Montreal away day Thursday...who's going?????

[james]

So now we know we are playing Montreal (Wednesday or Thursday?) does anyone have any information how to get tickets for this game? anyone know if there is going to be an away section like tonight??? Who plans to go to our first playoff game ever???

[nfitz]

Presumably the existing contact info for away tickets is unchanged.

And the general sale starts at 7:30 pm today (Saturday) http://www.ticketmaster.ca/impact-de-montreal-series-mls-montreal-quebec-10-29-2015/event/10004F3DA27B494C Tickets range from $28 to $90 plus fees.

[TFC07]

Which section are supporters going to sit?

[james]

I assume you mean Sunday as in 2 minutes? short notice.

[nfitz]

Which section are supporters going to sit?It's always 112.

No, really ... no joke. Top of 112 is away supporters section at Saputo.

what do you mean by away tickets is unchanged?? I see general tickets are on sale in 1 minute, is that away fans to?

[Narster]

It looks like top block of seats in section 112 arnt for sale or they all sold out in 7 minutes, the Impact probably didn't put them up for sale.

[nfitz]

what do you mean by away tickets is unchanged?? I see general tickets are on sale in 1 minute, is that away fans to?It will be the same contact information/phone number to buy away tickets as it's been the whole time. Wouldn't be surprised if they don't answer the phone until tomorrow though.

I'm sure there'll be availability though.

Game is Thursday 7 pm BTW - official.

and as far as buying ticket before...every time I went to Montreal or Columbus I purchased tickets off red patch boys ticket sales. So i don't know how Montreal normally does ticket sales. You think I could call Montreal and buy away tickets? sorry for all the questions.

[nfitz]

You think I could call Montreal and buy away tickets? sorry for all the questions.That's how it works. The phone number is unchanged from the one everyone has been using for weeks.

[james]

That's how it works. The phone number is unchanged from the one everyone has been using for weeks.

do you know what the contact number is for Away TFC fans? or where I can find it? Thank you.

[Justin10000]

Yay. We phone tomorrow and buy tickets. Whatever it takes!

Whats the number?

[james]

Short notice for us all. But love to see if we can get travelling numbers like we did tonight (not huge but still a good crowd)...looked great fun, loud atmosphere, unfortunately could not here the TFC fans, but sure saw the smoke!!!

[TFC07]

Okay, I can't get seats in 112 section through ticketmaster, but I could get seats in Montreal supporters section though. lol

[flatpicker]

Can't we just convince all the folks in Montreal to just stay there and take a few days off from work?

[Ivy]

How's everybody getting there?

[Red4ever]

Might have a couple seats in my car. Hears rumours of a same day bus.

[Lennon]

Hoping for a same day bus myself. Might opt for the comfort of via rail.

Hey how much would it cost to rent a small plane ? :D

[Justin10000]

Going with a friend.

[Ivy]

Is the club organizing this? I am debating going but might not be able to take too much time off work.

Not if there are sanctions on away support.

[Discostu81]

Just got my shift covered for Thursday, you'll have to survive without me for the night Real Sports.

Megabus would be the cheapest option one would assume? I've never done an away game (with TFC) so this will be most exciting!

[Bristolred]

I'm gutted. If this was Wednesday, I could have stayed in Montreal for it, but I HAVE to be back in Toronto Thursday afternoon for work related reason. Fucks sake. Anyway. I think we have a very good chance to come out of this game. Have fun people who are going. Be loud. Be proud.

[Red4ever]

U sector is putting together a bus.

[Pint]

If someone wants to invent a teleportation device between now and then i would really appreciate it.

Other than that i will be unable to go.

[Justin10000]

112 is available. $40.

[Pint]

if you buy in 112 now you will be in the bottom half, not the away supporters part.

Did you guys get contacted about tickets?

[james]

has anyone got a ticket in 112 where the away section normally is yet?

[Pint]

Did you guys get contacted about tickets?

Ive reached out, i'm expecting tomorrow to be a very busy day for me organizing everything.

Tickets are now available in section 112 on the ticketmaster website for game in Montreal..

Everyone attack in 5.4.3.2....

This is probably best for another thread but would they REALLY do that for TFC's first ever playoff game? Can you imagine the stink it would cause PR wise?

I'm with you. Won't happen. I can see a ban on flags and banners, but not allowing away support at all won't happen.

[MartinUtd]

Well we did rip two seats out :/

[flamehawk]

Who do we call for tickets?

[Red4ever]

Bought two extra in 112. If anyone wants them let me know.

Are these in the upper away section?

[james]

So does anyone get info who we call? have they released any tickets on sale yet for TFC fans in 112?

[Lennon]

Are there any buses leaving Thursday and coming back Friday? Or people driving?

I see some airbnb's for like $30 so I'm leaning towards spending the night there.

Not a bad idea to buy in lower 112. We'll probably sell the back half out so this actually expands our section. :)

.... and as it appears now, it may be our only way in! Sheesh.

[FootieChick]

Hey all, I just spoke with the office and they told me to call back tomorrow and speak with Jeremy at 1pm as they blocked off all the away supporter section for sales purposes (whatever that means) and they will be on sale tomorrow afternoon for the away supporters. If you already have your tickets, you're not considered to be in the "supporters section" and will probably have to move up. Either way, I will phone tomorrow because I'm getting my dad and I tickets and will post some more info.

Thanks for the info Steph! I have tickets for the bottom of 112. Do NOT want to end up next to Impact supporters as I will run my mouth. May just move up.

[Blizzard]

Thanks for the info.

Buy tickets at the back of lower 112. It expands the section and they may not ask you to move.

[Pint]

I would suggest not booking anything unless it is refundable.

[Justin10000]

So people who bought single 112e tickets, I assume theyre ok? A friend bought 3 singles with a toronto address.
Bought yesterday.

[Red4ever]

I would suggest not booking anything unless it is refundable.

They have to refund tickets if they've sold them to you.

As for other things, they will most certainly not be able to keep us out. It's actually fairly stupid security wise to let people be spread around rather than be in one place.

[socceronly]

Yes there is a U-Sector bus, same day for people that absolutely need to be back, but just can't miss this game.

Need people to sign up for it asap.

[MartinUtd]

I wasn't sure if I was going to write all this but in light of the potential ban, I might as well.

What saw in Montreal in addition to some of the things I heard about were pretty embarrassing. When the first smoke bomb went off after the goal I thought it was pretty cool, the atmosphere was rocking and we were heading into half up a goal on our rivals and the whole section was bumping. But as the game wore on some of the self proclaimed hardcore ultras were more interested in making a scene than actually watching the game. I'm not projecting either, I heart it vocalized that more and more smoke bombs were being lit off towards the end of the match because "they wanted to use them up." This is despite the fact that the back half of the TFC section were becoming more and more agitated at their view being fully obstructed for minutes at a time during the run of play while a bunch of overgrown children dressed as Serbian gangsters (faces covered and all) lit off smoke bombs, flairs and even fucking fireworks over the field. Chair were torn out of the stands, some drunk TFC fan spit on an Impact fan and at least one fire was lit.

Maybe I'm just getting older and more boring, but seriously fuck those guys. We're a 9 year old club in Canada. We're not an oppressed group coming together at football matches and forming communities despite oppressive fascist regimes. That's not our history and when some fucking 19 year old tries to emulate it I shake my head. The rest of us are now paying the price because the man child brigade wanted to wave their dicks around. The worst part is, there probably wouldn't be an issue if they hadn't decided to light off the last 4 smoke bombs well after the game was over and security was waiting for the rest of the stadium to exit.

Otherwise, I had fun. I was great meeting some of you at the bar afterwards. Going solo is a funny trip, you certainly get a different perspective than when you're already part of a group.

I personally had a gut feeling something was going to happen, not sure exactly what. As a result I bought a ticket a few rows behind the Reds bench. Had a great time at McLeans beforehand, it was great we packed the place but Yeh the segment who turned to the crap that occurred, Not cool !

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks that way. Although the last thing I want to do is stoke rivalries amongst other TFC fans, I feel that this kind of attitude needs to be called out for what it is, and that's attention seeking.

The Impact FO doesn't even know what's going on. Right now their line is "call back tomorrow" after inquiring where you're calling from. Right now it looks like no SG's are getting allotments but individuals can still buy tickets through other channels like Ticketmaster.

That is bullshit tho if we don't get any supporters section. I know USA and Canadian pro sport teams aren't use to having travelling groups and sections reserved for them, but they really need to start learning how to do it, its a major part of being a soccer fan. I know MLS doesn't even have many games where there are travelling groups, but there are some, and they really should prepare for it ahead of time. And any big Montreal vs Toronto away should have at least 500 seats reserved in Toronto or Montreal. And add in the fact its a playoff game of Toronto vs Montreal...come on.

[MartinUtd]

I agree, but at the same time the league won't want to roll over and implicitly condone activity they deem unfit. What do they do in this situation other than take it out on SG's? Not saying it's justified, but I can see their reasoning. My biggest problem is that now without a designated supporters area, you'll get pockets of TFC fans showing up all over the the stadium in an uncoordinated manner. That could lead to a different set of problems, but assholes hiding in anonymity won't be one of them.

Ya, it's odd. When I called, they said that tickets are handed over to TFC FO and that I should call them.

TFC FO said that they will be calling people tomorrow to let them know what's up...

[MartinUtd]

I think we just have to wait and see what the league says. Anything else is all speculation at this point.

I'm hoping they allow an away support section, otherwise it's ticketmaster or finding a friend with an out of province phone number to buy tickets.

[Ivy]

What I don't understand, and pardon if this is inappropriate, but why is the RPB forum the epicenter for bashing TFC and other supporter groups?
There are guys on here who put many hours, had many discussions, and take a lot of shots in order to better a (sometimes) sour relationship between the groups. It's upsetting when guys come on here (a PUBLIC part of the forum, paid for by members) and sh1t all over another group by calling them names and dragging them through Internet mud without knowing squat about what goes on behind the scenes.

Im in no way defending 114, or USec, or even the guys from RPB that light off smoke and flares (and believe me, we're not Angels), but hiding behind a keyboard and making RPB look like internet nerds is not a way to deal with your personal issues.

fans spread out ruins the loud atmosphere. Supporter groups and people involved in that would hate it and probably not bother attending away games then which is something that creates a love for a team and friendship with supporters that make them love to support there team even more, no matter what. But on the other hand it would cause less likely for Hooligan like issues arising. Being in supporter groups can at away days can hide those lighting up fireworks and fires and shit. Security tho being more aware of Ultras mentality could also stop some problems from the start. A lot of security are probably just more use to fans sitting down and cheering when a team scores and "Lets go team go" chants and maybe the odd drunk guy causing a bit of a scene who might need to get thrown out (while everybody films it and is laughing) , maybe 2 drunk guys get in a fight. Supporter groups can be rather new to security and unaware what is going on and how to handle it before hand.

Fair comment, I'm a "registered user" whose aired my grievances and have no affiliation with supporters groups. I post here because it is in my opinion the best place to converse about the happenings of the team on and off the field. I do understand that there's an ugly side of politics in the TFC supporter sphere which is why I want to re-assert that I'm just one guy whose calling out some bullshit on a message board owned by other people.

I don't hit as many home games as I used to but when I'm there you can find me in 110 row 26. I'm happy to talk about this stuff face to face in a civilized manner. If I'm ill-informed of the issues, please enlighten me.

[Ivy]

Martin, there's really no need for you to attach pictures of yourself. Nobody is going to come looking for you. Also, the things you said aren't at all even comparably close to some of the poisonous crap I've read today.

That being said, I know the guys that run 114, and consider then friends. They're very approachable and will gladly listen to your concerns (as long as you approach them in the same manner that you expect the response to be).

[MartinUtd]

Okay, I thought you were specifically referring to my recent post. I haven't seen what else has been said today.

The dudes in the black shirts did a great job fostering the atmosphere but things seemed to go awry. Maybe it was alcohol, I don't know. But the vibe got kinda hostile even among fellow TFC fans and now as a result of... let's call it "overzealousness" we can't buy tickets to the first playoff game in club history.

Also, it's hard to tell who's with who and representing what. Are the guys covering their faces part of the same group? And if they are, are they covering their faces because they know they're going to fuck shit up, or because of a perceived persecution, or something else? I could go on but won't bother. My original point was that I saw some stupid shit go down and now I might not be able to buy tickets.

[Ivy]

Let's wait for the verdict from MLS.

edit: just went back and noticed that you were the author of that long rant, so my apologies, the point I made above is meant to include you in it.

[Red4ever]

I mean, I see Ivy's point, but I see Martin's as well. The fact is, from my perspective, Inebriatti are not approachable.

They rarely take the blame for anything, they yell at fellow supporters and they make no concessions unless it's for free beer and I have no interest talking to someone that stubborn face to face.

Okay so we're back to square one. I'm sorry but I stand by my "poisonous crap". I'm sure they're not all bad apples but all I'm doing is calling it as I see it. We're not Eastern Europe or 1980's England. Playing that role and causing problems that result in the league revoking our tickets is indefensible as far as I'm concerned.

[james]

Okay, I thought you were specifically referring to my recent post. I haven't seen what else has been said today.

The dudes in the black shirts did a great job fostering the atmosphere but things seemed to go awry. Maybe it was alcohol, I don't know. But the vibe got kinda hostile even among fellow TFC fans and now as a result of... let's call it "overzealousness" we can't buy tickets to the first playoff game in club history.

Also, it's hard to tell who's with who and representing what. Are the guys covering their faces part of the same group? And if they are, are they covering their faces because they know they're going to fuck shit up, or because of a perceived persecution, or something else? I could go on but won't bother. My original point was that I saw some stupid shit go down and now I might not be able to buy tickets.

might, I guess we find out tomorrow.

youre entitled to your opinion, and I'm glad you're passionate about it. All I'm saying is antagonizing 114 by calling them wannabes or whatever, on the Section of the RPB forum that they have access to, is a slap in the face to every person on here who spends time on improving our relationship with them and other groups.

Im sure you don't know how many times I've heard issues arise because of something that was said on the RPB forum. As you said yourself, it is the best place to discuss all matters TFC - just be sensitive of the environment that goes on after the power button is pressed.

[james]

To be honest did anyone ever actually here anything from Montreal or Toronto not letting us get any tickets???? all we herd is Montreal has not sold any tickets in upper 112 (where TFC away fans normally go) but they also have not sold them to Monrteal fans. So people have just jumped the gun and said we are banned? has anyone actually herd any official stuff from either club? other then random people posting stuff and articles written by non official clubs?

[MartinUtd]

Fair enough. But nobody should hold RPB brass responsible for what a member says, let alone an unaffiliated message board user.

Let's stop kicking the dead horse for now. Hopefully the ticket issue resolves itself.

This is what Phil said


I have a notice from TFC confirming that tickets will not be sold to 'Toronto' pending an investigation by the league.

And earlier today a friend of mine tried to buy tickets directly from the Impact and after they found out he was from Toronto and looking for the away section, they told him to call back again tomorrow.

[GonfiaLaRete]

Just buy in section 112. I just checked on ticket master, There are like 300 or 400 tickets available all together. Just buy those. No way were gonna have that many away fans after just coming back from there anyways.

[TFC Cityboy]

I wasn't sure if I was going to write all this but in light of the potential ban, I might as well.

What saw in Montreal in addition to some of the things I heard about were pretty embarrassing. When the first smoke bomb went off after the goal I thought it was pretty cool, the atmosphere was rocking and we were heading into half up a goal on our rivals and the whole section was bumping. But as the game wore on some of the self proclaimed hardcore ultras were more interested in making a scene than actually watching the game. I'm not projecting either, I heart it vocalized that more and more smoke bombs were being lit off towards the end of the match because "they wanted to use them up." This is despite the fact that the back half of the TFC section were becoming more and more agitated at their view being fully obstructed for minutes at a time during the run of play while a bunch of overgrown children dressed as Serbian gangsters (faces covered and all) lit off smoke bombs, flairs and even fucking fireworks over the field. Chair were torn out of the stands, some drunk TFC fan spit on an Impact fan and at least one fire was lit.

Maybe I'm just getting older and more boring, but seriously fuck those guys. We're a 9 year old club in Canada. We're not an oppressed group coming together at football matches and forming communities despite oppressive fascist regimes. That's not our history and when some fucking 19 year old tries to emulate it I shake my head. The rest of us are now paying the price because the man child brigade wanted to wave their dicks around. The worst part is, there probably wouldn't be an issue if they hadn't decided to light off the last 4 smoke bombs well after the game was over and security was waiting for the rest of the stadium to exit.

Otherwise, I had fun. I was great meeting some of you at the bar afterwards. Going solo is a funny trip, you certainly get a different perspective than when you're already part of a group.

-end rant-

spot on. I'm a day 1er at the back of 115 on the 114 side. I've stopped going to the matches now as their match day antics result in my getting pissed off, frustrated and angry and I can do better things with my weekends than pay for an unenjoyable day out.
Well put,Sir!

Ivy, if you take a look at MartinUtd's original rant, he did not identify any group or BMO Field section. Essentially he said he's pissed off that some people did stupid shit at the last game, and that it may have a negative impact on all TFC fans hoping to travel. (BTW even just the delay in ticket sales for Toronto supporters causes problems, as it was very short notice to plan a trip in the first place.) Other people (including yourself) identified a supporters group name & section. (Interesting, isn't it?) If you have some contact with representatives of the group that was mentioned, maybe they would also say that they're pissed off at some people that did stupid shit at the last game. Or not.

[Narster]

I just called my account rep and apparently, they are not going to do anything for travelling fans (no bus and they don't have any tickets to the away supporters section) he told me to consltact the Impact as they still have the tickets. Looks like fans have to plan it themselves.

You're right, he didn't say it, but others did; and I also just carried over what's being said on Twitter and figured it was agreed upon everywhere that 114 are the culprits... My apologies if that isn't so.
As far as I know, they posted the stadium rules on their Facebook and Twitter, and made it public that they didn't organize it. Whether or not it was their members who did it is a different issue.

Again, all I'm saying, is that I don't want this incident and a shitty situation to negatively affect our relationship and the support TFC receives next year. Maybe I'm just being silly though...

[Red CB Toronto]

Fair enough. But nobody should hold RPB brass responsible for what a member says, let alone an unaffiliated message board user.

Let's stop kicking the dead horse for now. Hopefully the ticket issue resolves itself.

In a way I hope the MLS does ban organized support for this match, thus not selling tickets to suporter clubs. As much I love this team and will be RPB forever, it would go a long way in ridding us of the crap that certain people/groups have been causing not just on Sunday but over the season. A message needs to be sent.

[Red CB Toronto]

Not surprised at all, would assume the MLSE Legal Eagles advised the FO to stay away from organizing anything travel related, just not worth it.

I am confused. Isn't this the only way to organize away trips. It is not hard to get tickets. If you want to go, you will be there thursday in 112. If not, you won't. Why would TFC do anything for travelling fans? They already did it once or twice before. People want handouts for every close away match?

[james]

ok enough shit about what happened on Sunday.....what is happening as far as ticket sales go?? is there still a U-Sec bus going? who still plans on going to Montreal? are people buying tickets in 112 upper section? will it be a standing section?

[FootieChick]

I'm waiting for a call back from the Impact office. If I don't hear back in the next 1/2 hour I'm calling back in regards to tickets in upper 112.

[TheGoodson]

I sent an email this morning and now just left a voicemail for Jeremy...

has as anyone heard from him or anyone to find out if there is going to be a supporters section?

I'm waiting for a call back from the Impact office. If I don't hear back in the next 1/2 hour I'm calling back in regards to tickets in upper 112.

thanks, I had called last night and they said they would get back to me today...no such luck. Let me us know what you find out.

[Ivy]

Guys... Nobody will know anything, or give you a concrete answer until the league rules on the situation. If you want to go regardless, call them and buy tickets in 112... That's all.

[Fort York Redcoat]

U-sec bus - waiting on decision to put the money down but YOU can put your name on their list. They have one and are looking for passengers.

People are trying to buy in 112 but not in the away support section on top. It's not on sale yet. You'll know after:

MLS finishes talking with TFC > TFC notifies Supporters and STH.

They will let us know, man.

Because TFC appreciate travelling support most of the time. It never hurts to ask. I have several ways of getting to ANY away game but I still appreciate someone else reaching out and trying to learn more. Sheesh.

[Narster]

114? Section 114 of BMO? They definitely weren't culprits. We have RPB members in section 114 of BMO. But now you're confusing things because the RPB in 114 don't have another Facebook and twitter. There is just the one that represents us all. So quit naming sections already...g:D

But you are being pretty silly.

I wish you all the best of luck at Saputo on Thurs bud. The security detail I expect will be severely different.

[james]

ok well me and 2 friends booked are trip to Montreal, we got the furthest row back we could that is for sale in section 112 (what would be the first row in front of what would be the supporters section). Hope we can get a supporters section, if not, lets just take over lower 112, there is pretty much a whole empty section.

[Justin10000]

No, travel ban according to Kurt Larson

There won't be any bans on traveling TFC supporters organizing for Thursday's match. Tickets will be allocated for supporters. #TFC

That's great news. I got tickets right in front of the section, on row v. Think I shoudl try to get the tickets switched or maybe we can just walk up if things get too feisty there.

[Bristolred]

Ergh. This makes it hard. Apparently I'm really needed for work in TO Thursday afternoon, but I'm still in MTL till Wednesday night. Tempted to make up some bullshit excuse to stay... They will see right through me, but it would be worth it. Maybe. Haha.

[mdc 77]

Had enough waiting, I've got tickets in 112 row T. Should be quite a few people in lower 112, or half way up.

[Ivy]

Good for you guys. Get them anywhere in 112. Let fill up that entire section!

[Red4ever]

Such horse shit. Released tommorow? No thanks.

Bought already

[BritSean]

They cant ban everyone from attending surely. That would cause a massive outrage and would put them in a bad spotilight.. I just presume they are holding off til the very last minute so that not as many fans can go, as its a Thursday at 7pm.. 400 turn up instead of 700 kinda thing... I am on the waiting list, I just called, The number is: (416) 360-4625 if anyone is interested... The guy said releasing the tickets tomorrow.

[GonfiaLaRete]

Id just buy tickets in the bottom of 112 so impact fans cant buy em than move up to the top after. Unless there is a big price difference from away section vs bottom of 112

[Justin10000]

Okay, I thought you were specifically referring to my recent post. I haven't seen what else has been said today.

The dudes in the black shirts did a great job fostering the atmosphere but things seemed to go awry. Maybe it was alcohol, I don't know. But the vibe got kinda hostile even among fellow TFC fans and now as a result of... let's call it "overzealousness" we can't buy tickets to the first playoff game in club history.

Also, it's hard to tell who's with who and representing what. Are the guys covering their faces part of the same group? And if they are, are they covering their faces because they know they're going to fuck shit up, or because of a perceived persecution, or something else? I could go on but won't bother. My original point was that I saw some stupid shit go down and now I might not be able to buy tickets.

if other supporter groups can have a strong 'our way is the only way approach' , then you certainly can have a equally opinionated approach with your ideas . When will the 'individuals ' ( is that politically correct enough ) , who may cause damages , injuries or curtail OUR ( being soccer lovers) away fan experience be called out . When I can't go to a game or when the asthma kicks in from the smoke, or like last year an individual had his clothes burned . There will be some fans that decide attending TFC games is simply not a family affair anymore . The 'fringe ' element also is found in all groups on all teams , and unfortunately they will be stoked for more of the same . but it's when fans who don't want to be involved in that atmosphere get affected , no one has a right to decide for others what kind of environment they should be in . Opinions have to be expressed , but in a factual manner . Hopefully without diatribe . Having an individual opinion , especially when against the flow takes a lot more courage , and I welcome all ideas .

[greatwhitenorf]

Were the trouble makers in Montreal wearing Arsenal shirts?

[james]

So i got 3 tickets in 112, the very last row that I could at the time before they claimed to be releasing upper 112 late this afternoon, just for curiosity I checked the map view.....all off 112 is now grey, what happened? haha

[GonfiaLaRete]

I highly doubt that although I hope you are right. I think they blocked it bc we were buying up all those seats while waiting for news to break about away section and they wanted to curb that so they wouldnt have empty seats that would have been available if people bought through away section.

Isn't that older news from Larson, before he tweeted that there is actually no ban?

[MartinUtd]

UPDATE

A friend of mine called TFC FO and couldn't get tickets, I just called myself and couldn't either. They're only releasing tickets to supporters groups and if you're not part of a supporters group then "try and buy off ticketmaster close to 112."

[Fort York Redcoat]

I've just heard that they are releasing 100 tickets at some point tomorrow.

Take with a grain of salt.

[FootieChick]

I just called, we need to speak with Phil to get tickets. He has them apparently.

[Auzzy]

"no" ban.

[Wagner]

Phil doesn't have tickets.

[MartinUtd]

Phil doesn't have tickets.

FYI the TFC front office is telling people to ask SG's for tickets.

[MartinUtd]

Also for what it's worth, I just went through ticketmaster and got them as close to the away section as possible. $40/each after service fees.

[Phil]

FYI the TFC front office is telling people to ask SG's for tickets.

There is a post up in the members section. The process is there along with the timelines. Very limited quantities available.

[GonfiaLaRete]

Just buy in 113. Still lots of seats available. If you want to go the game, no excuse not to. Enjoy our victory everyone who is going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Narster]

I snagged the last pair in lower 112, seems like the whole section is empty now, get them in 113 is your best shot for now.

[Nytekrawla]

I still have one single ticket in 112 row X if anyone is interested

[GonfiaLaRete]

Fuck the Impact

[Discostu81]

Still available?

That's interesting... Considering they're only allocating 100 to SGs... What happened to the rest? Sold to IMFC fans?

probably a few rows seperation between supporters and imfc fans (also likely a fair amount of security.

[TheGoodson]

I'm will be in 113... About 5 rows from the top right next to 112.

lets bring it I will guarantee I won't have a voice by the end of the day

Lets go TFC

[TheGoodson]

great to know, thanks everyone. I will probably grab a pint or two pre game for sure.

One more question, which metro station is closest as I was thinking of grabbing the metro to at least go to the stadium as it is the first time I will be going there

Peel, its at the corner of Peel and Maisonneuve, just up the street from McLeans, 5 min walk or so.

[MightyDM]

4 of us in 112. I was in Montreal for the miracle, LA for the CCL game and Seattle for opening game last season, let's hope my big game luck holds. fantastic! And a positive post, too!

very interesting the comments on that IMFC facebook page ... easily half the comments were against the sanctions and in support of ultra culture; my favourite comment was "although i am a impact fan, i am with toronto fc on this !!!" others complaining that their own ultras don't get to do what toronto ultras did, lol.

The rules are bullshit. Wasn't even checked, security was nice. No issues at all.

So exactly what happened tonight? I was trying to get a ticket but just watched the game at Mcleans with some buddies instead. To what extent was Rycroft's post true?

Apparently that TFC supporters were attacked with batons (women included). There's a video making the rounds where they are giving stick to Seba and he has to be dragged away.

Classless idiots tbh.

It was horrible - certainly put the damper on returning to Montreal for an away game. There were bad behaviours on both sides but security really made a muck of it. We were held in the stands for 20 min and then let go in this dark wooded area.. right into a group of drunk montreal ultras. There were running skirmishes throughout ... especially in that skateboard park looking area. Had a beer can almost hit me and we were just trying to get the hell out. Disgraceful. And it certainly looked pretty one sided in terms of whom they arrested after.

I was also with a group of TFC fans in the subway, where a couple people were arrested (or just ticketed?). A couple I believe was for refusing to stop jumping but another couple that didn't seem warranted.

[nfitz]

They released the supporters to the back entrance with the long walk through the park to Sherbrooke and Viau instead of escorting them towards Metro Viau? Someone should get fired for that.

[Pinkie]

yup. we were literally dropped off and given no instructions on where to go or if there was going to be security present all the way to Viau. It was a goddamn shitshow. Security was useless, the cops where downright hostile to the Toronto supporters, and I was seriously worried for my safety as a woman.

I'm not sure if I'm going to ever go back to that shit stadium that doesn't even have real washrooms.

[Red4ever]

We had an undercover officer in our section the whole game. When we almost got attacked he jumped up and flashed a badge.

Other than that, they were shit shit and more shit.

[Redcoe15]

Piece of shit Limpact scum fans. They give MLS supporters a bad rep and reinforce the views of soccer haters here about the game.

in Montreal .......never trust in the 'authorities' ......stay out of trouble .They're police watch too many
Clint Eastwood movies . I've been throughout Quebec and one thing I've learned is keep a low profile . That's why I laugh at all the tough ultras . Theyd shit if they got on their bad side .

Shit that sounds horrible.

Same thing happened on sunday. Was very surprised we didn't get a police escort either too or from the station. Made tensions high and caused an unnecessary amount of mayhem.

Hi Guys! First time poster, long time TFC supporter. Section 110 Row 29 Seats 25 & 26. Looking to become an official RPB member soon.

I was one of those people who got pulled off the train. We literally weren't doing anything besides singing with everyone. We weren't jumping or anything. It was a really fun ride actually. Some beefcake STM cop singles out my friend when we got to Berri-UQAM station. He barges through a bunch of us and says "this guy...this is your stop". We were all like WTF?!?! Obviously we get off with him.

Sidenote: I wanna say thanks to the supporters who urged us to all stick together and then do nothing when some of us get pulled off the train. Not saying we needed to physically assault the cops or anything, it just would have been nice to have some numbers.

Anyways, our buddy gets pulled out and three of us go with. We're forced to leave the platform by some other STM cop meat heads. Then they start trying to arrest my friend. They ask his name and he obviously doesn't give them the right one. They ask for ID and he says he doesn't have any. They can't legally search him because they know he's committed no crime. When asked what he's done they say "obstructing justice". Uhhh what crime has been committed here that he's obstructing justice? So they give him some line about how they're going to validate his information (lol like STM police have a database of all the residents of Ontario? NOPE!).

They end up letting him go, because he's done nothing OBVIOUSLY. We're hanging out above the platform and we ask if we can get back on the train. We were literally TWO stops away from our hotel. They finally let us on and two STM cops tail us. Shitty end to a shitty result.

So two things I've learned:

1. STM Cops are DICKS!
2. We should stick together more when shit ACTUALLY goes down. Our numbers are all we have when travelling.

This was my second time doing away support for TFC. First time was Columbus last year. Needless to say I plan on doing every single one when we play Montreal. I wanna be there when we win so I can rub it in their faces.

[james]

I had a great time once again in Montreal despite the shitty 3-0 lose. I thot the atmosphere was LOUD. And this is the first time in Saputo since the new renovations (I went to Saputo in 2008 and Olympic Stadium in 2013) and I really liked there stadium last night.

However this is not the first time i have seen Montreal fans waiting outside to fight TFC fans, and security in Montreal once again lead us to a gate exit at which the Impact Ultras were waiting for us. They really need to clue in the fact that just leading us to a gate exit doesn't mean the trouble is over.There was small quick fights and skirmishes and some Ultras throwing shit and then police came running in rather fast with there clubs out. I did see one TFC supporter get arrested for fighting even tho Impact Ultra instigated the fight in the first place and I think they let the Impact Ultra walk away. I think a few other TFC fans also got arrested. It was a bit of a hasty atmosphere after the game walking to the station. Anyway it was still fun, security might need to clue in whats going on next time tho. I will still be back to Montreal, and just hope we can play much better after are awful 3-0 performance and beat those fuckers next time.

question for those that were in the supporter section. Was it actual police or CheeseFactory security that held you back in the stadium for 20 minutes?

We were not treated poorly by police or security while in the stadium. The problem is there is no security between our gate and the subway.

Evey game it it has been ' Best ' security ........but only game I wasn't there was Thurs

[Dunkers]

It was both but this is normal practice.

We were not treated poorly by police or security while in the stadium. The problem is there is no security between our gate and the subway.

I was following at the back of the group and had to restrain a few TFC fans from going at Impact fans, and I can assure you the Impact director of operations walked us all the way to Subway and was in constant radio contact with the security team.

[Supporting]

What's that gonna do? why didn't they bring out the security team as an escort?? not just have them in contact...

[Red CB Toronto]

I have never have had to wait in the stadium after a TFC game in Montreal, always just pull my windbreaker without a single thread of Red and walk out. Common sense has told me over the years, that the colours are best for the stadium and the pub, we would never have an issue at McLeans.

[jazzy]

interesting.... just looking into forcible confinement. I don't think everyone wanted to wait inside that stadium.

in Quebec it's who you know ......it can be like the wild west .....On Sundays game I snuck out below with the Montreal fans because I knew from the past how it was going to be played out , But you usually have to be a bit away from the large main supporters to do that . They didn't even have a game for us using washrooms. at first upstairs no! , downstairs no!...Best security seemed to be calling 'ALL' the shots......I wasn't aggressive so I got my way . But someone higher up in their food chain seemed to have a predetermined idea on how to treat us . It's low class and won't change . Only if they see how much $$$ we bring , then maybe they'll wake up . Really sad for me to 'F' Montreal road trips for now but I can only be shit on so much until I need a shower . And I don't ever want to have to defend myself and end up in jail . Sad !
