Tickets for Real Salt Lake v. Tigres Now Available to the General Public

February 1, 2016 - Major League Soccer (MLS)
Real Salt Lake News Release


SANDY, Utah - General public availability commences at 10:00 a.m. MT TODAY for tickets to the club's Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal leg two against Tigres UANL on Wednesday, March 2 (8:00 p.m. MT kickoff). Visit RSL.com or call 801.727.2700 to access seats, starting at $30 and up, depending on location, in the heavily-anticipated matchup.

The first leg against reigning Mexican champions Tigres UANL will take place in Monterrey, Mexico, at Estadio Universitario on Wednesday, February 24, with a 6:00 p.m. MT kickoff, prior to Rio Tinto Stadium hosting the second leg a week later. After dropping the 2010/11 SCCL Final 2-3 on aggregate to Monterrey - Tigres' chief rival - RSL looks to take the next step toward becoming the first Major League Soccer Team to win CONCACAF Champions League under its current format.

Four MLS clubs remain among the eight quarterfinal teams, including Real Salt Lake, Seattle Sounders FC, D.C. United and the LA Galaxy.  The four opponents are all from Mexico's Liga MX - Tigres, Club America, Santos Laguna and Queretaro.

Real Salt Lake advanced to the Quarterfinal Round with a 3-0-1 record in the Group Stage, played between August and October last year.  That landed the Claret-and-Cobalt the No. 3 seed among the eight quarterfinalists and home-field advantage in the second leg of the aggregate-goal series.

If RSL advances to the semifinal round - to be played March 15-17 and April 5-7 - it will meet the winner of the series between D.C. United and Queretaro.  The final will be held in the last two weeks of April.

This is Real Salt Lake's second time reaching the Quarterfinal Round.  In 2010/11, RSL advanced past the Columbus Crew and Saprissa before falling to Monterrey in the final, becoming the first MLS club to reach the championship series.
