JamboAl Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 We are trying to gauge how people would be willing to attend either/both away games. There is an earlier thread that talks about this a bit and people have expressed an interest while others have bought, or on the verge of, purchasing plane tickets and booking hotels. This is to find out those who are in the latter category. We need to get a sense of how many people are going so we can communicate this to Canada Soccer for the purposes of obtaining tickets from the respective federation. Please respond in this thread how many in your group will be going. For clarity, the Voyageurs is unable to organize any travel; only tickets and possibly coordinating pre-match and post-match gatherings. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I am calling a travel agent in the next couple of days (storm day today) to find out more about options, cost and travel restrictions. If that lines up it would be 4 tickets in CR, but I won’t know how likely that is until I talk to the agent. JamboAl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJsens1 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I’m very interested in going to the Costa Rica game. However, my priority is the Jamaica game. If they move the Jamaica game out west (I live in Ottawa), with work, I doubt I’ll go down south. If it’s in Toronto I hope too. Hopefully they announce that soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGAA_Star Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Definite priority for me is watching the Jamaica game at BMO Field because I'm from Toronto and trying to get tickets for that but I don't know if I should go through Ticket Master or through Canada Soccer. I mean usually for Raptors games I would go through Ticketmaster. theaub, Olympique_de_Marseille and CanadaFan123 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umpiredice Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) I already have flights, hotel, and Covid test booked for Costa Rica. I'm going solo, so just one ticket for me. FYI for those going - make sure you book an appointment for your Covid test well before you go. There are several hospitals and clinics in San Jose that do PCR tests for around $130 US and provide results in 24-48 hours. But apart from the facility at the airport, the ones I looked at were all appointment-only, no walk-ins. Best make sure you've got a test booked for the third day before you fly home, rather than risk not being able to get one and being denied boarding at the airport. Note that the facility at the airport offers both rapid tests and PCR tests and doesn't require a pre-booked appointment. To get back into Canada, you need a PCR test. The normal turnaround time at the airport for a PCR test is 24-36 hours. You can can a quick result in just 3 hours, but you have to pay something like triple the regular rate for that.

You could also buy this at-home kit RT-LAMP kit, and do is from wherever you are staying in CR as long as you have a webcam and good internet connection. Avoids having to step into any type of clinic. https://switchhealth.ca/en/partners/aeroplan/#collectionKits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rapid test is only good for entry to the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djcuse Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 For those who have booked flights already. Which day are you arriving? I'm looking at the Air Canada direct on either the Monday or Tuesday. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 I’m scheduled to land on the Sunday because I have online meetings on the Monday and Tuesday. djcuse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patstew19 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I’m in for both, just the 1 ticket for each game. I’ll probably be in San Jose or jaco about a week before the game JamboAl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Collins Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I'm arriving at 11 am on matchday, departing at 2 am back north. There is a slick Aeromexico routing ex-YVR for $700 return base far, or there was when I bought it two days ago. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand corrected. That said, the cost of that test is $199, which is about 40% more than the cost of my test in San Jose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umpiredice Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I'm arriving just before noon on March 23, flying out around noon March 26. I took the Air Canada flights from YVR through YYZ rather than the Air Mexico ones through Mexico City because the return flight on Air Mexico leaves at 2:00a. I'm staying at a little place about a ten minute walk from the stadium. I'm up for doing something the afternoon of the 24th before the match, I'm up for celebrations after the match, and I'd love to get a group together for something on the 25th. Let me know. pod818 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cblake Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 What are the current testing requiremets for going to Costa Rica? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umpiredice Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 36 minutes ago, Cblake said: What are the current testing requiremets for going to Costa Rica? The general policy is this: "Tourists who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and individuals aged 18 and younger (even if unvaccinated) can enter the country without a travel policy. The last dose of the vaccine must have been applied at least 14 days prior to arrival in Costa Rica." There's a form you have to fill out online no more than 72 hours prior to travelling.
