G20 Travel Guide - TFC vs. Galaxy, 06-26-10

[Darlofletch]

me and the mrs about to head down now, not that we live far away so it's not really any kind of heroic struggle. good luck to everyone who tries to get there.

[Porterfield]

Just went from 404 down to DVP, across Gardiner to Spadina exit, lakeshore to BMO. Whole trip took 20 min, about 15 min faster than a normal drive down

[smeghead]

i think ill be using my scarf after the game.

[Stimpy]

This is absolute bullshit. MLSE are a bunch of money hungrey bastards. The Blue Jays got it right....
The media release from TFC was
"with limited parking on the CNE grounds, the Direct Energy Centre’s designation as the G20 Summit Media Centre, and a number of expected road closures and delays, supporters are encouraged to utilize public transit on game day."

THERE BETTER BE A FUCKING REFUND !!!!

[rocker]

fuck... with no car... and now no GO Train, I have to stay at home. I never assumed they'd shut down the whole GO system! I knew union would be trouble.. but I come from the west and figured they'd just stop at the Ex. argghghgh,, I was so looking forward to this game!!

The concert at the ACC was cancelled an hour ago.....

[leafsman]

i hope someone in the media will write something about this bs to pressure them into doing so

[sulfur]

PB just said on his twitter feed at about 7pm:

Working on a statement. If you can't make the game due to disruption, we'll reach out to you next week with an offer of another game.

[Stimpy]

well if the season RPB ticket holder sold me the entire season tickets...then what?

[rocker]

I hope it's just a credit... I already have every game (season ticks plus the CONCACAF package). I don't need extra seats to another game.

[TOfan]

what moron could not see something like this occurring? This is garbage.

[Stimpy]

I agree... I already have 4 tickets in the bunker for CONCACAF...I don't need more tickets as I already have everygame with the season package. My concern is that these were purchased of a season ticket holder....

[RedMAN127]

what moron let them cancel the go service? all the trouble makers were down there, now none of them can leave ...

Due to disruptions caused by the G20 in Toronto, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE) and Toronto FC will be offering ticket holders who were unable to attend the June 26 match vs. Los Angeles Galaxy at BMO Field an opportunity to attend another Toronto FC match this season (game subject to availability).

^ ? That's weird. As a season ticket holder how does that help? I'd take a free ticket to the CSL all-star game, which I've read is to be played a BMO.

[Whoop]

Surprised at the crowd.

I was wrong. It wasn't as much of a disaster I thought. But I'm lucky I live in Toronto.

The Blue Jays play next door to the summit inside the security fence. Bit of a diff.

I had the best commute to BMO ever. I'm lucky I don't need the Go.
