There was a 15-page thread about Purolator trucks last year, near the begining of April.

They said that for this year(meaning 2009) the latest will be a week before home opener. That's at the latest...... Will see

They will always go out as late as possible to allow for last minute fixture changes before going to print and last minute change of address notifications before being shipped. Makes sense really, and also helps build the anticipation and excitement. If we all got them in the mail in January it would be a bit of a non-event. Getting them a week before the home opener creates delirium, especially on these boards... :D:D:D

The season is starting March 21st this year.

The ticket rep told me that we're getting the tickets in March next year.

^^ I do believe some Purulator drivers were harmed in the making of that thread

in the first season, I got my tickets about 3 days before hoping on the usector bus down to New England. I don't think we had them when we played Chivas, but I could be wrong.

I heard this year they are using UPS...and that the policy for signing for the packages will be different. I also heard (from the same mail man who heard Robbo was leaving) that they are giving us scarves and caps this season :-)

Good, because my sense of entitlement is running rampant.

Now where's my private gate?

What were some of the issues with the tickets being dropped off last year that would cause a change from Purolator to UPS?

I don't know about a gate, but I wouldn't mind my own private washroom, stocked with soccer-specific toilet paper.

There were several issues :-) :

1. The Purolator guys were nosy
2. Some packages were left on peoples' driveways
3. They did not have any team updates or insides stories when they dropped off the packages

It was an utterly disappointing service experience

With patterns of opposing MLS team logos?

a whole roll of the Crew logo would do perfectly for my toilet roll

late would be the day after the first home game. anything before that is o.k. must drive the scalpers crazy!

ya, as long as they arrive before the first home game, that's all that matters.

chances are we're not gonna have the first game of the whole season at home... now that things are starting earlier we may not see a home game til the 4th or 5th game!
