Cool! Would tickets be sold by PAWSARF or on secondary market? Keep us posted BYers.

PAWSARF has handled the ticket sales in the past.

Anyone planning on standing in the AO section? Did that for the Landon send-off game, good times.

Would love to. Was in that crowd for the Gold Cup at the Rent in 2013. Awesome atmosphere.

I'm hoping for a pre-sale email.

 

[Waquoit]

Presale for this game is Thursday at 10:00am. PM me if you would like the code.

I was thinking of taking my "football" crazy son while we're home in the US this summer, but I looked at the ticket prices on the internet and they are over $100 a pop. Too much for a 7 year old who may or may not pay attention to the whole game. I'll take him here in Serbia for $5. Just have to figure out a match without hooligans.

Pre-sale started today for Outlaws.

Is the AO section opposite of the video board?

I think they were at that end during LD's last game.
Edit: video show, yes AO sit in student sections

Love soccer at the rent. Usually I just get cheapest ticket possible and red line it and deal with the yellows the whole time.

We Went There: Landon Donovan’s USMNT Curtain Call

Love the quote in grantland article
"I can't remember that last time I saw this many people in the place"

36,265

Another great clip of the nearly full crowd
Landon Donovan's Final U.S. Game

 

[Waquoit]

The place was packed that game. I didn't see many open seats, even in the corners. I wonder what the attendance would have been if they counted all the employees like UConn does.

Only for the club seats and lower chairbacks.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Endlines going for around $28 with fees so more like #36

They're only budgeting for 18k ???

Parking was horrible for past games due to not enough parking attendants/LAZ/not enough staff.

I think way more than 18k will show up at a 4:45 sat match

 

[ScottBonz]

Yeah,

The parking at the LD send off game was beyond atrocious. There was no signnage or anyone directing traffic. People missed a lot of the game.

FWIW, I sent an note to the PAWS rep I exchanged emails with after that debacle. He assured me that the 18K number was just for planning purposes and that "We receive daily ticket reports, so we’re aware of how many tickets are distributed and we plan our operation around that number."

Fair enough, I just hope they allow for a decent walk-up. Especially, if it's a nice day.

Gold Cup/PAWSARF roster

 

[Waquoit]

I'm hoping to see Zardes and Morris to play the whole game as well as my man Joe Corona!

 

[SAMCRO]

If this is the 23 we are going in to group play with, then let's go young(er) at GK too and start Hamid. Will be curious to see what, if any, roster changes happen when the knockout rounds begin... or even before the group play begins. Would have liked to have seen CCV and EPB on the roster, even if to only come off the bench and get some run (and get CCV capped) but so be it.

The problem with taking CCV and capping him in the Gold Cup is that you take him out of preseason for Spurs, and take away his chance to play with their regulars on the summer tour and, more importantly, take away his chance to move in front of Wimmer in the Spurs fullback rotation. And, in the long run, helping Carter Vickers get more playing time in the Premiership is also important. It's a tough call.

I really liked Palmer-Brown's play in the U-21s, but if he's still behind the fullbacks we took so be it.

is it possible to get tickets walk-up on site? I see online there are still maybe a thousand or so tickets still available

I would think so. Definitely not a sell out.
