9/3 US vs Mexico US Supporter Info

The Minnesota Brigade will be there in large numbers.

 

Oh....forgot to mention...

We'll also have our cigars with us this time so we don't have to bum them. That was fun after the game last year.

 

I'll be there too repping for So Cal and the LA riot squad

 

This has been somewhat mentioned before, but I'm worried about it nonetheless:

With the raised profile of this rivalry, the potential that this match might mean a whole lot for World Cup qualifying, the fact that the match falls on a holiday weekend, the stadium capacity is somewhat limited than other stadiums, and the fact that back in 2001 in the dead of winter tickets for this very qualifying match up quickly became hard to come by (Ticketmaster sold out), do you think there will be a problem getting tickets through either Sam's Army or the US Soccer Fan pre-sale?

I'm worried because of my experiences getting tickets to this very match back in 2001. I had been shut out via Ticketbastard and, through a ploy of desperation, contacted a friend who had just moved to Columbus and who had also just signed up for season tickets and given the opportunity to purchase tickets even AFTER the pre-sale period expired for Columbus season ticket holders. I hit jackpot when she sweet-talked the guy at CCS into finding and selling her an extra two tickets. Without that I fear I would've been left to watch at home.

 

I think we can be sure that Mexico fans are registered with the USSF as fans and will get tickets through TicketMaster.

 

Culos

 

I suppose the North End will be open to first come first serve standing?....we will not have to stand at our designated seat assignment on the ticket, right?

 

Hotels/motels near Columbus Crew Stadium?

You're right, fid!
New plan:

If by chance I get locked out of tickets, I will attempt to scalp an extra or, if game time is pressing, steal one from a father of three whose middle child is more interested in concession lines than corner kicks.

And if that doesn't land me a ticket, I'll hunt down Bigdog and steal his Prozac and then, if the calming medication doesn't help my nerve endings fire electric pulses the way they should, search for fidlerre and demand his ticket; and on the way out, with ticket in hand and a smile on my face, I will grab his last beer.

 

Or, find an Englishman who's well-versed in getting past turnstiles without a ticket to help you out. One of the guys from DC lost his ticket to the last game there was this diversion thing and, don't you know it, he ended up in the stadium.

 

Ah, yes... Where there's a will... [you know the rest]

I will snort Bigdog's Prozac. I will drink Fid's beer. I will follow the Brit. And I will get my butt into the Mexico match so that we, as a soccer nation, can collectively send the Tri-colores back south of the border with a healthy loss and a slip back into 2nd place.

 

Considering I saw this topic discussed on the Mexico forum on BS, I'm pretty sure I'm not making this up.

 

they should ask a qualifying question like, "how many people can fit in a ford festiva?" If they say more than 4 they can't buy tickets.

 

scanning through I don't think this has been posted yet..

im planning on coming in from NE PA, what area should I try for seats in? is there already a section the US fans will be sitting in?

I went to RFK for the Panama WCQ and was stuck in a group of Panama fans.. it sucked!

 

Shouldn't matter, you'll be able to stand in the US supporter's section regardless of where your tickets are. I think the Sam's Army website will be selling tickets, tho.

 

We need to get Hunt or Anschutz to buy every seat in the house then only sell them on to US fans....

 

What they ought to do is set up some kind of points system where the people who go to more US games get first priority on the tickets. That way if the Mexicans want to be sure of going you at least force them to buy tickets to some other games and put money into the USSF.
