matthew Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Nicely done Tyler. Hopefully this will start a trend of us being granted sections and increased communication between the CSA and ourselves so we can better meet each other's needs as far as seating goes. Well done. cheers, matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Just to reiterate what Free Kick mentioned on the other board - Miami in 2002 & St. Gallen in 2002 have also seen Voyageur contingents travel down for Canada matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingston would be great as it is close, what are the other possibilities? Commonwealth? It's official - Richardson Stadium in Kingston it is. http://www.canadasoccer.com/eng/media/viewArtical.asp?Press_ID=1576 According to the Queen's Golden Gaels website, the east stand is general admission and the west stand is assigned seating. http://www.goldengaels.com/tickets.html Do we still need the proposal in light of this? Can't each of us just buy a GA ticket and then create a Voyageurs section on the day (like we did in Foxboro)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Agreed - the general admission tickets are probably the best best, and we won't have the problem of being behind the goal either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungey Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 But there's so much momentum going for organising a Canadian fan section with the CSA, not just for this game but future games, I say follow through on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varsity Tyler Posted January 10, 2004 Author Share Posted January 10, 2004 This makes it much easier. So long as the one side is general admission then we're set to go. We just have to show up in numbers to create one massive supporter's section. I'll drop a line to this Montreal bus guy. I'll alert him to our presense, as some of the people on the bus maybe interested in sitting with us. I suppose the proposal isn't needed then. Oh well.

Gian-Luca Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 It might be worth double checking with the CSA about the General Admission thing, since the information about the General Admission is coming from the Queen's site rather than the CSA's. Just like somebody might want to contact the CSA about the Kappos thing since nobody from the CSA has mentioned it yet officially, but that's for another thread I guess.

KMB Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 My first post on these forums, so bear with me. I'm glad to see so much support for the Canadain team. I had no idea such a group existed, I just kind of stumbled upon this site by accident. I for one will surly be at the game. I just have one question. How many people does the stadium hold, and do you guys think that it will be sold out? And I'm sure I can get a few people from London to join your cheering section. Beers all around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I've read that Richardson seats anywhere between 10,000 and 12,000. I think it will be very close to being full. I hope so anyway. What did the women get at Richardson? Welcome KMB! cheers, matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there are no stands behind the goals, the CSA may put them in if you guys want to be there. As the GA will be made up of kids and their parents beer drinking may be a problem. I don't think they will be selling beer so it's BYOB. Another idea is you could have a tailgate party as the stadium has lots of green space and parking. The Women's game was sold out for an exibition game. I think a WCQ will generate more demand so extra space behind the goal may be just what is needed for the Voyageurs.

This is a good point - we shouldn't assume that the east stand will be general admission for this match just because it is so for the Queen's matches. Another thing that just occured to me - the CSA press release only mentions "group tickets" being sold for the east stand. If they will not sell to individuals, or if there is a certain minimum number you have to buy, then this may preclude some Voyageurs from getting tickets in this section. We should probably get these questions cleared up before shelving the proposal. Is there anyone in the Kingston area who will volunteer to phone the SOSA on Monday? If not, I'll do it (although it's long distance for me.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torontosupport Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Whoa! Here's what happens when you go on holiday and drop off the scene for a bit. I knew the game was coming, but not that it was confirmed and only 3 hours drive from my home. Great stuff! I'm so in. Torontonianites: Would a bus be a good idea? Is anyone thinking of staying overnight (necessary if there's beer involved while carpooling)? As soon as the ticket issues get resovled, we can make a skeleton plan. I wouldn't want to leave this one until the last minute as I'm sure many non-Voyageurs/non-Ultras will be interested. Plus, I can get us loads of cheap beer.

Gian-Luca Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Re: a Toronto bus, apparently "Mtl fan" is setting something up. I plan to drive myself & can fit perhaps 4 others in the car (since it will be a day trip). But my car may be filled with family members & friends who never post on this site but are still fans. There may be other cars making the trip from people that I know in my area who are interested but not Voyageurs, nor Ultras, so a bus may indeed be a good idea, even if I am unlikely to partake in it.

Marc Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Yeah, if we can just buy a batch of General Admission tickets lets go for that, and save the proposal for a future game where GA isn't available...save us the time and organization for another more needed time. Since the game is a Sunday (if I recall correctly) then I'm not up for staying overnight myself. I'd more than likely drive there (carpool anyone?) though if all the TO peopel took the bus I'd join.

Varsity Tyler Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 Update: I called the SOSA and got the needed information about ticketing. The east stand is general admission. This is where the Voyageurs will be located, and there are two ways that you will be able to buy tickets: 1. To buy direct from the SOSA involves sending a certified cheque or a money order. The cost remains $8.00, but there is the added cost and inconvenience of procuring the method of payment. Also, the cost to the SOSA goes up because distribution needs to be handled. 2. The alternative to #1 is to send me a personal cheque for approximately $8 per ticket plus an additional $0.50 per order. The two-quarter add on is to cover postage. Upon receiving your cheque I can cash it and put your funds into a 'group buy' account. At a deadline I'll buy the group's tickets and then distribute them through mail across the country. If you don't like the idea of an individual (me) handling your money then use option one. Recognize that this has slight inconveniences associated with it. Otherwise, I'm willing to do all of the leg work to save the Voyageurs and the SOSA a bit of time and energy. P.S. Those from the Kingston can simply drop into the SOSA offices and pay for their ticket in cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
