The Kansas City Wizards announced today that tickets to the September 27, 2007 match against David Beckham, Landon Donovan, Cobi Jones and the Los Angeles Galaxy will now go on sale Saturday, June 2, 2007 at 10 a.m. CT. Originally scheduled to go on sale in mid-July, the initial offer date has been moved up due to high demand for tickets to that match.
"We've been blown away by the volume of incoming calls for this game. To their great credit, the Galaxy have assembled a team of national and international soccer icons, including David Beckham and Landon Donovan, that people really want to see," Executive Vice President Greg Cotton said. "And I don't blame the fans for being excited, this match is going to be huge."
Individual tickets will be available at all Ticketmaster retail outlets, Ticketmaster.com, kcwizards.com or by calling Ticketmaster directly at 816.931.3330.
For groups of 40 or more, special ticket rates apply. Group packages are available by calling the Wizards directly at 913.387.3400 or toll free at 1.877.828.7222. Premium seating, including suites and club seating, is still available in limited quantities.
"Because of their special status with our club, our season ticket holders have been able to purchase tickets to the Galaxy game at the group discount rate," Cotton said. "We will continue this unique purchase plan for our season ticket holders throughout the season."
An exclusive online-only pre-sale will be offered Friday, June 1 from 5-9 p.m. for anyone who has purchased single game tickets to any 2007 Wizards home match. An email containing the password needed to purchase tickets during the pre-sale will be sent to anyone who has purchased tickets to other 2007 home matches.
"Our club has made a thrilling start to what promises to be a special season. The atmosphere at Arrowhead has been electric," Cotton said. "As a special 'thank you' to the fans who have helped generate that atmosphere we are offering an advanced pre-sale for the Galaxy game."
Anyone who purchases individual tickets to other Wizards matches between now and June 1 will be eligible to purchase tickets for the September 27 match during the pre-sale.
"The September 27th game is already drawing fans from every demographic and from all over the country. We're calling it the Midwest Sporting Event of the Year for good reason. I have no doubt that this event will draw one of the largest soccer crowds this region has ever seen," Cotton said.
