Can someone put the USA membership link on here so I can sign up? Does it cost money? This whole process is an absolute joke. A lottery? Seriously? It should be first come first serve. That's the right thing to do. You're going to penalize people that sign up first. Stupid
Stubhub will have very limited inventory (they don't allow fans to sell mobile ticket, brokers only) Vivid Seats seems to have speculative inventory. Either way be carefull buying on CL. Best bet is somebody you know or SH or VS or some other reputable internet scalper site.
Vivid will have more inventory because they are a little more lenient on who can sell mobile tickets on their site.
ha..i said the same thing. AO tweet said if you are USSC and AO member that USSC will send lottery invite (not AO), in which they'll ask to pick either USSC or AO lottery. Regardless, i haven't received either USSC or AO 'invite' to the lottery.
Oh yeah I got that email AFTER I had already applied. Oh well I figure I probably have better odds as a supposedly gold member than with the unwashed masses. I clicked I would accept a $500 ticket which is terrifying to me. Haha
Don't fret. You have until Thursday, Sept. 29 at 2 p.m. ET to apply. No first come, first served or hitting a Ticketmaster pre-sale when it goes live like the pre-lottery days.
So TicketBastard can handle selling out an 80000 seat stadium for the Rolling Stones in 20 minutes but is overwhelmed by selling 22,000 seat for a soccer game without a 24 hour rolling lottery process?
im in the same boat but i topped out at the $218 ticket....went with the USSSC lottery rather than Sammers and started with the endline but worked my way up
I want to apply but am worried what will happen if I'm sick or something comes up and I can't go as it looks like there is no way to transfer/sell tickets if you can't use them? Does anyone know any more about this and if it will be possible to transfer tickets later? It's a lot of money to lose if something happens and you can't make it.
We decided to apply for only the least expensive endline tickets. If I can't get my first choice as a "Gold" USSSC member, what good or how fair is it? We aren't willing to pay over $100 for tickets for what is already becoming an overly expensive trip because of the short time frame to buy flights with a lottery notification date of October 13th. If we don't get tickets, oh well? Don't get me started about "mobile tickets only." No offense to Columbus Crew supporters, but I hope this is the last time the USA-Mexico home WCQ is at Columbus Crew Stadium, a place of which I am very fond. This match up should be at a NFL size stadium rather than putting supporters, including hard core ones, through an unnecessary lottery for tickets. This lottery will shut out even Columbus Crew STH's and SG's, so why have the match there if they can't get in while more well heeled traveling people who will fork over $100 up to over $500 for a ticket will attend? Other than the obvious answer, $. Mexico supporters will find a way. They always do. We were some of the few US supporters at last October's Rose Bowl match in a section allocated for presale to USSSC members. I think the area was over 90% Mexico support, which bugged me only because it meant that US supporters with presale access to tickets used the game as a money making proposition through scalping websites. If the demand exists for a lottery process at a properly sized stadium, I would accept it. For a MLS stadium, it's just a money grab at the expense of the people who have supported the sport and the national team when few cared. I believe that this will be the first USMNT match, other than the World Cup Finals, that motivated people with presale access will not get tickets. In the past, if you hit the TM presale (and I believe the AO sale) when it went live, you got the tickets you wanted.
Depends if US soccer "turns on" the transfer option. It will be interesting to see if that option is available. If they are trying to cut out ticket resell, they might not turn it on. If the purpose of Mobile tickets is to stop counterfeits, then they might allow tickets to be transferred.
