umpiredice Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 COVID TESTING UPDATE! If you haven't yet booked your Covid test for the return trip to Canada, best hold off for a couple of days. It looks like the government may be about to remove the requirement. The official announcement may come as early as this Thursday March 17. https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2022/03/16/canada-covid-border-testing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the government hates us...first Hamilton at 50% capacity the day before 100% capacity and no Cover testing the week after the Costa Rica game away. 🙂 johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is a testing centre right by the airport. You have to book an appointment in advance and show your airline ticket. The cost is $USD 65. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not very large, so none of them wanted a large group on game day without a serious premium. Alex had to search and search for this, and how we have a place that will hold 120. Should be a good pre game, and with an open bar and food well worth the money. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think EJsens1 comment about "$50 something" was referring to the price of a covid test and not pregame prices Either way, looking forward to the gathering next Thursday afternoon! If anyone is interested in finding a pre-pregame spot on Thursday to watch the UEFA WCQ Playoff games (1:45pm local kickoff), I'll be hunting down a spot when I touchdown in CR on Tuesday Admin, patstew19 and johnyb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I touch down at 11:20a so I should be able to meet up somewhere around 1:30p.

E27 is completely sold out; in fact the entire stadium is pretty much sold out. There might be the odd single in the Voyageurs forum’s ticket exchange.

JamboAl Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 All 150 tickets bought through the Voyageurs were sent Thursday night. Please check your spam if you do not see them. They would be coming from specialticket.net and not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At check out it mentioned a follow up email would arrive shortly. I Have an invoice number and card was charged but did not recieve a confirmation email. Should we just show up and assume we are on a list? or did I possibly miss something? Again thanks for all the time and effort gone into planning this. We are looking forward to it!

JamboAl Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 I am enquiring about moving the pregame to 3:30-5:30. I'm in San Jose now and it will be something to get around and our ground agent has advised that leaving around 6:30 may not be sufficient to us into the stadium. Also everyone must bring the QR code they used to enter the country and their passport as it may be asked for to get in. I will be sending out an email on this later tonight or tomorrow once I receive some confirmation about the change in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
