I read that 1400 away tickets are all sold out. If I get a ticket at any other stand will they make us move to away section due to security reason? I don't want to be in the middle of all impact fans when Giovinco scores another beauty because I know I can't control myself and celebrate like no tomorrow. Any helps and advices are appreciated and highly needed.

I would say, if you need to buy a ticket elsewhere, try to be as close to the TFC supporter sections, only if possible of course.
The last time we had a really big contingent for TFC at Olympic Stadium, I remember the entrance, plus staircases, concessions, washrooms etc. were all separated for TFC supporters, leading to the TFC sections in the stands. I don't know how they will handle it this time, nor how they will handle single supporters with tickets elsewhere.
Generally that time I found things to be very well organized at Olympic Stadium. Staff etc. were friendly and helpful. Only problems were long lines at the concessions dedicated to us. (Food was crappy as well, but I don't expect much in a stadium, and beer is beer.)
Got to remember the Big O is a dump without a full time tentant, but the staff will do just fine. Also remember the very lenient beer rules, no limits on the number you can buy at a time and they serve until the final whistle blows. I would strongly advise to eat pre-game and post game unless you absolutely have to at the stadium.

Portland, who go everywhere, last year complained about the final allotment but think of it this way - how many rave greeners would you like here? They could easily fill 3K of seats for a final.
The allotment is due to the home atmosphere being a priority.
Meanwhile in Montreal, the Impact Ultras have now sold 40 tickets to fans to come to the Toronto game. They are gauging the supporter base to see if there is enough interest to charter a second bus.
Just got off the phone with Jeremie. He said that there is a few seats left in the TFC supporter section. He is still on emails he got from Tuesday. So if u didn't email him from Tuesday and earlier, you won't get away section seats. If u emailed him on Tuesday, u might still get them, but he on has a few left. Said the supporter groups took most of them. He suggested buy the sections right above the supporter sections (451, 453, 455, 457, 459, and 461) if u hasn't bought your tickets yet. Probably expecting close to 2,000 TFC Fans he says.
Fully expecting the next release saying more than 50,000 tickets have been sold sooner rather than later. The upper deck sections on the end line have been selling quite since they were released late yesterday. Can't emphasize enough to anyone still looking to get tickets, buy whatever you can get. Regardless of where you end up it is going to be a memorable evening. It is well on its way to breaking the Canadian single game attendance record.Originally Posted by TFC1154ever;[URL="tel:1819755"

I'm watching the US v Mexico game at the moment and it's a bit of a physical affair. It is making me wonder if we should rest either, or both, Bradley and Altidore in the first leg against Montreal and play for a draw. If we can emerge from the big O on level terms it would give us a great chance at home of getting the result which would carry us into the final.
I would acknowledge that it's as a very risky decision. However Montreal have played a counter attacking game throughout the playoffs and they might find it difficult having to take the game to the opposition who have essentially parked the bus. In doing this they might well leave gaps for a fast attacker like Tostain Ricketts to exploit. I think sitting Bradley would be the greater loss of the two, but in Benoit Cheyrou we have a very experienced player who might well prove to be an adequate replacement in a one-off game.
The main reason for this suggestion is the fact both Bradley and Altidore have played 4 games in 17 days (or 5 in 20) and could well be in need of a rest to be at their best. Another consideration is that both are a caution away from missing the home leg, something which could prove disastrous.
Is this a realistic consideration, or do we go all out in the manner that's served us so well this far?
