theaub Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 For some reason I swear I heard the term 'ground package' but I went back through this thread and it doesn't exist. D'oh. Plan right now is that I'd be down in Mexico City with a couple co-workers that day - would there be a way for me to just purchase tickets and then meet up with all you guys/the security detail when necessary? I guess the further question to that is, assuming a 7 PM start do you guys have any idea how the security detail works in terms of timing? I'm assuming if there is a security detail I can't just buy tickets anywhere and then sneak in with you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauder01 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Booked my flight on the recommended one out of Toronto, shoot me a message if you're also on the flight. Can we start coming up with songs for this game now? Also speaking to a compadre about good places to eat/things to do. I'll post a few here when I find out what they are - I'd be in checking out some hotspots with some other Vs. Estoy muy emocionado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will offer a "ground package" that will consist of transfer to the game, game ticket, security and transfer after the game. You would have to start with the group at the pickup point and end with the group at the hotel for security issues. Pricing on this will be released shortly. Send me an PM and I'll add you to the list. Trevor/Dontpanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Please forgive my ignorance but I went to put down a deposit and all I could see was the $75 option (which I paid). I noticed that the deposit has been raised to $150 so not sure if I need to pay more or in full which I'm happy to do, just not sure how. Can someone please advise if I need to pay in full and if so how to do that? Also would be happy to share a room if anyone is still looking for a second or third roommate. Otherwise single occupancy would be fine too assuming availability. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuscan Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Not sure if this is the most appropriate place but I'm looking to see if anyone would share a room with me at the hotel in Mexico. Please PM me if you're looking for someone to split the cost of a room with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When last in Azteca, I purchased my ticket separately from the UM 02, when I entered stadium, security let me walk to there section no problem...even though my ticket was for a differing zone. I suspect you will not have an issue being seated in the away supporters area, Security in the stadium was good and knowledgeable how to handle away supporters.. I cannot imagine it being different unless the good folks at CSA create a bad impression or do not work with the appointed match official to ensure security is properly organised for the visiting fans.

There is more to all of this though. We want people to be in a group, do the pre game / post game event together. It's a lot harder to organize this stuff if people are just showing up. We are not asking people to do the whole ground package with us, there is a game day option. The 'security' we have is really trip support on the day in all aspects. It's pre game party, bus there, game, bus back, post game party. I don't think this is putting too much of a crimp in the seasoned travelers style. We need people like you in the group, because of your experience in all these places. It makes the whole thing, and I hope for you too, better for everyone.

MrsC Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 This is probably a bit early but I am a planner so I can't help myself . For those flying out of Vancouver on that 6 am Air Canada/United flight let me know if you are interested in sharing a taxi to the airport.

Depending on where you are staying the Canada Line train works great to get to the airport in YVR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if you're even a little near the Canada Line it's not only cheaper than a cab but faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Withers Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The first Canada Line train to YVR is at 4:48. Gets you to the airport at about 5:15. It then takes around 5 minutes to walk down to check in. If you’re on a flight that departs before 7 am, you’re cutting it very fine for check in and customs clearance. With that caveat, the Canada Line is absolutely the best way to get to the airport, if it fits your schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning to take the Canada Line but when I looked at the timing I felt arriving at 5:15 is cutting it a too close for a 6 am international flight. I do have Nexus which will speed things up but I don't want to have to worry. Plus I would have to walk a couple of blocks by myself at 4:30 in the morning which isn't that appealing. So unfortunately, it looks like I will have to cab to the airport this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can split a cab four ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
