This is problematic. There must be a less intrusive way and and I will have no part of it. This is my favorite away trip and I will not attend if this remains their policy. Thoughts?
Montreal Away Supporter Ticket Policy
- Thread starter roxfontaine
- Start date
choose section and buy your tickets individually?
i thought it was due to whole crap that happened last season vs toronto and all the flares etc.
did anything happen when nycfc fans went there last year?
I don't know about the flares. But I hope you're not excusing ambushing fans outside the stadium and hitting women in the face with batons?
that was part of the crap that happened last regular season game between toronto vs montreal ....all i know is toronto fans threw flares and people were beaten up etc....it was a mess from what i remember reading. i dont know if something happened vs nycfc thats why i asked if you knew anything.
EDIT: i knew a couple of people who went last year but didnt mention anything....thats why i ask and no i dont think beating up casuals is good...very cosmos like actions
That is definitely a reason; probably the reason.
Nothing happened to anybody when we went up there. The fans that we encountered were great and we all took the train to the game and walked to the stadium entrance without issue. I know their ultra group can be obnoxious but we never ran into any of them.
We were even hanging out outside the stadium after the game. We were hanging out for probably 30-40 minutes after the game and never had one problem.
I've been 2 times, by the way. I went another time to watch Landon Donovan play his last game in the East.

yes. the SG purchases a bulk of tickets on members behalf and distributes to those individuals. No individual info provided apart from the responsible group leader
Thanks for circulating this. I was hoping this might be one of the away games I plan a trip around, but not sure how I feel about complying with that.
I would like to know more about why they have instituted that policy across the board instead of instituting a policy or sanction against a particular team's traveling fans if it really was that single Toronto game

I'm going to do what I did last year and buy my ticket where our away fans plan to be. I had no issues last year, just some good natured banter.
I have season tickets for IMFC and we are very welcoming to out of town supporters. My husband and I take the public transit to and from the stadium and we have never seen any situation or felt uneasy traveling after a game with supporters of both teams in same subway. Like anywhere else if you are looking for trouble you will probably find it. Very friendly family oriented. Come to Montréal and see for yourself. We have been to the Yankee stadium last summer and really enjoyed. My only wish for you is to get a better field. Hope to see you in Mtl this summer. Beautiful city!
Probably because damages were done by visiting supporters last year... (toronto) benches were burnt, etc. Flares thrown near family section... Safety is priority.
I have no horse in this race, because I don't travel to away matches, but if there was a problem with a particular visiting team last year (Toronto), then Montreal should be leveling draconian policies on Toronto and *only* Toronto. To make it an across-the-board policy for all traveling SG's is insane and dickish by Montreal's Front Office. Last year, there were problems with NYCFC traveling to Red Bull Arena, and what happened..... RB levied new draconian policies at ONLY NYCFC, no other traveling fans were affected. This is the crux of the problem that everybody is unhappy with, Montreal feels justified to lump every SG together because Montreal has a problem with Toronto (perhaps that's where the French-Canadian reference is coming from, since it's well known that French-Canada and non-French-Canada don't always feel touchy-feely with each other).
