We've come to realize that while the three groups have sold a lot of seats directly to members there are TFC fans who have purchased tickets in these sections and are planning to make their own arrangement. Knowing that Montreal Impact FO will not contact you about this we wanted to share with all TFC supporters the "rules" and timelines passed on by Montreal.
This is a big game and a lot of precautions are being taken; it's best to be with fellow supporters regardless of your group affiliation so definetly try to make the times and march with us.
The short end of the stick is the following
10:30AM - members check the members only travel section for details on pre-game arrangements.
11:00am - Meet security and Police at VIAU Metro Station. Walk in to the stadium as a Group. Police and security will have GATE A secure for TFC supporters.
Even if you are late arriving to the game, head to Gate A on the east side of the stadium.
12:00pm - Kick off
Approx 2pm - Game over Final Whistle. Wait in seats for stadium to clear out a bit
Approx 2:25pm (25 to 30 mins after final whistle) - Police and Security will escort us out of our section to Station Viau.
