Gopherbashi Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Considering that they're calling for 15-20mm of rain & thunderstorms on Saturday, I think CBC's going to be showing two hours of weather delay this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red card Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Aside from not having a lot of people in the stands and the so-so play on the pitch, the stadium looked all right on tv. It had the look of an Eastern European stadium with the track. It made the stadium look larger than it is and much larger than when I was watching it for the Pan Am games. Pitch looked fine and better than NYCFC narrow pitch. The people that were there came sounded good on the stream. First time in the CPL for hearing trumpets.

I'm hopeful it won't be as bad as we fear - radar seems to show most of the rain clearing out by noon, but who knows what pops up after that.

Ruffian Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 What is the going price for tickets today? Thinking of bringing my young son to his first soccer game but don't want to spend a lot since he won't really sit for the whole game so we will likely just be taking in the sights.

You can get decent seats for under $35 https://www1.ticketmaster.ca/york9-fc-vs-forge-fc/event/10005674C72A4363 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's cheaper than $35 still available for this week's TFC match! Lots of pairs for that listed at $19 and $20 including all fees and taxes. Looking at the forecast for a 4pm kickoff - 21C and no chance of precipitation - chance of showers after 6pm. So no weather excuses!

narduch Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I've seen a hand full of singles on Kijiji for $20. I agree they need to be aware of TFC's ticket situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfitz Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Looks like Ticketmaster has York9 General admission tickets for $27 (including taxes and fees). Beyond that, there seems to be a single resale ticket at $22 - presumably season-holder resales would be low for the opener. Seems to me that they should be pricing lower ... bring both kids and it's $81! Should be $45 surely in a half-empty stadium for cheapest.
