Founders Cup II Tickets to Go on Sale
Published on July 8, 2002 under Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA) News Release
ATLANTA (Monday, July 8, 2002) - Tickets for Founders Cup II, the WUSA's Championship game, will go on sale to the general public on July 10 at 10:00 am ET, Founders Cup Executive Director Bill Knight announced today. Soccer fans can purchase tickets by calling Ticketmaster outlets at (404) 249-6400 or (800) 326-4000. For group tickets, call (877) SOCCER-1. The WUSA's Championship match will take place on Saturday, August 24 at 4:00 p.m. ET at Herndon Stadium in Atlanta, home of the WUSA's Atlanta Beat.
Individual ticket prices for Founders Cup II are $40, $30 and $15 for Category 1, Category 2 and Category 3 seating, respectively. Following the private sale of tickets to WUSA season ticket holders and other select members of the soccer community, limited seating remains in many of the categories. Fans are encouraged to act quickly to secure their favorite seats.
Seven WUSA clubs will look to unseat the defending champion San Jose CyberRays and bring home the Founders Cup in 2002. The top four teams in the WUSA will advance to the 2002 playoffs for a chance to be crowned WUSA Champion. Founders Cup II will be broadcast live nationally on PAX TV to more than 90 million households in the United States and several other countries worldwide.
Currently, Philadelphia and Carolina are tied for first in the WUSA standings. Mia Hamm and the Washington Freedom sit alone in third place, while the hometown Atlanta Beat - the 2001 WUSA regular season champions - holds down the fourth position. Although the defending champion CyberRays are currently one point out of a playoff position in the fifth spot, look for Brandi Chastain and company to make a strong run at bringing home a second Founders Cup trophy.
