There were 2 people working the ticket window at the south end of the stadium (out of 8 or 10 windows), and both were dealing with people trying to do something really complicated, evidently. The line just kept getting longer and longer, and calling for help did not appear to be an option. Finally a third person showed up after 20 or 30 minutes.

The St. Loius game in May was fine, and I got my ticket to the championship ahead of time. But with too few people, a situation can turn ugly in a hurry if a transaction is difficult.; ▶ Reply to This

One other odd thing: The Galaxy are already asking their season ticket holders to buy for next year at the current price. However, I called the Sol (well, I talked to a rep from AEG, which owns the Sol, the Galaxy, the HDC, and a bunch of other stuff). He said he thought season tickets for the Sol would go on sale "around January or February". Isn't that kind of late?; ▶ Reply to This

We ordered too late for delivery one game, and had to use the Will-Call. That was very easy and we used that for the rest of the season. I only had to deal with the ticket window once and I was done in like 10 minutes because there was a huge group of people in front of me, otherwise it would have been almost no wait. The few times we've had to call for tickets/questions they have responded within 24 hours.; ▶ Reply to This

St Louis was a sweet venue and only $7. I really liked that.....; ▶ Reply to This

You could get season tickets for the same area of the stadium for $105, so it's a much better deal, If you were planning on getting to at least a few games. Parking the HDC was $15 - a rip, but that's AEG's policy, not WPS'.; ▶ Reply to This
