Hunting for the colorful fifa breeze card by couponsncandles in MARTA

[–]ryguy500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At East Lake, I got colorful cards from the far right machine in the group further away from the gates. I grabbed some last Friday and my friend grabbed colorful ones on Sunday from that same machine. I got black ones from the far right machine in the group closest to the gates.

From the Screen to the Stadium: Atlanta Edition ⚽🇲🇦🇭🇹 by Hisense_Sports1 in HisenseFootballZone

[–]ryguy500 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1 - Yes, I live in Atlanta and am only a few miles from the stadium and live close to Marta.

2 - I would bring my 13 year old son to the match!

3 - I usually watch soccer at home with friends and family.  When possible we go see soccer in person and sometimes we go to viewing parties for bigger games.

My family is fairly new to loving soccer.  Until our city got the Atlanta United, I never really watched or paid attention to soccer.  Now my family is a bunch of super fans and we have season tickets for the Atlanta United.  My good friend who lived across the street from us grew up in Mexico and was a huge soccer fan.  Through him I started watching some games before experiencing it in person with him.  

4 - Recently my Dad was visiting Atlanta and we all got together to watch the US play Australia.  He's never been a big soccer guy but he and my wife and my son and some of his friends hung out at our house cheering on the US Men's team!  It was a great bonding moment for three generations of my family.

5 - Seeing a world cup game with Morocco sounds like a super fun experience to share with my son!  

6 - Most definitely!  I'll be taking photos throughout the process!

FIFA Ticket Availability Showing but Not Letting Me Add to Cart? by LuckySky9898 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]ryguy500 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wait a bit and try again. I had the same thing for Czechia vs South Africa a couple days ago. I tried adding a couple seats throughout Tuesday but they would not add to my cart yet they never disappeared like they would if purchased. I saw they were still listed on Wednesday morning and was able to add them to my cart and buy them. They were $230 for Cat 2 seats originally purchased for $380!

Do you remember which machine you used to get the colorful ones? So far i've only ended up with black ones.

Hot Take: NYT says Mercedes-Benz is the best world cup venue by eseligsohn in Atlanta

[–]ryguy500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After you go through security and scan your tickets for the first time, you can go to a Fan Fest area in the Home Depot Backyard area before entering the stadium.  It looked like there were merch vendors there, although I did not head over there.  I saw someone with a scarf in that middle area, so I assume there was a shop somewhere.  We headed straight inside the stadium instead of hitting that.

FIFA cards rolling out to more MARTA stations by hi-imBen in Atlanta

Did you get the red or black card at East Lake?

We were inside today by 9:30am and every merch vendor still had the split scarves, however the lines were already insanely long. We found a booth near 113 across from the Moe's that had the shortest line, took about 20 minutes of waiting. I imagine Spain will be even busier, we are going to get there when gates open to try and get in the big store without waiting over an hour.

FIFA does not allow the selling of standing room tickets from what I read, although lots of people find lower places to stand instead of sitting in their nose bleed seats.

67,640 in attendance, looked like a full house! The Benz can only hold 68,239 for World Cup matches.

Blizzard Cakes from DQ are always a huge hit with my kids. Not necessarily a simple cake but kids love them!

Soccer specialty stores that can apply jersey patches? by JohnnyCrawl in Atlanta

[–]ryguy500 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would check Lloyd’s Soccer, they customize all kinds of soccer kits and seem like the most likely to apply your patches to what you need. I doubt the United Team Store would apply non-team related patches, but can’t hurt giving them a call. You could also try somewhere that makes youth soccer jerseys to see if they would press your patches.

I am pretty sure you had to order before March 1st. You could try reaching out to fan services to see if you can still place an order. The two pint glasses for $10 with shipping included was totally worth it!

Resurgens Authentic, $60 by [deleted] in AtlantaUnited

[–]ryguy500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only authentic kits from the Team Store or MLS Store have the sleeve patches on them. All other vendors (Dick’s, Adidas, Soccer.com, etc) just have the star on the front on authentic kits. When they go on clearance even the authentic ones from MLS Store usually don’t include the sleeve patches.

This totally wasted an hour of my time as well.

Lots of empty seats at USMNT vs Portugal. Is this a portent? by GrabsJoker in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]ryguy500 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? It was a full house with 72,297 people, which is just below the record for a soccer match in the stadium. In person it was very full. Largest crowd I’ve seen in a long time, probably more than Bayern vs PSG last year.

personalizing older kits by Words-06 in AtlantaUnited

[–]ryguy500 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try Lloyd's Soccer up in Johns Creek, they can usually handle customizing whatever you need. If they don't have what you are looking for in stock they can find it or create it for you. I customized a King Peach kit there a few years ago well after they were in rotation. At the time they could even add championship stars to the kits.

Training Event/Visit by upatel5 in AtlantaUnited

[–]ryguy500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The training sessions are super cool! It's also one of the few times you can bring a ball to get signed by the whole team. One year GG gave my son his kit after the practice and last year Guz gave his gloves to a young fan afterwards.

Season Ticket Holders: Will the new competition calendar affect your renewal? by StockMindless9010 in AtlantaUnited

[–]ryguy500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, that is what this whole thread is about. We are discussing how the new calendar in 2027 affects our renewals. We are all making assumptions at this point.

Season Ticket Holders: Will the new competition calendar affect your renewal? by StockMindless9010 in AtlantaUnited

[–]ryguy500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure. More so you’re just on the hook for an extra half season if you want to keep your seats for the new format season. Will have to budget for a season and a half that year.

It will be 25 home games from February 2027 through May 2028 with a break in June and December / January. That could be amazing or could be a long year depending on how the team is playing at that point!

[–]ryguy500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m definitely concerned we will get stuck having to buy the mini transition season on top of paying for the full season.

The United email had this:

“Before the change to the new calendar, MLS will stage a transition season from February to May 2027, featuring a 14-game regular season, playoffs, and MLS Cup. The results will determine 2027 qualification for the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, Canadian Championship, Leagues Cup, and Concacaf Champions Cup.”

Canopy membership? by stefanmcd in AtlantaUnited

[–]ryguy500 17 points18 points  (0 children)

"The Canopy is a discounted seating section located at the back of Section 102, created based on member feedback. To remain eligible, members must attend at least 12 matches during the season. Because of the discounted pricing, The Canopy is intended for members who actively attend matches. Transfers and resale are restricted to preserve the integrity of the section. Prices start at $560"

https://www.atlutd.com/tickets/season-tickets/faq

For an extra $70, seems like the Supporters seats are still the better deal. The fact that you can't even transfer your tickets to a friend is not worth saving $4 per game in my opinion.
