SpursFlu Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Also I'm not sure anyone noticed but once the Iran game was canceled, all the tickets for Curacao that were purchased went back available because they were part of the bundle. So checking over the weekend the were almost zero tickets sold for this game Edited May 31, 2022 by SpursFlu sose, nfitz and Shway 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 With Osorio out, and limited guys capable of playing in the “10”….I hope we see David drop in behind the strikers behind the likes of Larin and Ugbo.

footballfreak Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Not opposed to playing David as a 10, but if you start all 3 strikers at once, the substitute options are slim pickings. We have enough depth at LWB/LB that Raheem Edwards is probably going to need to cover a central role to make the WC squad. Wouldn’t be surprised if 10 is where they try him rather than LWB. Cav has increasingly dropped deep and acted as a distributor this year for club, and it’s revitalized his game somewhat. I still don’t trust him to make it through 90 mins without starting a line brawl, but if we’re throwing shit out there why not give him a shot. Regarding the ticket sales, are you really surprised that the midweek game, in a niche competition, against a Dutch colony most people haven’t even heard of, with overpriced tickets, is selling poorly? Colour me shocked. Especially since most people's money is still in CSA limbo right now. Still more than a week to go. The women pulled 20,600 against Nigeria, so I would still expect the lower bowl to fill out, even if it’s in the smaller Whitecaps configuration.

I don’t know what attendance will ultimately be, but if the CMNT plays a home game, at this time, in a stadium that is mostly empty, I think the CSA will be hesitant to go out there again for a while regardless of the surrounding circumstances.

A certain amount of the total would have been allocated to each game, could just refunded the Iran portion? The Vs section for the NL game is not bad at $34 and having just looked at it a lot of tickets still available in the three sections, its obvious interest in this match is very low. This game was never going to be on fire. nfitz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) C'Mon Vancouverites make your province proud, and show out for your country. You're not a small town city! If they can show up for a CWNT friendly vs Nigeria (20K) then they definitely should sellout the bottom even if it's Curacao. "An excuse is a smokescreen for the deceived" ....I do feel like hindsight will be "we should've played this in Montreal".

Literally nobody outside of the hardcore fans even know this game is happening really. CSA is hiding with their tails between their legs after pulling the rug on 45,000+ for the Iran Debacle.

Would make sense. They'd just work around the Caps who are home to Real Salt Lake on Saturday eve. Anyone on the ground in Vancouver who can say where they are staying and training?

canucksfan Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 The cheapest general tickets ($30) for this match have now sold out (the 3 available sections directly behind the nets – 226, 227, 254). I think the only $30 left are the Voyageurs tickets and singles. Everything else is now $50+ for this game and will be a hard sell. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
