found the Renaissance Boston Patriot Place Hotel and am wondering
is this is a good place to stay.

From the map it looks like its close to the hotel which is what I want, but is it to close?

Is this a good or nice hotel? Don't want to stay in a bad hotel either, not with my family.

Thanks

 

Thanks so much for the quick reply!

I hear you, if I was going with a group of guys, I would most definitely stay in Boston where most of you guys are staying. I was there with you guys in Sandy Utah so I know what fun is.

Like I said though, I'm bringing my family (4 & 5 yr olds) so the closer the hotel the better it is for me.

Thanks again for your help.

 

This game seems too good to pass up ( even with the Gold Cup final out here a few weeks later ), so it looks like we may have a group out for this one.

The brew festival just adds to it.

 

Is it worth joining the USSF supporters club for the purpose of buying tickets at this point? I just want good seats, though I wonder if many are left. I would want to be near the Spain supporters section, but my top priority is being close to the pitch.

If I wait until the general sale on a couple days will anything be left?

 

If you want to be near the Spain Supporters Section (is this even going to exist at Gillette?) then the USSF supporters club probably isn't for you.

 

I don't see why not, there always seems to be a large opposition section, no matter what country it is or where they're playing in the US.

Thanks, that saves me $55 (which sort of makes up for the criminal $40 parking!).

 

40 bucks? Yikes? I rather get gang raped by a gaggle of silverback gorillas.

 

Thanks for everything, AO Boston. Can't wait to hear about the buses

 

Sweet! I'm glad that the buses are there.

I also heard that AO is still working on getting hotel deals in Boston. Are these most likely going to be close by to the Banshee, so that transportation is easier? Just curious, since I know nothing's set in stone yet.

 

Man thats like unheard of. There has to be a way that Pats fans get around it. It's only 25 bucks at the Meadowlands for the Jets and Giants.

 

How Do You Buy a Group Block of Tickets for US-Spain?

The owner of our local soccer bar has decided to put together a bus trip for the US-Spain match. However, he said he tried calling the Revs and US Soccer and they both referred him to TicketMaster.

Does anyone know how he'd go about ordering a block of about 25 tickets for the match? Who should he call?

Thanks.

 

Is AO Providence running this only for their chapter members? Providence is on the way for me so I might be able to either get off 95 there or even just take the train from Trenton to Providence. I'll stay tuned for updates.

 

Re: How Do You Buy a Group Block of Tickets for US-Spain?

To buy group tickets from ussoccer, you need a minimum of 30 people:

Check the bottom

 

yup, planes trains and automobiles.

Our bus will pick you up in New Haven or Hartford, and my only criteria is that you support US Soccer

I know we have a couple Minneapolis outlaws landing in Hartford and joining our bus in Hartford

 

Sorry if this has been addressed but what section is AO located?
I'm in 126 and I'm wondering if I'll be next to you guys.

Thanks

 

Re: How Do You Buy a Group Block of Tickets for US-Spain?

I'd buy from the American Outlaws. Unless you don't want supporters seats.

 

2 questions here... theres gonna be 3 of us coming from Philly area, any chapters running bus trips that would make sense for us to hop in on? Or just drive ourselves? Also where are people staying the night before if heading there early?

Thanks!
