Tickets to the game in Rochester versus Canada will range in price from $18 to $150. You do get to keep your US Soccer camp chair for the $150, so it's got to be worth it, right?
The really interesting thing is that on the seating diagram, sections 101, 102, and 114 through 132 are listed as "Unavailable".
I wonder what that means?
Personally, I think US Soccer has once again overpriced the tickets for the USWNT here. And it will be interesting to see how well not only the game here draws, but also the game in Charleston a few days later on the 22nd.
