CARSON, CA - Los Angeles Galaxy individual game tickets for the 2005 season will go on sale this Saturday, February 26 at 10:00 am, the club announced today. Fans who have yet to purchase tickets for the Galaxy's tenth season celebration at The Home Depot Center will now have the chance to buy tickets for all of the club's 16 regular season matches.
"We are especially pleased with our slate of games at The Home Depot Center for the 2005 campaign," said Los Angeles Galaxy President and General Manager Doug Hamilton. "Our fans will have plenty of exciting games to watch when they come out and join the Galaxy for our tenth season celebration."
Among the many highlights on the Galaxy's home calendar are back-to-back matches against 2005 MLS expansion teams Real Salt Lake and Chivas USA on April 9 and 23 (the Galaxy will have a bye on the 16th). Additionally, the club will play host to a bevy of marquee match-ups, including a date with defending MLS Cup Champions D.C. United on Saturday, July 23.
Overall, the home schedule features fourteen weekend dates (eleven Saturdays and three Sundays). The two remaining home games will be played on Monday (one game - the annual Fourth of July Extravaganza against the New England Revolution) and Wednesday (one game). The club's longest extended stay at The Home Depot Center will bridge the months of April and May, with four consecutive home games to be played in Carson after a return home from their season opener in Columbus.
