A message from Section 8 Chicago Chairman, Ben Burton.

This year, we are offering an "Away Game Season Ticket" for our four closest road trips. Bus seat and match ticket included: $200.

Because of the scarcity of tickets in KC and Toronto, we're offering this plan for a limited time. We only have 100 packages to sell so right now this is the only way to guarantee a trip. Guaranteeing buses this early will help the Section and the team buy guaranteeing that the support will be there for the players. My priority is to help us support the team and I believe this plan does exactly that.

IF YOU CAN'T MAKE ALL OF THE TRIPS, it's OK. We will be issuing PHYSICAL TICKETS, like concert tickets, one for each bus trip. This means if you can't make one of the trips you can still sell your bus trip ticket and match ticket to someone else. Eventually we'll split this up into three game plans and finally individual trips but for now I want to encourage you all to buy in.

Full details, schedule, and estimated itineraries below:

07/05 - Saturday @ Columbus Crew 7:00 p.m.
07/27 - Sunday @ Kansas City Wizards 7:00 p.m.
10/05 - Sunday @ Kansas City Wizards 2:00 p.m.
10/18 - Saturday @ Toronto FC 2:30 p.m.

Yes, two of those are Sundays. I didn't make the schedule, I'm just trying to deal with it. Rough drafts of the itineraries are at the bottom of the message.

You can purchase this plan right now at our STORE. Please BUY NOW folks. Let's take this situation we have and make the most of it. If we sell out of these plans we'll be guaranteeing 8 buses to these four games and the rest will follow.

To clarify, the three trips to KC, KC and Tor will most certainly cost more than $50 each. Columbus will cost close to $50, maybe $40-$45. The $200 is a loss for Section 8 Chicago in terms of dollars but a gain in terms of our mission.

el tiger May 01, 2008	I went on a road trip to columbus last, it was so cool. We went, we were loud, we conquered. I recomend everybody taking a road trip with the team. I think this deal is so awsome, you can't beat it. I am really looking forward to go back to Ohio, and going to Toronto( scum) and at least making one Kansas (scum,scum) trip. See you on the road, DON'T STOP LIVIN IN THE RED!
Pola Henderson May 01, 2008	It's amazing to be on the road and make another stadium "our house."
El Guapo May 01, 2008	Trust me folks you DO NOT want to miss out on any of these trips. Every trip will have memories that will last for a lifetime. Don't be left out a conversation because you weren't there. This is the best time to meet other Fire fans on the trips. GET YOUR ASS ON THE BUS!!!!
