Tickets will go on sale to 107ist members only on Wednesday, July 2 at 6:00pm. 

Not a member? Join before 4pm today (July 2nd) and we will email you a link to try for a ticket.

Members should have already received an email with a purchase link/password. If you are a paid-up member but have not received the email please first check your spam folder, if it's not there email us at membership@107ist.org ASAP and we'll look into it.

There are two options; one for ticket only ($23) or bus+ticket ($57).

  • Buses will be leaving Winning Way promptly at 2:00, returning immediately after the match.
  • Ticket-only distribution details are still TBD. You will receive an email closer to match day with more information.

Please note, due to Starfire configuration, this event is 21+ ONLY

YOU will be responsible for having proof of age upon arrival at Starfire. If you do not, you'll be sad and miss the match sitting on an empty bus.

Additionally, due to the size of Starfire, the Timbers Army was only allocated a scant 200 tickets. What does this mean for you? DON'T WAIT!

  • 50 Match-only tickets are available
  • 150 Match+Bus tickets are available

Sale is for members only! We will check. If you purchase a ticket and are not a current 107ist member, you will be refunded your money.

This is the first time Portland will face Seattle in the USOC since 2010. If you were there, you know you'll want to be here.

So, are you ready?

  • $23 ticket only.
  • $57 bus/ticket

Do I HAVE to be a member to buy one?

  • Yes.
  • We will offer tickets to members first and as we only have 200 tickets to this match we are expecting it to sell out very quickly.
  • Ticket purchases will be checked against our member database. If a non-member is somehow able to purchase a ticket, they will be refunded their money and suffer disapproving looks from Travel committee members.

Am I guaranteed a ticket by becoming a member?

  • No, you are NOT guaranteed a ticket.
  • You are guaranteed the chance to purchase a ticket.

Is this event all ages?

  • NO
  • Due to Starfire configuration this event is 21+ ONLY
  • YOU will be responsible for having proof of age upon arrival at Starfire. If you do not, you'll be sad and miss the match sitting on an empty bus.

Does that mean only 107ist have access to this away game, or does that mean the 107ist have first access to tickets, then tickets would be available to anyone?

  • 107ist members have first dibs.
  • IF, and only IF, they do not sell out we will offer them to non-members at a slightly higher price. However, with only being allocated 200 tickets we doubt there will be any available for non-members.

How many tickets can I buy?

  • One ticket per member.

Does my husband/wife/friend/sister/grandma/pet frog need to be a 107ist member too?

  • Yes.

What's the fastest and easiest way to purchase the tickets when they go on sale?

  • Be ready to go as soon as tickets go on sale. Create an Eventbrite account if you don't have one and be logged in.
  • We recommend lightning fast internet and an actual computer rather than smartphone.
  • If you will be taking the bus, know which bus you and your friends want to be on before you attempt to buy your ticket.
  • Don't panic if  the bus you want appears to be sold out. Give it about 10 minutes. Oftentimes, in their rush to get a ticket, people will place multiple tickets in their "basket". If those transactions are not completed in 10 or so minutes, the tickets are put back into the available inventory.

I just joined, where is my email with the link in it?

  • If you join AFTER the initial email was been sent out you will receive your email on Weds before the tickets go on sale.
  • The absolute latest you can join and still be included is 4pm on Weds July 2nd.

Are the tickets general admission or assigned seats?

  • Tickets may have a seat number printed on them. However, the section is general admission and you are free to stand anywhere within our designated area.

Will there be a ticket-only option this year?

  • Yes

If I buy a ticket on the bus, can I later switch it for the ticket-only option? (or vice versa)

  • Only in the case of a genuine personal emergency*
  • Please send an email to awaytravel@107ist.org with your request and we will do our best to accommodate it. Please do not wait until the last minute.

All my friends are on X bus, but I'm on Y bus - can I switch to be with them?

  • Only if there is an available spot on Y bus.
  • You will need to find someone on Y bus to switch with as the travel committee can not find someone for you.
  • If you do find someone to switch with, email awaytravel@107ist.org with your name, the other person's name, respective buses and contact numbers.

I can no longer attend, can I get a refund or sell my ticket to someone else?

  • Refunds only given in the case of a genuine personal emergency*
  • Tickets can only be sold to other 107ist members (unless purchase has been opened to all).
  • Email awaytravel@107ist.org with the purchaser's name, email address and contact info

I bought a "ticket only" for the Seattle away game. Where do I get the real ticket?

  • Tickets will be distributed in Seattle, exact details are still TBD. You will receive an email closer to match day with all the details on where and when.

What if I can't get to the ticket pick-up in time?

  • It is imperative that you pick up your ticket on time.
  • Due to security procedures mandated by Seattle front office and CenturyLink, we are required to enter the stadium as a group.
  • If you cannot make it in time due to a genuine emergency**, please contact awaytravel@107ist.org AS SOON AS POSSIBLE and we will leave your ticket at Will Call.
  • Please be aware that the travel committee has their hands full on match day and are not always available by email. An emergency contact number will be emailed to everyone closer to the match

What if I get to will-call and there's an error with my order?

  • Call the emergency contact number (will be emailed to everyone closer to the match)

*Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on our part.

**Staying at the bar to drink longer is NOT a true emergency.

    It is disappointing that I can’t attend this game because I always attend with my 19-year old daughter. Can someone at least explain WHY Starfire is configured in a way that this is an over age event. I can’t figure it out. Thanks. And thanks for all your effort in pulling off two trips in a week!
