    Hey, I am new to Bigsoccer but definitely not new to MLS, and just wanted to say hi. I just bought two tickets to the opener and I was wondering what other games I should try to make it to and how i should go about buying tickets.

    I am a sophomore at Ball State in Munice, IN and I will have a hard time making it to some of the April games because of school but the summer should be pretty well open. I would like to make one of the buck-a-brat games (probably the Fire in August) and I would like to see DCU. But I am making a big effort to make at least 5 or 6 games this season, so i wonder if the package deal would be good or not.

    Anyway, just any random and general information would be nice (tailgating, parking, etc.), and I am glad I finally found a place to discuss soccer with like minds. Maybe you will see me at the Galaxy game, I will have my Crew scarf and McBride Everton jersey. Thanks!

    If your planning to make 5 or 6 games then a 6 ticket plan would be best. Here's the ticket deals: Six Game Plan Since you are a student at Ball State you can get the student ticket plan which is a pretty good price. There are three different plans with different games, but it really doesn't matter because the Crew have a pretty loose ticket exchange program. So if you want to see a game not on your plan, you can just trade a ticket from another game.

    Zak gave you the tailgate info and all that. That sounds like a good deal as well, if you want to sit with V-Army. For six games I guess it would be $60 from them. I really don't like the view from there, so to me it's worth the extra $30 to sit on the sides, but to each his own. The atmosphere in 137 can't be beat though.

    Not exactly right.

    The 6-game plan DOES NOT include exchange privvies. You'd be "locked in" to 6 games.

    The best thing for you to do (if your looking to come to less than 9 games), is to buy day-of-game tickets for $10 at the v-army tailgate under the trees in the grass lot, south of the stadium. Tailgate starts around 2-3 hours before the game, and wraps up about 15 minutes before game.

    Also, new this year is the v-army raffle. $1 raffle tickets, winner gets a match ticket for section 137.

    Thanks, I will definitely check out the V-Army tailgate on future dates (since i already bought opener tickets) when I head over there... That does sound better than getting caught in a fixed 6 game deal. And if the stadium isn't full, is it possible to just wander over to 137 and stand with them?

    there is always spare space in 137 because everyone stands.

    yeah.

    and come on over to the tailgate, even if you already have tickets.

    if you're planning on coming down to the 3/23rd game it sounds like we'll be starting around 1 PM.

    I think Flyer Fan can help me out here. I am not sure on the girls name but....."She had pretty eyes and teeth....and i would like to pee in her butt."

    along with the bet of if swittler said that about the stranded girls along side the road.
