RS Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I apologize in advance if anyone has already discussed the updates in respect to a bus from Toronto, but could someone please provide the latest news on this front? My attendance hinges on it happening and certainly want to attend! There's really nothing to update on it other than to say that al on the bus would need to procure a ticket to the match on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 We are over 100 now. Hopefully they will give us some more time... I don't know why they wouldn't I doubt they need those tickets to sell right now and if they take them away fence sitters are going to buy in different sections and that could be a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Laurie Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I just bought one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 WOOOOOOOOOOO I GOT THE TIME OFF!!!!!!! Blasted firewall at work won't allow me to access the PayPal ticket purchaser on the CSN front page. I will take 4 tix please - rounding up at least a few people from Saskatchewan. Plus if it helps us secure the section then all the better. How can I purchase the tix if not via the PayPal widget? What is the status of our section? Are we close to 200 yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sébastien Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Got two tickets. Not sure if I will be able to attend, but at least it helps out the section. Anyone here from Windsor? Maybe we should try, closer to game-date when we know if people are going or not, if we can give-off extra tickets to some kind of kids-soccer club or something of the sort.

RS Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Bus payment info coming later today. The bus will leave BMO Field at noon, make pickups in Oakville/Mississauga and Hamilton, then straight on to Detroit. After the game, the bus will leave Ford Field around 10:30-10:45 and head back towards Toronto, dropping off at the pickup points along the way.

RS Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 BTW, the new price of the bus is $35 per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Rudi or Jamie, If we can't use the PayPal widget, how else can we set up getting tix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Rudi or Jamie, If we can't use the PayPal widget, how else can we set up getting tix? I'm curious. Why can't you use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Sorry, went away for the weekend with family. Assuming you mean the last sentence - I actually had friends/colleagues calling me about the game/tickets rather than the other (usual) way around.

Tuscan Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Our firewall at work wasn't allowing it to load up properly, but the one on the forum front page was working fine, so I've bought myself 4 tix. jojoflow (Jordan) will probably be coming, possibly his brother, and possibly my bro. Trying to convince some more people to come, the fact it's against the US and so close to Toronto seems to have people more excited than usual - there is the expectation that Toronto is going to send a decent number of people down and that our section is going to be large and raucous. Let's hope that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope that's the case. It's shaping up that way. Several clubs and district associations will be putting the word out over the next couple of days. See what the response is.

Tuscan Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hmm, on first thought it would be cool to have all those youth and adult players sitting near us, but on second thought when we score and a "Can you hear..." chant breaks out it might not be good publicity for us to the kids lol. Out of curiosity, what's stopping us from approaching the districts and offering our ticket deal to adult players? Of course it would have to come with the expectation that you'd be willing to stand and sing with us, but if it increases our numbers, it mightn't be a bad idea. Is Trillium going to set up another bus load for this game? It was suprisingly awesome to see a bus load of people wearing Vs shirts show up for us vs. Honduras in Montreal.

Trillium has already promised us poutine again. What more can we ask of him. But seriously, that would be good. Can we think of any other untapped markets? I'm half temted to hand out flyers before raptor/leaf games on a lead up, If a promo crew could be arranged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have permission to put up flyers in a couple of indoor facilities. Putting those together now. Perhaps some volunteers in the GTA could print and deliver some flyers/posters to locations around the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamiltonfan Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Upon filling this section, would it be possible to secure an addition block of a hundred? Wouldnt have to be close..a cross section chant would be killer! I don't see the game selling out either so it should be to difficult, especially if the section is in the upper deck.

We won't fill the section. 118 in ford field is 42 rows deep and 25 seats across. Just to put it in perspective. But it's an interesting question that if we get a certain amount of rows filled, do we take another section? My thinking is that Fortyork and socceronly had to work pretty hard even to score this one, so it's probably best if we all stay in one spot. Especially for Tifos & Banners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 A cross section chant would be killer... are we going to be able to hang banners over the ledge? Im picturing our end just being Canadian banners and flags draped over the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
