I think they did the same thing the last time we had a big contingent at Olympic Stadium. I was there. :D


I think last time it was a strip of sections, 1st & 2nd level (although the top & bottom sections didn't line up perfectly).

Wait, if you aren't a member of any group you wont be able to sit with away supporters? Surely cant be true? Or do you mean only if purchasing tickets from RPB?

At this point we don't know exactly the rules or conditions. In the past Impact FO have preferred to deal with supporter group members for tickets and have introduced a number of safeguards this year as a result of past issues. That hasn't stopped people from buying in the past, but if you want to be with the supporters groups then its best to have an affiliation with a group.

I'm hoping the ticket sales are something similar to the knockout game last year, where you could contact their ticketing office and purchase in the away section. Otherwise you are just asking for more trouble, you'll have a massive number of fans from Toronto spread through the stadium. Lets see what they come out with.

I just spoke to 'ticket pro' rep and he said there is a change - not 149 and 151 but only the top 257 259 261

you can buy 149 and 151 right now - i just bought 2 in 151 for 76$ all in

you can call now there is a bout a 15 minute hold but then you get through

1 866 908 9090

edit: this map that is on their current ticket purchasing site always designates 149-151 as away support but currently they are purchasable over the phone to the general public

I'm at a discounted room at the Bonaventure Hotel. Makes it easy for me with the train since it's right on top of it basically and not that much further from McLeans than the Best Western.

I'll see everyone there!

I'll wait on the Away Team to sort out the ticket situation before securing my game ticket, though.

You need to be a member and go through the membership process to sit with us as members, unless Montreal opens it up to everyone. You won't have time for that for this year, but if you want to contribute to support (not just get tickets) you are welcome to join for next year. You can contact Montreal for tickets to the game (they might be on Ticketmaster), we encourage all fans to attend wherever Montreal places them and cheer the team on.

I thought someone earlier said they had no problem getting tickets over the phone and never had to say they were part of a supporter group?
It may not be the exact same section as supporter groups, but it would still be in the same area with all the other Toronto fans.

Thank you Phil. I am not a member of RPB but have hung out with you guys often in section 112 and at RPB headquarters (Shoeless). Would love to sit with you guys in Montreal rather than in hostile territory. I am assuming easiest way to do this and best advice for all on this forum is to become a paying member?

It doesn't work quite like that. There is a general allotment based off of stadium size and availability. Typically for us its somewhere between 300 and 5 to 8 hundred. It really depends on the relationship and demand. Given that the big O is that size and Montreal can't even fill the stade o fromage, I think they will happily take our cash for seats and beer. Also remember that this message board is the exception and not the norm - there are hundreds of us, possibly a couple thousand that are begging to go on this trip here. Its also on a Tuesday night so that may complicate or dissuade a lot of travel.

“Phil, people will come Phil. They'll come to Montreal for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up at MacLeans not knowing for sure why they're doing it. Then they'll arrive at Olympic Stadium as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you join us, you'll say. It's only $40 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect indoor night. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along with the Away Supporters Section, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Phil. The one constant through all the years, Phil, has been soccer. Toronto has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But soccer has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Phil. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Phil. People will most definitely come.”

For non-members the only way is from the Impact office or from a scalper website. I'm sure they will clarify where Toronto fans are sitting in the next day or two.

To be honest I have no idea what the process will entail given Montreals new crackdown on travelling support this year. But given that this year has been more difficult to get tickets for their venue, my gut says the early tickets may be for sg members.

Basically I have no idea right now.

I emailed him at 5 PM yesterday and still haven't heard back. Doubt we'll hear very much until the allocation and section issues are sorted with the SG's.

I wouldn't worry though. All my previous interactions with Jeremie have been great. He'll take care of you once everything is figured out.

I'm a bit puzzled if the Impact have a "play book" on away supporters why not have sections set aside for visiting support to buy in? Its one thing to allocate tickets to supporter groups to control, but what sense does it make if you then have people who aren't members in a specific group sitting throughout the stadium?

I can tell you right now based on just talking with some friends who are making the trip up you will have a large number of people at this game that aren't "members", whether this group or another. People will just buy tickets where they can, I don't know it just seems like this is asking for trouble. They should have already known this.

OK... Sarnia TFC.....I panicked.

With flights and hotel booking already in place ....I booked 3 tickets in closest section I could find to 149, 151.......section 143. Anyone else in similar situation feel free to join me....
Would actually be cool if we could overtake that whole side of the stadium.


If there is chance to trade for tix in TFC section I will do later and sell these ones.

3 TFC tix in hand is worth 6 in la bouche!

Tickets are available in the same sections as the supporters group. I think we need to clear the air. You don't need to be a member of a group to attend the game and be in the designated away stands. Obviously I'm not trying to discourage people from joining the group but just did not someone not to attend the game because they don't think they can get tickets. If you contact the Impact directly they will get you situated in the away stand with tickets. The other thing people need to know, for those that haven't travelled to see TFC, is that when you buy a ticket in the away stand it's essentially a ticket on the terrace. Everyone stands and merely fills in space so essentially, don't count on sitting in your actual seat.

*UPDATE* - It appears Bluenose13 beat me to the punch! Thanks for clearing it up fella!

Listen guys, getting a membership does not mean you will have access to these tickets.
That there is no guarantee, we know very little in terms of allocation.TFC away supporters & TFC supporter groups will be right beside each other or above each other(upper deck)

We don't wont people to apply for membership just to obtain a ticket,we are more then that,our members are volunteers,there is a lots of work to organize trips,tickets,make banners,fundraisers,we would like you guys to join and be a part of this group for more then just a ticket for game here and there.

I know everyone is excited and wants to be there. For those that do not have memberships and don't want to wait to see how this shakes out they have started to open up the upper deck today at Olympic Stadium for public sales. Its $29. Even some first row seats are still available. Also it appears they are making you buy in pairs.

We'll be having a new membership drive in the spring. Stay tuned. We'll be happy to have new applications!!! Membership involves being actively involved in support in some capacity and a membership fee of $25** (not much more than a BMO beer or two).

There is a section labeled as being reserved for away supporters. 200 level in the corner. They're just blocked off right now. That's why you can't buy tickets there.

Red CB Toronto

Looks like road closures are being put into place around for the stadium for anyone driving.

The club advises supporters to get to the Olympic Stadium early to avoid traffic around Olympic Park and overcrowding at the stadium’s entrance, and to use public transit. Pie-IX Blvd. will be partially closed in the northbound direction, from Pierre-de-Coubertin Ave. to Mont-Royal Ave., preventing vehicles from turning right on Sherbrooke East St. Traffic disruptions are also scheduled on Pierre-de-Coubertin Ave., between Viau St. and Pie-IX Blvd., until the end of the season.

You don't need to be in a section of seats designated for the Red Patch Boys or Innebriatti or any of the supporters groups to join in. If you got tickets to the game and asked to be in a supporters area for Toronto (make sure you say you're a Toronto supporter!) you will be in an area of the stadium in the thick of Toronto support. Then, just do the following:

Look: Watch the game. This is going to be charged.
Listen: You'll definitely be close enough to hear the singing and what is being sung
Loud: Sing along! If you can't quite pick it up, ask the guy next to you. If they don't know, get that guy to ask the guy next to him. Make new friends and be involved. This has the potential to be more than just an incredible game in the history of TFC. An away game support is special. It can change you.

RPB, General Supporters Section, it won't matter. It will be one huge section. One giant group of Toronto supporters. We will all be there for TFC together, so fear not. The biggest hurdle is getting yourself to the Big O on the 22nd.

That's fine. Wait a day like everyone else. SG get first-pick because they go out of their way and organize it. Can you really expect them not to want their paying members to benefit first? They organize these sections so they can be with the people they stand with day-in and day-out.

biggest concern is that there are no tickets left. Have called impact and am waiting, called yesterday morning at 904am. Want seats with TFC support cuz i know how nasty it can be to be away support amongst home support, especially in a rivalry match. Funny that some people who call for GA so strongly arent willing to actually make it GA now.

Sure they are holding back....thats why they are selling in blocks..as the blocks fill they open more...there will be more then enough to go around to all TFC supporters and all TFC supporters will be together...Just as we all were a few fews ago when 5k+ travelled to Montreals Big O....They Block off the entire upper and Lower levels off for TFC supporters...you couldnt even leave that area of the stadium...1 way in 1 way out..:drum:

Honestly, it ain't even about benefits... I personally don't want any new members joining just because of this. FCK that I don't like being used... Members have paid their dues in one way or another or can be vouched for if shit goes south down in MTL. We Police our own if shit happens.

I don't mean this to sound inflammatory, but it's this kind of attitude that I think puts alot of people off joining a supporters groups.

Want seats with TFC support cuz i know how nasty it can be to be away support amongst home support, especially in a rivalry match. Funny that some people who call for GA so strongly arent willing to actually make it GA now. I get that this is the way it is and its not changing, dont blame anyone for it but felt i should voice my displeasure as i have been part of this forum for a long time.

I have always been against GA and from my recollection the majority of RPB members who are in this group today have also been against it and you can search that. Granted, I feel there are board members such as yourself (that although you are not part of RPB) I would vouche for 100%.

Oss I hope you get tickets... I will see what I can do with the powers that be to help you.

Honestly, it ain't even about benefits... I personally don't want any new members joining just because of this. FCK that I don't like being used... Members have paid their dues in one way or another or can be vouched for if shit goes south down in MTL. We Police our own if shit happens. MTL is very particular about that and will hold us accountable.

didn't understand why the reticence to reveal the code and preference to membership for away support - but this i get - makes perfect sense especially based on history...

My 2 cents:

We all support TFC.

Would that all in the past would have supported without being idiotic fools.

Given the great publicity going on for TFC right now, the LAST thing this team needs is another Bozo eruption. After FHRITP and that stupid mysoginistic two stick, the LAST thing any of us want is a 3rd strike due to some person unvouched for being in the middle of the TFC supporter section doing something stupid. That could kill support right when we are building something.

So, unfortunately, if the expectation is police your own, then that is what it has to be and ultimately that is for the good of ALL supporters and for the good of the team we all support. Work within it and we all get a better time. I wish it was otherwise but behaviour of the few (and certainly this approach is equally because of some really stupid stuff by some IMFC types) sometimes has consequences on the innocent many.

When it comes to TFC tickets I will never forget that night at the Mansion sitting around before the second season when we divided up those RPB group tickets over beers just to get more fellow supporters into the stadium. I actually found some of those stubs recently. Cheers to this, 10 years in the making.

Just got tickets in 261. My brother and I are going. So my guilt feeling of jumping the gun will compel me to put down the membership dues on Tuesday. (Always wanted to join anyways - just never had the appropriate opportunity) I've been going to games since 2009 SSH since 2012. Away trips - Montreal 3 x LA 1 x So its time I join.

So stoked for this game.

weak. we're all looking to hit the road to support, and this guy here with the "membership has its privileges" crap. way to show solidarity to your SG over the actual club.


it's a long complicated answer .... i LOVE the team and supporting at matches, but a lot of the other shit is just annoying ... example, guys saying "uhhhh code is MEMBERS ONLY" and clown shit like that

What's weak is the entitlement and annoying shit like using "the club" as a reason to get something for you. Solidarity for the group is rewarding contribution. This kind of contribution above seems out of place on a groups forum.

Don't worry we're still looking for as many people to be a part of this epic part of the clubs history but there are people working hard to make sure everyone is taken care of.

Yes but this was a SG presale and from what i can see all groups have asked not to share the code. There is a public sale coming, the SGs just get first dibs. And that seems fair to me.


my biggest issue with joining an SG is that i havent got the time to help out and to be frank, outside of standing and singing i have no interest.
Shame cuz ive bought plenty of away game tickets through this forum in previous years and have been around since before the start when it was that janky forum that some dude overseas owned and there was no name for this group.

There are plenty that only take part in the stands.


That's fine. Wait a day like everyone else. SG get first-pick because they go out of their way and organize it. Can you really expect them not to want their paying members to benefit first? They organize these sections so they can be with the people they stand with day-in and day-out.

Furthermore, you could call Impact FO like many others have and get seats.

This is bang on in my opinion. Between Phil, JC, Fizik and heads of other groups, there has been alot of work to get in contact with Impact FO to organize these tickets. Not to mention the work they put in for other away trips.


biggest concern is that there are no tickets left. Have called impact and am waiting, called yesterday morning at 904am. Want seats with TFC support cuz i know how nasty it can be to be away support amongst home support, especially in a rivalry match. Funny that some people who call for GA so strongly arent willing to actually make it GA now. I get that this is the way it is and its not changing, dont blame anyone for it but felt i should voice my displeasure as i have been part of this forum for a long time.

Its already been stated that as sections fill more will become available.


I don't mean this to sound inflammatory, but it's this kind of attitude that I think puts a lot of people off joining a supporters groups. We're all tfc supporters, hardcore enough to take days off work and give up dozens of hours of our lives to travel to Montreal and new York just to support this team. Is that not what matters more than which group you affiliate with?

Thanks for coming to the away games, and the support for the team is wanted for sure. But is it too much to ask to wait until the public sale of tickets goes up so that the SGs that are there day in day out, rain or snow, create banners, sing until their voices are gone, stand all game, have first crack? They are the ones that organize the tickets so that we can all get together in the stands for away support.


Yeah vs some ponce who's been on the forum since 2014 running their mouth about what we should and shouldn't expect as tfc supporters

don't know who you are and sorry if you've been involved in the past. but a day to wait for public sale isn't the end of the world. and as flush mentioned there are people he can help out as he recognizes them.

Yes the more the better, but i see no issue with letting the SGs have first dibs, and holding off on public sale for a day. I also have no issue if you make the effort yourself to get in contact with impact FO and get your ticket that way, but understand that man is busy as shit because everyone is trying to do the same. Be patient but like i said before we have been asked not to share the code with the public.

Just to be clear on something here - that guy you are putting down does more in the past two years than most. He attends games both home and away, helps with banner prodection and deployment, waves flags all game, does the build up and tear down and sometimes spots in on drumming. Have some respect before running someone down because of their join date.

Away Supporters info has now been released to Non-SG public.

Here's all the info from Impact Ticketing... Let's paint Montreal RED!!!!



Below are a few important notes on how to proceed with the purchase of your tickets in the visiting supporter section:
1. Limit of 10 tickets per transaction
2. Groups greater than 10, please contact me by email to purchase your tickets
3. Your designated gate is Gate 13A. Reach the access by the pedestrian Plaza outside the stadium
4. All tickets purchased in the visiting supporter section are General Admission tickets and will work on a first come first serve basis
5. If you purchase a ticket, you will receive a copy of the visiting supporters guide by e-mail a few days prior to the match. Please read it over before arriving at the stadium on match day as it contains important information.

Here is how to purchase a ticket in the visiting supporter section:

1) Follow the link : https://secure.ticketpro.ca/?lang=en&server=ww1&promo=TFC1122#achat_RIO22KS16 (http://t.sidekickopen16.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs8rljYvW3N1JK 64Xrjx6W3M2f5R56dPFpf34zWxM02?t=https%3a%2f%2fsecu re.ticketpro.ca%2f%3flang%3den%26server%3dww1%26pr omo%3dTFC1122%23achat_RIO22KS16&si=5739067921137664&pi=be71103f-08b5-4ed9-a547-2dd465051707)
2) Select the “Automatic Selection” option at the bottom right of the screen.
3) Enter the quantity of tickets that you wish to purchase
4) Click “Add to cart” then “Checkout”
5) Select “e-Ticket” or “Smartphone ticket” as your shipping method.

Any ticket related questions please direct to:
Jérémie Lavoie - 514-328-5173 (tel:514-328-5173) - jeremie.lavoie@impactmontreal.com


...

As a side note, both teams' front offices have done a terrible job in handling this situation, which has led to a lot of the frustration seen on this board.

Tickets went on sale to the public without any mention of the process for away supporters.
The sections were identified on the map, but when you logged on to the site, it just appeared as tho they were already sold out - no mention that they would be released at a later date.

It didn't help matters that several RPB members posts on here were quite dismissive of non-members, and made it seem as tho Supporters Section tickets would only be released to SG members. (Although some other members did clarify this later to try and ease people's concerns - thank you to those of you who did!)

If the process had been explained properly from the beginning it would have saved everyone a ton of stress and anxiety.

Why not just make this information readily available from the start?

- Supporters Section would be opened later on (after regular tickets had already been on sale to general public for several days)
- SG's would get "Pre-Sale" rights first, and then they would be open to non-affiliated Supporters after that.
- Contact the Impact Ticketing agent (Jeremie Lavoie) directly for Supporters Section tickets.
- They would open a few Supporters Sections at a time, and would open more once those filled up.


It's not that difficult, and I think everyone would have been fine with that if they had just been made aware.
Just my two cents /end of rant/

Anyhow we now have 2 pairs both in 259 away supporters section and now need to sell one pair. It came out to exactly $60 per pair with service charge, and that's exactly what I will ask for them, not a penny more. Please PM if interested.

I would buy tickets in any section if you can't get supporters. If they do security properly, they will leave open sections into which people can be ushered on game day.

I also have no doubt they want to cap us. I doubt we see more than 2000.

Predicting 3-5000 TFC supporters will be there.

Based on capacity, the avg section there holds 300. We got 6 sections. Gonna estimate 1500-1800 seats assigned in those 6 at absolute maximum. Some scattered about in other areas. Probably closer to 2K I would think?

Thanks for coming to the away games, and the support for the team is wanted for sure. But is it too much to ask to wait until the public sale of tickets goes up so that the SGs that are there day in day out, rain or snow, create banners, sing until their voices are gone, stand all game, have first crack? They are the ones that organize the tickets so that we can all get together in the stands for away support.


Sorry to derail the thread, but I had to reply to this. You may not mean it to come across this way (and sorry if you don't, but I guarantee I'm not the only one reading your comments like this), but the way you talk makes it seem like you believe your arbitrary ties to a certain tribe of TFC supporters makes your support, or you as a supporter, somehow inheriently more valuable than those who aren't part of that. You are wrong.

The SGs do not have a monopoly on being there day in day out, creating banners, standing all game and singing. How many people sit in the supports section? How many members of SGs are there? The math does not add up. Someone who does all of the above is not worth less than the person who stands next to them because of a $25 yearly fee and an affiliation to one of the differing tribes that exist. By the same token, someone who stands and sings isn't worth less than the person who is there every week on the east stand, but doesn't want to goto the south because of his family who they bring, or because standing and singing just isn't their thing, or because they just don't have the time to commit to any more than 90 minutes a week because they travel for hours to see the reds. They are as hardcore as you or I. You don't have exclusive rights to the 'correct' way to support the team.

I have alot of respect for the SGs, they do great work and contribute alot to the atmosphere at BMO field, the place would be a worse place without them. I just object to this kind of mentality, because the stadium would be also be a worse place without the non SGs who sing all game, without the people all over the stadium who support us every week, who were there during the worst of the Mariner years. Now FluSH explained the reasons why tickets were distubuted the way they were and is helping those left out which is awesome, so this is all I'll say on it, just couldn't read that and not respond because we're all TFC supports, everything else is just a matter of preference.

I've got 3 extra tickets for any TFC Fans that need them.

They're not in supporters section, but they're close to that end of the stadium
Sec 451 2nd row.
That's in the 500's, above the supporters and a couple sections over.

I bought them as insurance before Supporters were released, but thankfully was able to get supporters for myself, so don't need these any more.


They cost me $30 each, so that's what I'm selling them for. ($29 each + $2 "Printing fee")
Would like to sell them all together.

PM me if you are interested.

You may not mean it to come across this way (and sorry if you don't, but I guarantee I'm not the only one reading your comments like this), but the way you talk makes it seem like you believe your arbitrary ties to a certain tribe of TFC supporters makes your support, or you as a supporter, somehow inheriently more valuable than those who aren't part of that. You are wrong.

The SGs do not have a monopoly on being there day in day out, creating banners, standing all game and singing. How many people sit in the supports section? How many members of SGs are there? The math does not add up. Someone who does all of the above is not worth less than the person who stands next to them because of a $25 yearly fee and an affiliation to one of the differing tribes that exist. By the same token, someone who stands and sings isn't worth less than the person who is there every week on the east stand, but doesn't want to goto the south because of his family who they bring, or because standing and singing just isn't their thing, or because they just don't have the time to commit to any more than 90 minutes a week because they travel for hours to see the reds. They are as hardcore as you or I. You don't have exclusive rights to the 'correct' way to support the team.

I have alot of respect for the SGs, they do great work and contribute alot to the atmosphere at BMO field, the place would be a worse place without them. I just object to this kind of mentality, because the stadium would be also be a worse place without the non SGs who sing all game, without the people all over the stadium who support us every week, who were there during the worst of the Mariner years. Now FluSH explained the reasons why tickets were distubuted the way they were and is helping those left out which is awesome, so this is all I'll say on it, just couldn't read that and not respond because we're all TFC supports, everything else is just a matter of preference.

No one is saying we are better fans. We aren't.

We have used our common goals to leverage benefits. That's it and that's all. The same as credit card holders, unions, and Ciniplex scene club members and CAA.

I don't have an american express card (and thus no "pre sale access") , but I didn't get mad at people who do when I struck out on multiple concert tickets this summer.

Sorry, but I respectfully disagree. I think it is fair that supporter groups would get first dibs. Most of the time, it's the SG's presidents, vice presidents, ect. spending their own time (sometimes not taking lunch breaks) on the phones to the other team's front offices trying to organize things so EVERYONE can be safe. We were given a window. Once that window was up, other TFC fans got to buy their tickets. In the end, we'll all be there so what is the issue? Someone mentioned earlier they estimated 1500-2000 seats for TFC fans. that's alot of seats left over for everyone else.

Hypothetically, would you think it's fair if SGs organized busses only to have them filled by non members? I don't. I would be very upset if there was one and my spot was taken by someone outside the group and I had to find my own way down.

EDIT: Same thing happens at all sporting events. There are different windows for different groups. Why was it ok to wait to buy Winter Classic Tickets but not ok in this situation?

To me, the issue has been the complete lack of communication.

People wanted to go and be with other TFC fans, and had no idea how the process worked.
It was not communicated ANYWHERE, except by word of mouth.

I'm fine with SG's getting pre-sales, and I think most people would be as well.

The problem is, a lot of the miscommunication or complete lack of seemed to suggest non-SG's would not be given a chance at all - which would not have been right IMO.

As it stands now, the fact that there was NO information available anywhere on the Impact's ticket sales site about how to purchase tickets in an Away Supporters Section means that a lot of TFC fans DID miss out on it.

Yeah, I'm a member, was checking frequently and still missed out on the window to purchase tickets with the SG. I took JoesphNdo's comment as a repudiation of that 'chip on the shoulder' mentality that goes both ways with unaffiliated people asking for tickets and the affiliated (some of them anyway) being snarky about it.

Everyone wants to go and have a good time but the way the Impact FO handles away tickets unfortunately puts SG's in an awkward position... especially when they make it so hard to buy unaffiliated tickets to such a high demand event.

and we didn't have any information either until yesterday, with the exception that its being worked on. Everyone was in a huge panic way too early. trust me everyone wants to go, but everyone needs to be patient, information will come as its given. Its great that non-SGs members look to the SGs for information but don't get pissy when its not given out, or given out in a timely manner, or that we want to protect the relationships we have with FOs especially with Impact FO whom the relationship is very sour over some very unfortunate events at previous matches.

How is it a supporter groups responsibility to communicate to non-members about away tickets? Have you picked up the phone and contacted Impact FO? Contacted Mr. Lavoie his contact information has been plastered all over this Thread.... When in doubt contact the HEAD OFFICE of the club you are travelling to, they will be able to answer all your questions...

Don't come on to the boards and gripe about the fact SG's got first crack at tickets. The only reason we (RPB'S, can't speak on whom from other groups did the same thing) got that "first crack" is because our President picked up the phone and arranged it with Impact FO. Kudos Phil....

Just to be clear, this all has to go with our Front office, interaction with other front offices comes a bit later with the actual security plan. We just gauge intrest and press them to get us the info we need and pass info along.

Problem is the Montreal FO is telling people to hit you up for tickets. Furthermore the pre-sale link they gave you is the same one they gave other SG's so there's no differentiating who gets tickets and what group buys up from the block first.

That is the reason RPB brass are being bombarded so much.

There was no info to communicate. We were in the dark up until the window was supposed to open. I think our Execs do a fantastic job of protecting our best interests and then passing on info to non-affiliated.

Does anyone remember the first Columbus trip? Alot went down there and then the SGs were the ones who unfairly took the heat for it as they were easily identified. Our Execs (and I would assume the other SG's Execs) have learned from that.

From what I understand the Impact designated 744 seats to the away stand. Those were gone in a very short period and they have now designated more sections to the away support. I don't think it's unreasonable to now expect 1,500 or so supporters.

I did. And I was thankfully able to get some.

But many others did try contacting the Impact ticketing site, where a rational person would expect to find that information, and there wasn't a single word there besides a map showing where those seats were located and that none were available.
Most people would not know to contact Jeremie directly, and TicketPro wasn't sharing that info either.

I am not suggesting it is the SG's responsibility to convey this information - this was a major failing by the Impact Front Office.

However there were some posts from members on this board that perpetuated the mis-information... quickly and harshly commenting that tickets were only for members - which implied none would be made available for non-members.
That only stirs up people who are already anxious they won't get to experience this after years and years of waiting.

To be fair, there were some others (FLuSH and a few others come to mind) who then tried to calm people down and provide as much information as they could (including Jeremie's contact info), and I've thanked them for that in a previous post already.

Everyone just wants to be able to support TFC in this huge match.
