Ok, Mexico is off and Brazil is now officially on. US Soccer says tickets go on sale on Friday. Will there be a U.S. supporters section? We'll have to move fast on this one....
Just spoke with USSF. There will be a US Supporter's Section. It will be handled through Ticketmaster. Details forthcoming. I mentioned the desirability of making this section General Admission (as in having the tickets say general admission) and that is something they are going to look into.
I had a great time in Chicago for the Gold Cup final. Unfortunately I'm not going to have the money for this one.
Are you kidding, sell a kidney or somethin! When are you ever going to have a chance to see Brazil play our national team in our country?
Will it be a sellout? My initial thought was yes but then I remembered that the England match was not, there were around 48,000. I'll be there so I really don't care, I just don't want to see 15,000 people with no ties to Brazil wearing Brazil jerseys since it's "cool".
Supporters section through Ticketmaster? God I hope this works out and only standing supporters get them.

I'm thinking it will be some type of password system. This is such a tight window. I just hope we know about the supporters section before tix going on sale. Otherwise, we'll have to just buyt "normal" tickets or gamble that a supporters section shows up!
Now would be a good time to once again mention that cheap current and historical flags can be purchased at www.sevenbros.com. They ship pretty fast and I have seen nobody have problems with them in the past, with SAers having purchased from them prior to matches dating back to USA/Mexico 05. Let's fill Soldier Field.
Ahh I wish I could get there for this one, but having just been in Chicago for the Gold Cup semi and final, this will not be happening. All of you that will be there, have fun and take pictures !
I hate that MLS schedules matches on FIFA dates. I am taking two MLS-virgins to their first DC United match that same day. Dammit, I could have actually gone to this match!! I hate you Don Garber!!!!
it isn't just MLS... The Mexican league has matches scheduled for that weekend, including the 9th: http://www.femexfut.org.mx/portalv2/(cmvzhz45odrdpn55szflca55)/default.aspx
Hrm so the only option is through ticketmaster? Any expect other possible places to get tickets? I had to cancel my credit cards last week due to my wallet being stolen and I havnt received my new ones yet. Last time I checked I don't believe they accept paypal or something like that.
heck yeah..im getting a bunch of tickets for this match. I've also seen usa/mexico an usa/england. both great matches.
