marauder01 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 So unbelievably excited for Hamilton to get a game!! 7pm start may be a little tight to hit a bar before hand, there are no good bars big enough near the stadium. A ton of parking across the street, tailgating may be a possibility. I'm hoping a ton of Toronto V's make the trip down the 401 for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baulderdash77 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 This thing is going to sell out and it's going to be the first soccer game at THF so it will be a good preview for what's to come. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hammer- Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Holy crap! Where the heck did this come from! Awesome! http://www.tsn.ca/canada-gets-wc-test-vs-england-in-hamilton-1.233267 So unbelievably excited for Hamilton to get a game!! 7pm start may be a little tight to hit a bar before hand, there are no good bars big enough near the stadium.

You are sadly correct, the bars around the stadium are more then a little divey. The best bar nearby would be the Boston Pizza over in Centre Mall at Ottawa and Barton, but that's about 2.5 city blocks away, although there is plenty of parking there. If you want to drink Hess Village or Augusta St. are your best options IMO. Both are a quick walk down to Main St. and the King St. bus takes you within a block of the stadium. Just get off at Melrose or Balsam. If you are looking to eat, can't go wrong with these places. http://www.foodnetwork.ca/shows/you-gotta-eat-here/locations/?page=1&location=Ontario Although I think Chuck's is in a fight with their Landlord. For your generic chain restaurants (Kelsey's, Buffalo Wild Wing, Lonestar..etc) Centennial Parkway is the place to go, although the Ancaster Meadowlands (on the other side of the city) and Upper James St between Rymal and Stone Church also are loaded with them. I really hope they managed to get the Ti-Cats flag on loan for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 1. We have the beer garden booked. It's something different, let's try it. 2. I have a pre game location, if we do buses. 3. Maybe we can do some kind of Go Train + Bus combo from Aldershot to skip the traffic. We have some time to think about it. Toured the stadium today, it's really nice.

Maybe we can do some kind of Go Train + Bus combo from Aldershot to skip the traffic. We have some time to think about it. Toured the stadium today, it's really nice. Having made the trip to TO many a time, your standard day pass will get you to Aldershot on the train, and from there it buses to the Hamilton GO Centre on Hunter St. Eventually the Liuna station GO is going to bypass the need for this bus, but for now that's the route. As far as busing to the Stadium, the King, Barton and Cannon buses will take you to the Stadium area. Just get off at Melrose or Balsam and I believe they run into the GO station most hours of the day, but not late at night. Thankfully we live in the days of the interwebs. http://www.hamilton.ca/CityServices/Transit/CurrentSchedules The Hunter St. GO Station is also very close to Augusta St. that has about 8 pubs with patios along it. Let me know if you have any questions about Hamilton and it's Geography. I'll be happy to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 England is a good choice for a final sound check. Should be a different game when both teams have everyone in the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For less we can have a comfy coach bus go to the pre game party and deposit people directly at the stadium. If we win take them home, we don't, it's their fault and they have to walk.

Would this bus be going from Toronto to the pub and then the game and back? If that's the case I would be in for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Hammer- Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Just a heads up, as a Ti-Cats season ticket holder, I just got an email for a ticket pre-sale, so hopefully some Ti-Cat fans make it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 So glad to see Hamilton get a first-rate game like this. The more cities, the merrier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindspinner Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I found this game today and it reminded me of the awesome guys I met at the soccer conference this weekend. Thanks for coming and for chatting with me. I've been to a few games in the past and a couple in the supporters section, but it's been a long while. I think this game will be my return!!

Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hope this will be on tv in England. Really interested to see what the new stadium looks like for football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hammer- Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Looking at the ticket map, it appears almost 5 sections are sold out, although large boxes of the second level are greyed out, likely indicating banners over some of the seating. A picture is worth a 1,000 words though. Should be a pretty packed place as this is the current ticketmaster map before general sale has been opened up.

Heepster Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 ... although large boxes of the second level are greyed out, likely indicating banners over some of the seating...I don't know if they'll have tarps over some sections, but you are correct in assuming that just because they show some seats unavailable for sale does not necessarily mean they have already been sold. If you try to buy tickets for the July Gold Cup game at BMO Field, you can't get anything in the upper (200) level. Even though the seating map shows prices for them, they're not selling them and likely won't until if or when they know the lower part of the stadium will be mostly filled. They've done it that way for most Canada matches there. I just wish they would point this out from the beginning, although I suppose it's preferable to what's happened to me twice, having bought a ticket in the upper level and then when arriving being told they're not letting anyone sit there and then getting directed to a less optimal section. It happened at a Canada friendly at BMO, and the TFC/SKC game at Rogers Centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanneMac Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Any word on when/How to get tickets in the V's section yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi Oakey Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Would like to know this too. Should we just purchase tickets from CanSoc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hammer- Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 So as of this morning, apart from the corner seats behind the pitch, practically the entire lower bowl of THF is sold out apart from 25 stand alone seats. http://www.ticketmaster.ca/event/10004E732412A352 I'd estimate we probably have ticket sales around the 14,000 mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Hammer- Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 There is one slight issue, and I sincerely hope it doesn't effect the game. That said, with that many tickets sold, I have little doubt they are going to get a temp occupancy permit if it becomes an issue. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/news/10-months-overdue-hamilton-s-pan-am-games-stadium-still-isn-t-ready-1.3027056 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
