Free kick Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Ticketmaster still shows resale tickets up on their in site. They are still in the low of $200 and high of $600. Despite all these possibly restrictions, the prices havent moved. Edited January 11, 2022 by Free kick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Scotland has just opened up outdoor stadiums, I wonder if this will even be noted by our provincial government? https://twitter.com/edinburghpaper/status/1480911192570933248 johnyb and Club Linesman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, the main reason they are doing this is because they changed the definition of "fully vaccinated" to required 3 shots for entrance into outdoor events. 53% of Scotland's population has it, but for Canada it's only 16.56% with 3 shots. [ Ontario has 25% ]. And Canada's "fully vaccinated" definition remains at 2 doses. Read the reason for their opening up and compare with our country / province. EDIT : Not trying to be a downer, as I really want to go to this game. But Ford's actions / handling during the pandemic has been less than stellar. As a result, I tend to be more cautious these days. Edited January 11, 2022 by Jedi Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, the fairest way would that could be done would be to resell them again entirely. Does anyone know how that worked for other sports? I am assuming season ticket holders but there are no season ticket holders for Canada games. Forge season ticket holders seats are only a small amount out of a reduced crowd.

When the Raptors reduced capacity prior to full shutdown they basically randomly selected the "lucky" tickets in order to still maintain social distancing, I presume something similar would happen here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apbsmith Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 If the game is in Hamilton, fans can attend at limited capacity and Dougy Ford makes it a 3 dose entry for adults, 2 dose for kids.... I really hope ticketmaster offers a 48-72 hour cancellation window, full refund option. Instead of going by lottery system which could make the resale market quite the headache to navigate. I am assuming TM would take the easier option... lottery then let us all fend for ourselves in the resale market. There is no way the sell out stadium would all be triple vaxed ( in my opinion).

I am assuming TM would take the easier option... lottery then let us all fend for ourselves in the resale market. There is no way the sell out stadium would all be triple vaxed ( in my opinion). Like blueseeka said above, I can’t see 3 doses being implemented by then. That’s just not fair to many people who haven’t been able to get it yet due to availability or if they do get it later in the month, won’t have cleared the week for it to take full effect. Assuming the game happens at BMO in March for Jamaica, I can certainly see it being in effect then. Hopefully this wave will be a distant memory by then. As to the suggestion above that the most fair way to reissue the tickets for a lowered capacity would be to resell the tickets from scratch, the hell with that. A lottery for tickets is the most fair way by far. Full stop, I have 4 tickets. I’m expecting the worst, hoping for the best, but if we lose the tickets, so be it.

I've messaged the reporter to find out how people will be chosen for admission if the capacity limit is extended.

ShralpShralpShral Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 No. As it stands that rule ends on the 26th. So right now the official word is full capacity until the City hears differently. Hence the "all things are a go" part. It's almost definitely getting cut to 50% though. Free kick, chalms04, Shway and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s exactly how I interpreted it too. I’m sure we’ll have a better idea the weekend before the 26th of what the province is doing and where cases are. The fact kids are going back to school Monday is encouraging that there will be a decent crowd for the 30th.

Likely soccer canada as they would be the one who holds the relationships and commitments that have been made. I'm sure that they will need to balance Vs, sponsor requirements, Fifa, US Soccer etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
