    i'm doing something similar, leaving on the 7th, sorry man. So i'll be seeking out an internet cafe in central america to get my tix. The max is 5, and i have 4 in my group. I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of tix available even if you log in a few days after they go onsale, or even day of the game. My 2 cents.

    If this is true, ouch!!

    At this late date, I would hope US Soccer could help us out. Unlike the past two cycles where they sold tickets to the match in Guate, the Federation(s) have forced travelling fans to depend on friends, family, contacts and inevitably scalpers for match tickets.

    What a disappointment.

    HOLY $HIT!!! was reading the todoticket FB page and they are stating that they will NOT be selling these tickets :(

    This is their answer to those asking for game tickets on their FB page:

    "
    Los tickets para este evento no se venderán a través de todoticket"

    "Tickets for this even will not be sold thru todoticket"

    Locally, yes

    Shell Select 24-hr stores in Guate City and some bank agency in La Torre supermarkets...

    Maybe I'm being narcissistic, but I get the feeling the Guatemalan fed doesn't want us in the stadium.

    It's weird because todoticket says "please stay tuned for more updates". Maybe last minute negotiations?? We'll see, this game won't sell out (in my opinion) because the prices are pretty expensive for Guate standards. Let's keep each other in the loop, more info will come out in the next few days i'm sure. Won't affect my travel plans, i'll still be buying a ticket from someone, somewhere. Stay positive my brothers.

    The courier/transportation company UBIKT Guatemala said they could buy Tribuna seats tomorrow at the points of sale for whoever needed them. I am getting my ticket through a distant relative of a friend but spoke earlier with the UBIKT contact given to me by the Hotel Barcelo. I have no idea how much of a mark-up there will be for their service or how payments would work, but if our fed is in fact out of the picture, this could be one of few remaining options without resorting to game-day scalping. As with the transportation, they would require an exact number of tickets in order to provide a quote.

    If anyone needs tickets for the USA v. Guate in Guatemala City, my friend Crasy Omar from Atlanta can get five extra tickets from a family member who lives in Guatemala. The price is $75. The first five people who contact him will be able to get the tickets. His phone number is 770-256-3873. Just tell him that AJ from Tampa gave you his phone number.

    *** TRANSPORTATION UPDATE *** (after the game!)

    Even though I was very much looking fwd to a gauntlet run after the game, I've managed to score a mini bus that will 100% no crap wait for us outside the stadium (drive up to the stadium to pick us up if street isn't blocked) for $15 a pop AS LONG AS WE HAVE AT LEAST 20 PASSANGERS!!!

    Rules:

    - Bus will only make ONE stop (Hotel Intercontinental), no hotel-to-hotel drop offs.
    -No drinking in the bus (I know... SUCKS! but I'm sure we can manage not drinking for the 10-15 min ride right?)
    - No smoking
    - US supporter's ONLY

    If you ask me, the $15 is a steal knowing that we'll have a ride awaiting for us after the game and will take us to Zona Viva to eat/drink or catch a taxi to you hotel in a safer zone that Mateo. Well worth it for our peace of mind wouldn't you say?

    I know I have 4 already... who else is in!? I know we can get 20 easy!!!

    I am in for the bus, with two people, also under the assumption that I will also get two tickets, in the Tribuna section!

    This is the plan. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. I am in Houston and my flight to GUA is about to take off. I will be traveling to Tikal and staying with friends and family. I will see you guys at the game. I have a big USA flag, red streamers, and some USA beach balls.
