MLS CUP DC Supporters Section Ticket Ordering Info FOR ALL (Hotel Info Also Included)

gocaps · Nov 7, 2004

Through our ticket rep in LA (who is actually a DC fan, believe it or not), we have an entire section behind one goal at the Home Depot Center to ourselves. 200 seats - and there are more tix available if need be.

The price is $25 per ticket FOR ALL FANS. SEs, BB, LN, whoever. $25, that's your price. The tickets will be in your name at the Will Call window at the Home Depot Center.

For some reason, there's some Galaxians out there selling $35 seats in a corner section (the opposite corner from our goal) for Eastern Conference traveling fans. For obvious reasons, that section is not where you want to be. The seats aren't as good, they're more expensive, and at least 50 DC fans have already gotten their tix behind the goal!

Send e-mail to roadtrips@screaming-eagles.com to order.

PLEASE try to get your order in by Thursday night.

We're sold out of air packages to LA for the weekend, but we still have plenty of room available at our hotel for ground packages, which include 3 nights hotel stay (double occupancy on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights) and a match ticket.

If you are interested in fewer nights than three, that can definitely be arranged, and you'll save $25-50 on the price. Send e-mail to roadtrips@screaming-eagles.com and I'll quote you a price.

Ground Packages (3 nights hotel stay, match ticket):
$225 for members
$250 for non-members

HOTEL INFORMATION:
Best Western Sunrise at Redondo Beach Marina
400 North Harbor Drive
Redondo Beach, CA 90277
http://book.bestwestern.com/bestwestern/propertyMain.do?group=false&propertyCode=05413&disablenav=

GROUND TRANSPORTATION
Getting around out there is up to you, we can help pair up people to share cars if needed.

TO MAKE A RESERVATION
Send an email to roadtrips@screaming-eagles.com OR call (202) 544-6744 and leave a message in the roadtrips mailbox.

PAYMENT
You can pay via paypal, send payment to payments@screaming-eagles.com.

I expect to see all of you out there. Old-timers like me have been waiting 5 years for this, and you new-schoolers have never seen United in a final. So get your tickets NOW!

... Mod's Note ...

I'm going to sticky this for a few days. I expect there'll be a lot of traffic on the board and I don't think this thread should get bumped to the bottom of the page. I know folks will be looking for it.

Please re-light the lightbulb periodically. People often ignore stuck threads. It's counter-intuitive but true.

Also, if you're just looking for general travel information and/or information about DC United get-togethers and happenings in LA then please see The MLS Cup Travel Information Thread - otherwise known as the "The I'm Going To LA Thread."

Just wanted to clarify that neither I nor any member of the Galaxians is selling the tickets, that is the section that MLS and the Galaxy decided to set aside for the East Coast team's supporters. This was done as a courtesy to make sure there were tickets available for which ever team made it to MLS Cup.

I agree with you about where fans should buy their tickets, if I were a DC fan I'd buy my tickets where other DC fans will be.

Thanks galaxycrazy. That was a bit odd to see after we'd already set up a section through the Galaxy's ticket office. Methinks the right hand of MLS/Galaxy FO isn't talking very well to the left.

and ignore the crap from the Rapids fan.

Two words: toilet paper.

One more word if Meola is back to fitness: donuts.

Orders have been pouring in, guys. I promise to get back to everyone individually via e-mail ASAP, but understand that I'm having some computer problems at home (damn hidden spyware apps), so I'll respond on my powerful gub'ment computer during work hours.

You get to sit right behind the goal? Too bad you don't extend the same courtesy to opposing fans who come to see their team play at RFK.

There are only seats behind one goal at RFK and those seats are reserved for La Norte, but you already knew that, didn't you?

Exactly. Maybe if you Metrofans filled your seats instead of whining about your team, we wouldn't be able to sit where we do at Giants Stadium.

And, for the record, 4Winds is probably a newbie. Outside of one match in 1999, it wasn't until last year that we started being able to get seats behind the goal at Giants Stadium.

Bring few hundred people and I'm sure they'll acomodate you like Meadowlands/HDC are doing. Money talks, BS walks and I don't mean big soccer.

Thanks for bump tho

It's also helped by the factors that this is not a match where season ticket holders (i.e. La Norte) have reserved seating, and there is no true home team that is doing the seating.

If traveling fans want a better section in a condensed stadium such as RFK, maybe they should plan their road trips further in advance.

We had 'em in the second match in '98, too, although that was a weeknight with just 14K in the house. That was my first SE roadtrip. Heck, we even had the tarp around and behind us blocking off the surrounding sections. I guess if we hadn't been there, it'd have been all tarp on that end.

I just discovered through the magic of Yahoo Maps that our hotel is within walking distance of two very lucky liquor stores

All I have to say is:

Why would you want a closer view of watching your team getting crushed again?

See, some stadiums, like RFK, and unlike the Swamp, have fans who show up all the time. They get to choose their seats. That doesn't leave room for the once-a-year types like you. Shame, but there it is.

Second, special events like MLS Cup can sell every seat in the stadium, since there are no season ticket holder seats to hold back. You'd know that if you'd ever been to such an event.

gocaps · Nov 9, 2004

OK, folks, I'm going to Chicago on business this morning (Tuesday). I'll be back in DC around 7:30 tonight, so don't be alarmed if you don't see any response e-mails today. I'll try and get through all of them tonight.

unless the laws have changed since i lived there, you can buy booze in a grocery store or 7-11, one need not look for a pure "liquor" store.

Rob is right.

Besides, why waste your time looking for a liquor store when you can go look for the hotel where the Wizards are staying?

Ah, a civilized society. Gotta love the blue states

I only remember the liquor stores last year in Long Beach. But there was one every 3 blocks, closer as the neighborhood got seedier....... of course I didn't go into any of the grocery stores, there was a strike.
