Club de Foot Montreal News Release


MONTREAL - With just five days before the opening game at Olympic Stadium against the Chicago Fire (2pm ET), the Montreal Impact announced on Monday that 2,000 tickets have been released, at a cost of $20 each, located on a provisional on-field grandstand.

"We feel that there is real buzz for this game and the demand for tickets increases," said Impact president Joey Saputo. "Therefore, we have decided to make these seats available, as we did for the game against Santos Laguna."

The addition of these seats brings the capacity of the stadium to over 58,500, which will allow the club to break the attendance record set by the Montreal Manic in 1981. Thirty years ago, the Manic beat the Chicago Sting in front of 58,542 supporters.

As of today, over 46,500 tickets have been sold for this historic game.

Season tickets are available online at impactmontreal.com or by calling 514-328-3668, while individual tickets for the home opener and all five games presented at Olympic Stadium are also available through the Admission network.

Please note that the installation of the synthetic playing surface began on Monday. The stadium will be ready to host the Impact on Thursday, at 6pm, for the club's open house at Olympic Stadium.
