Admin Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Ok so I have ticket pricing for our sections. Our cost will be $16 + PP fees = approx $16.90 for a single ticket. Add in the cost of Envelopes, labels, price of money orders, postage.... these tickets are getting rounded up to $20 The Voyageurs should 'make' money on each ticket sale, unlike the last round of WCQ where in order to make it $20 we were losing money on small orders, which was made up for by larger ones. Ticket Price $16.90 Approximately $1.25/order based on: Propaganda $0.30 Postage $0.63 Envelope $0.04 Labels $0.15 Our cost is approximately $18 per ticket, given that it will go down slightly when multiple tickets are in a single order. We have the whole south end booked. There will be considerably less babysitting this time round. If your pay pal address is wrong, you are paying for the missing tickets.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 .... these tickets are getting rounded up to $20 Makes sense. Reasonable price me thinks. $20 also lets you deal with cash easily. Ticketmaster's go on sale on March 22nd, so I guess you'll have the Paypal up by then?

baulderdash77 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Will you sell them before March 22nd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Will you sell them before March 22nd? No, I don't think that would be cool with our ticketing overlords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcm144 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 awesome, always value in the south end. Looking foward to this, spread the word and lets sell this game out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 http://www.canadasoccer.com/canada-wnt-v-usa-the-rematch-p153468&language=en I really like how the CSA linked to our website + added: "In these sections, persistent standing will be permitted throughout the match, as well as use of pre-approved flags, banners and drums. Fans who choose to purchase tickets in these sections should understand that their view may be obstructed during the match." The truth, but a little bit of a negative spin on things. Jamie, you should ask the CSA to add (for this time or next time) two things: 1) All are welcome to join the Canadian Soccer Supporter Groups section (so it is clear to other fans that we're an inclusive group looking to grow) 2) Those wishing to sit in the Supporter Groups section will be strongly encouraged to join in coordinated songs and chants to support the team.

Primavera Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 This is looking to be great value. Thanks for putting this together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primavera Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I'm also wondering if there will be a "family" supporters section? I'm arranging a group of friends who are bringing their kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 I'm also wondering if there will be a "family" supporters section? I'm arranging a group of friends who are bringing their kids. Not sure. This game is different, and I may need to re think things a bit. Getting a lot of interest like this and I am not sure if we just stick to our guns and be who we are as hardcore supporters or if this is an opportunity for broader support. The family sections last time were a total disaster, but that was because the upper deck didn't get opened up and replacement tickets didn't come until the week before the games Ticket sales will be up for 112 & 113 & 114 tonight. We'll see how those go initially. Might make a generic family section and generic supporters section and see which one wins out. Survival of the supporters. So perhaps 116 turns into family supporters section, if such a term even exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfitz Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 So perhaps 116 turns into family supporters section, if such a term even exists.There's two aspects to the family aspect. One is simply being able to see the pitch for a small child ... or last season for the pregnant wife who couldn't stand for ever. The second is that some seem to be more concerned about what their precious darlings might hear ... I'll bite my tongue on that one (BTW, if anyone sees me in 113/114 or anywhere with a child, please don't think about censoring yourself ... ). I could see that you might not really want to cater to either group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see that you might not really want to cater to either group! The last couple of games, last one in particular we were trying to be all things to all people. So, I stated we would concentrate on the supporters section. However, this is different. Men's & women's games are different the average age will be way lower. Not going to do a family section, at least not yet. There is the whole east stand for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmaGonnaWeen Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Because of the Family section debacle for the CanMNT vs USA game last year, I was hoping to get the family groups that I;ve got interested in this game down in the south end this time. I was thinking that sections 117 and 118 would be less rowdy than the eastern sections of the south end. Those of you who we're in 117 and 118, could you gauge the section for me for young ones (4 or 5 yrs olds)? AS Jamie suggested, I may just get tics for them in the east end.

Primavera Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 There doesn't seem to be much of an appetite for a Family section (Fair enough - I wasn't interested in a Family section last year and it sounds like it was a serious pain-in-the-ass for you.) ImmaGonnaWeen - I have a group of 26 people. Fire me a PM if you're interested in joining a group purchase in the East end through CSA and saving some money send me a PM straight away. Jamie - if you feel my offer is detrimental to the Voyageurs cause please delete this posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll put you all together. I'll put a button up for it this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably will need to be days. 118 & 117 already sold out. All ticket sales suspended until I sort this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Shaman Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Probably will need to be days. 118 & 117 already sold out. All ticket sales suspended until I sort this out. So one month to go until the game and 5 weeks since this post. Is anything / everything sorted out yet?? I have my plane tickets, my hotel reservation, a PayPal receipt for tickets but, lo and behold, no tickets in my hand and no updates on the V's board. Kind of thought the tickets would be here before this. What is the hold up on this?? If Jamie is ill or otherwise unable to take care of this, who is the backup or what is the backup plan? Someone, anyone with information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edthesock Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Yup. It's understandable that there's a delay due to poor health, but if he's that sick (and I certainly hope he isn't), maybe someone else needs to take care of the tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
