Yeah, I am really interested in how the numbers for those in attendance will pan out. About a week ago I ran across a tweet from someone trying to stick it the fans of VWFC by saying the preseason game this Friday will have same if not better numbers of fans in comparison to the Whitecaps playoff game from last year. That really made my digital ears perk up; big claim dude, lets hope you are correct. Not sure how one can come up with those kind of numbers but more power to you.....

We were going to give this upcoming game a miss (not great timing for coming over on the ferry after work....stupid life obligations!) but we are getting kinda tempted now, especially if the numbers in the stands are over 20,000. For a preseason game for any team, that is a crazy possibility but would be fantastic!

if you look at Ticketmaster it shows very little left. were the first regular season home game still has lots left.

like I said I am new to this so there might be something I do not understand.

thanks

There was an offer for ST holders to get extra complimentary tickets for the exhibition game in the same quantities the ticket holder has on their account and in the same price category depending on availability. The email didn't give an expiry but it could be that the low availability you see is because some seats are being saved for ST holders to take them up on the offer.

Preseason games always have lots of no-shows. I got three free tickets to go with my three regular tickets and am planning to use them all. But if you want to go and can't find tickets online, just show up. Scalpers will have plenty of selection.
