What's the reputational impact to the V's w/ CSA? Out of curiosity, what does happen in these situations? How does this all work, does the Voyageur leadership just ask for a certain block of reserved tickets and the CSA decides if they think that's realistic? I'd imagine they'd want the biggest Voyageur section possible, no? Jedi Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine they'd want the biggest Voyageur section possible, no? With some planning ahead of time, I really do not see an issue with taking on such a big allotment. As it has been said there are over 1,000 members in the GTA, Southern Ontario. There is no way the situation we saw in Ottawa happens again in this game, where 500 tickets were allocated and only bout 30 were sold through the Vs before it was opened up to the general public. Tickets will move, you just have to be strategic about it to make sure a lot do not end up on stub hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apbsmith Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) I can get a bunch of guys from my men's team in Sault Ste. Marie, plus guys from other teams for a road trip. Then from my former men's team in Niagara , family and friends. 20+ tickets for me for this bad boy at $50, no problem whatsoever. Could prolly double the total tickets. This is going to be insane. I'm so pumped. Edited November 26, 2021 by apbsmith Jedi Ram, Admin, baulderdash77 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask people to go, they will go. Try it. Telling my old friends from Southern Ontario about tickets ... Telling them "probably around $50". The response is " that's it? ". The hype is real everyone.

Yes, but what we get is still up in the air. Shouldn't be, but it is. It is an understandable concern on their part. If we take another section, it becomes difficult for people the section over to see the field. That is why we need people to step up and actively bring people if we can secure all the sections.

rvmoore95 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 My initial thought for this match was to keep my group small since it’s a smaller stadium but if we’re getting a huge V’s allotment I’ll put it out to the whole crew again… had 16 for the Panama match. Can’t wait either way! apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to know because I could probably get more people out for a 4pm start v 8pm on a Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were a betting man, I'd split the difference and guess 6 pm. king1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 If it is early, it's a day trip for US fans. As it stands, they will eat tickets like a buffet given the prices they pay down there. This game has some impediments though. January 30th, current Vaccine/testing border rules ect....

CofR Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I voted for 2+ as it is just my buddy and I flying in from Calgary, but I’ll certainly try and convince my friends that live in the GTA to come out as well so I will hopefully end up getting more.

For the amount the CSA is promoting the Voyageurs and Sea of Red etc etc this is weird that it’s a concern. Don’t want too many patriotic passionate fans urging the team on to victory blocking anyone’s view who is also able to stand up do their part and cheer. vancanman and gator 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a fair concern in the sense that if you're selling tickets (especially premium ones) and not disclosing that some of the field will be blocked its not fair to anyone involved. Don't need the soccer Karens spending the game reaming out some poor underpaid usher about it. But there is an easy solution to all of that! So we'll see.
