    The email mentions you get a pair of complimentary tickets if you are selected in the draw.

    SSH basically have a bucket of payments that they draw from for tickets this year. Ticket prices (after this first game which is free) are drawn down from those payments - those who asked for their money back would be invoiced for the SSH price for those tickets.

    If you choose to NOT purchase any tickets, you are NOT taken off the SSH list. This is a BIG thing because some people can not come due to not being able to vaccinate (immunocompromised or children) or just not feeling comfortable.

    This also gives people who lost their jobs time to recover a bit before going back to games (do not discount this as an issue)

    In essence, the team in not punishing its fans for doing what they as people have to do to deal with covid.

    MLSE could have been hard assed about this but there would have been a complete uproar.

    This is similar to what my AM said when I made the plunge as an SSH - if you don't want to go to any specific game, you don't have to.

    Game day policies

    https://www.bmofield.com/plan-your-visit/back-in-action

    Most of this is moving to US stadium policies from pre-Covid we havn't implemented before

    The cleaning is theatre - Covid is aerosol and surfaces are not the issue

    Draw is for 1250 winners (so 2500 seats). So majority will be healthcare workers, first responders etc + how every many were allocated to supporters groups.

    Up here in Ottawa, our team's first home game with fans will be August 14th with up to 15k allowed in attendance. Just for reference sake. Looking forward to late-summer/early-fall matches under the lights at TD Place!

    Are you saying this because you have other information? Because the email does not really say that.

    The way that it says "purchase of tickets will be optional", makes it sound like we have to purchase tickets and they still hold the cash for next season.

    Is it possible for executive members of Red Patch get a complete understanding from Manning ( nobody else will do)in regard to the ticket issue.
    1;Will the remainder of the home game tickets for this season be buy only.
    2;Season ticket holders that left their money in but wish to opt out of this season are given the choice to start going next year.
    3;How come nothing is straight forward with management simple questions simple answers Yes / No

    Makes sense why a few Cincy players were scrambling to get their work permits. I’m guessing all MLS players have Canadian work permits too? In that case they wouldn’t need a federal exemption and we should be good for the rest of the year.

    If indeed this goes through, this is just for the next two games 7/17 & 7/21. The TFC press release mentioned "updated Major League Soccer regulations" for these games. The release also said that they are still negotiating with governments for the rest of the games after 7/21, and we see above that they have also applied for, but not yet received, a National Interest Exemption. So things aren't necessarily good for the rest of the year yet. My guess that the remaining hitch after the 21st will be unvaccinated players on US teams. Probably MLS OK'd excluding them for these two games for now; and/or perhaps Orlando & NYRB don't have any important unvaxed players. I bet there is more negotiating required to clarify the rest of the season. Even if the border opens more widely in late July or August, it will only be for fully vaccinated foreigners, so this will be an issue regardless. Either the Cdn governments, or MLS, will need to be flexible.

    Interesting that Vancouver has "home" games on Saturday and Tuesday as well, but is staying in Utah for those. Either they weren't ready to move yet; or one of their opponents (Galaxy or Houston) has more problems with unvaccinated players.

    EDIT has there been any word about possible unvaccinated players on the Whitecaps squad?

    Nope. Work being done on their stadium.
