    Default Season Opener - Vancouver March 7th

    Who's all going this year? Are we going to have our own section again like last year?

    Seatle on Labour day weekend looks pretty good for us West Coasters as well.

    Currently that is the plan. I believe our best option is to use this thread to keep track of numbers for Vancouver and another thread later for Seattle. I'm looking at 2 tickets for myself. I believe themodelcitizen will also be going with 2. Anyone else?

    Contacted Whitecaps FO and they have asked for numbers. If all those interested in going would let me know how many tickets they need I can get this sorted so we can be all together in a section. I understand that a large number of supporters so we will have fewer numbers than last year in Seattle. But, let's see if we can be just as loud.

    Edit:

    German21: Would you like me to put you on our list to ensure we are all together in the same section or will you be seated elsewhere?

    I'm working in Vancouver until May so you can count me in for a ticket to see Jozy bang them in against the Whitecaps!

    In other words, add 1 to the list.

    I'm in for a ticket. My wife can take the kids to the Aquarium for the afternoon. I've told some TFC fans out here in Victoria that The RPB would likely be putting in an order for away supporters section tickets. I can get some concrete numbers when the time comes. A 3pm kickoff is perfect for us Islanders, we can do a walk on on the ferry and head home the same day

    Had a blast last year in Seattle.

    No final date for numbers yet but the sooner the better. I'll contact Whitecaps FO and see when he needs them by.

    Heard from Whitecaps ticketing and we're apparently looking at $45 each all-in for a ticket. Seems a bit of a scam but this is apparently considered a "premium match" while last year's V-Cup was not. Not too happy but not sure what options we have. I think I'm still good for 3 in total.

    Looking for four tickets at least for this one. Some of us are coming out from Toronto; staying at the Georgian court hotel!

    Got you down! So far we are going to be approximately 20. Make sure you spread the word.

    Beauty! Looks like we'll be in 218-219.

    Haven't heard a deadline yet for numbers but get 'em in now if you can.

    Toronto visitors - you coming for a couple of days? Should meet up for a few drinks the night before (and of course pre-game)

    It'll depend on how the books are selling next month; if they're good, I'm going to see if I can get the wife to join me and fly over from Edmonton. P. cheap on WestJet.

    Not sure if people would be interested but there's Johnnie Foxes Irish Pub on Granville. I think a pub would be a better starting point than some of the restaurants that are nearby. I'll take a look around town and come up with another option as well

    From my experience you can take the water taxi from Granville Island across the bay to within earshot of BC Place.

    Looks like tickets are actually $35 for what it's worth, not sure if KidA worked his magic on the ticket rep but that's better hah!

    That is way less that what I paid to see the Timbers play Chivas. I think with the exchange it was over $60.

    With the CBA talk I am a wee bit concerned about a work stoppage, still a bit a bit of greenery during the late winter would not be bad.

    Robbo has quietly been putting together a very decent team in Vancouver that are exciting to watch; Carl is another resource TFC let go in spite of the leadership and promising coaching career ahead. MLSE may have the money but serious lack of vision. One can only hope : will it be this year ???

    I'm from Toronto (well, Ajax actually), and I am also thinking of going to Vancouver for the game, so I would be in for 1 ticket.

    So just to clarify, are tickets been bought for the group, or would they be bought individually for sections 218-219?

    I was at last year's season opener in Seattle and the match in May in Vancouver. I'll be at this season's season opener and the September game in Seattle too. Cannot wait! I was expecting for a game in Portland and was bracing for the drive but was THRILLED to a game in Seattle!

    Spe18 - I've added you to the list. As for tickets I will try to arrange it so we can all contact the rep to purchase the tickets separately. However at least if I give him numbers we can be assured our section together.

    MarkinVanCity - Mark do you want me to count you into our numbers for a ticket?
