Yep, June 7th, 2011 in at The Gold Cup in the Motor City, for those going to Costa Rica, sure it will be something similar. I am pretty sure Nashville would have been huge if all things were normal.

Havana, Cuba - 2012 If I remember correctly, at least 100 Canucks showed up (although I was sitting with friends I'm the locals section for that game). https://www.thestar.com/sports/soccer/2012/06/08/canada_grabs_crucial_win_over_cuba_in_world_cup_qualifying.html sstackho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoH037 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 These games are going to be a true grind. Costa Rica and Panama will be playing for their World Cup dreams, and I expect Herdman won't want to give anyone an inch. I'm actually quite excited to see how our boys do against the kind of adversity they are about to face, because hell you can bet that Costa Rica and Panama will invoke all the dark arts, and more, in order to try and get something from us, specially because they know that whichever of them loses against us is essentially out. I actually want our players to experience this, to see how bad things can truly get in Central America, because ultimately it'll make them a better team.

However, the condition given to us and Canada Soccer is that we need to pre-purchase any tickets we ask for and allocated. If they allocate 300 tickets, we need to make sure we can sell all 300 or we will eat the costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As people will be buying plane tickets ect... If they had given us a weeks notice, via the embassy and expat groups we could have had very large section. blueseeka and JamboAl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As things open up, I think Canada would get huge support in most parts of the US considering where this team is going with they success they are having. As I stated Nashville would have been huge, could see get over 1,000 likely more. It was Labour Day weekend in one of America's great party towns with easy flights.

prabak11 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Where can I purchase the tickets that people are saying they already purchased? and how much are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umpiredice Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Good news for travellers! The requirement to get a PCR test to return to Canada from abroad has been dropped, effective February 28. A rapid test is now sufficient for fully vaccinated people. For those going to Costa Rica, this is a huge benefit. You no longer need to book an appointment 2-3 days before you come home or buy a do-it-yourself test. There is a rapid testing facility at the airport with a three hour turnaround. (Just to be safe, I'm not cancelling my PCR appointment until just before I leave. You never know, the requirement may suddenly be put back in place.) https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2022/02/15/covid-19-border-restrictions/ johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no more tickets to be purchased in the away section. The Costa Rican federation gave us 150 (we thought it would be closer to 200) and that was it and they are all accounted for. Anyone who wants to go now will have to see if they can get one locally. Sorry but the Costa Ricans have just CONCACAF’d us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but the Costa Ricans have just CONCACAF’d us. I imagine a Ticos fan forum about trying to reduce the sea of red in the stands and limiting tickets for away supporters. Of course, there is also a lively debate about hosting games at the "National Stadium" vs hosting the matches in Liberia where there is a smaller Canadian community and where travel for Canadians would be more difficult.

No, the Scotiabank card is for access to the pre-sale. There is a regular sale after that, but they didn't tell use at what time. umpiredice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
