Chicago Blackhawks fans

This is that sleeping giant of a city we’re always complaining about, but it’s glaringly obvious that the initial spark needed to wake them up was that arrest. Let me repeat: yes, the fight isn't over, but things are finally starting to move in the direction we've been praying for. Nothing changes overnight, and it’ll be a long road before they’re gone for good, BUT FROM HERE ON OUT, IT’S A ONE-WAY STREET where they’ll find themselves with fewer and fewer followers and nowhere left to hide. Everyone needs to realize that criminals, their cronies, and the working class aren't going to turn their backs on them until the very last second; only idiots expect that right now. We're talking about people who were literally turned into millionaires by these guys overnight. But getting back to the ticket lines: we can't just dismiss this movement. We can't write off all these people just because they haven't been standing by our side these past few years; if anything, we need to push them even harder and get the fence-sitters to step up.

You hit the nail on the head, 👍 👍
But you can bet your life that with a crowd this size, the insults won't stop, just like how things have always been at MLS games. Ideals are ideals, and our demands are our demands. Until now, people weren't even targeting the players; they were going after the owner and the front office. This marks the end of that entire era. See you all Sunday at our home, friends! 😁

Look, I’ve spent plenty of years in the stands, and honestly, even more years living my life. And man, I would love nothing more than to just go off on all these guys—the players, the Board of Directors—because they absolutely deserve it.

BUT

I don't really have any right to dictate what we chant or how we show our support.
The only people who actually own that right are the guys who’ve swallowed a massive amount of crap over the last few years—dealing with crackdowns, harassment, losing their jobs, and basically throwing their private lives away for a righteous cause.
So, I’m going to follow the lead of those organized supporter groups—those actual heroes who sacrificed everything for what they believe in.

And one more thing: there will always be 200 die-hards standing tall. Is that enough?
Not a chance. We need a crowd. And you only get a crowd if you stay positive.
No matter how "right" you think you are, being toxic isn't going to bring the masses in.

Exactly. Right now, we need numbers. Management is terrified of the crowd, but we shouldn't risk losing them just because we're feeling justified in our anger. I nearly lost my job at 42 because of the fallout from these crackdowns, and frankly, I'm pissed at half my crew who sat on their hands while I was dealing with all that repression. But now? We have to play this smart. We need to show the entire stadium and the players exactly what they were missing out on when we weren't around.

I honestly don't know if this is even possible, but a buddy just told me his friend couldn't even grab a ticket for the lower North Stand... apparently there are only 700 left for the upper tier?! And then you hear rumors that half the North Stand is still available online? What kind of nonsense is this?!

And then you hear that half of the North stands are still supposedly available online? It feels like nobody knows what's actually going on behind the scenes.

Ticketmaster always keeps a certain block of inventory exclusive to their own site, so this might just be one of those situations where the availability looks different depending on where you're looking.

Maybe try grabbing them through the official site if you're hearing that half the stands are still open.

And word is you can still buy half the north stands online... I have no idea what is going on here...

I am looking at Ticketmaster right now, and it isn't just that there are seats available in the lower north stands—it looks more like 90% of the stadium is wide open.

Go ahead and try grabbing some tickets online if you're so sure half the North Stand is actually available.

But then they only leave like 1,000 tickets up for grabs... I find it hard to believe both North Stands, which hold about 9,000 people total, are already sold out already...

It wouldn’t be the first time they pull this stunt where they claim everything is sold out, only for you to look at the venue and realize it's barely even a third full.

Charles Chase4 said:It’s not like this is the first time they pull that "sold out" stunt just to reveal the place isn't even even one-third full.

Well, that's exactly what I'm worried about... because North Side was saying it wasn't even on sale yet, right?

So, another buddy of mine over there just hit me up... says he completely messed up. He called me with the exact same info, man. But then he realized—it was only happening at one single register. Everywhere else, they’ve got plenty. I actually double-checked the website too, and there's still tons of room for the South side...

Alright, does anyone here have experience trying to grab tickets through Ticketmaster while traveling abroad? If so, shoot me a DM.

Christian Jones said:But if they only leave a maximum of 1,000 tickets available... I find it hard to believe both North stands, which make up about 9,000 seats, have already sold out.

Their whole game plan is to drive traffic to their own site and force everyone to buy through them. Honestly, it actually works in the club's favor, especially regarding the North Stand since those are the cheapest seats in the house. They know the hardcore supporter groups are coming, so they figure they might as well screw with the fans by claiming everything is sold out at the gate, then fill those seats with casual fans traveling from out of state just to dilute the atmosphere. If I were anyone else, my advice would be to start grabbing tickets online immediately if the box office is pulling this kind of nonsense. There's really no need to lose sleep over it; we've seen these kinds of PR stunts way too many times to be surprised.

Never seen this kind of energy from Newcastle United. Only 4 days until kickoff. 👏

I was just there myself, and the information seems to be spreading just as quickly. At one point, they claimed there was no longer a northern sector, but that clearly sounds like a load of nonsense given how we successfully secured the area... similarly, those lists following the Osage City incident just don't hold any water anymore, at least not in my experience.

The process is fairly straightforward—you sign up, pick your preferred seat, enter your info, select a payment method, and then just print out the e-ticket with the barcode. You show up at Yankee Stadium with that in hand, and you're in.

Grab yours online.

Exactly this...
Don't be idiots and waste your time standing in line... just go through Ticketmaster...
You can use any basic Visa debit card you have for an ATM withdrawal—no extra fees, no service charges, nothing. You'll get a PDF of your ticket, print it out, and you're done. Just make sure the barcode on the ticket is clear...

Every single time I try to pick a seat—as long as it actually shows up as available on Ticketmaster—the second I go to finalize my purchase, some notification pops up telling me the spot was already snatched up, and then it just kicks me all the way back to the start of the process. It’s absolute chaos out there, and clearly, the system isn't updating fast enough to keep up with the rush. I actually tried to just head down there in person to grab tickets, but I ended up giving up because by the time I got from my lunch break over to Yankee Stadium, there were easily two thousand people ahead of me in line, stretching almost all the way back to Pimpek.
I honestly think the South stands are going to be completely sold out by the end of the day. Oh well, I guess we still have the East side to fill up. 😁
