Chivas USA Playoff Tickets on Sale
Circle Saturday, Nov. 8 on your calendar.
Chivas USA announced today that's the date for the second leg of its opening playoff series against an opponent to be determined and put tickets to the game on sale starting at $14. For tickets, call 1-877-CHIVAS-1.
Swag available to the first 10,000 fans: a free Chivas USA playoff T-shirt.
Former AEG executive (and now Chivas USA co-owner, President and CEO) Shawn Hunter even managed to get in two subtle digs in one quote in the press release at their stadium co-tenants just down the hall:
"We would like to congratulate Preki and the entire team for leading Chivas USA to the playoffs for the third year in a row. In the face of injury and international call-ups, our coaching staff and players have shown tremendous resilience and determination during the course of this season," said Chivas USA President and CEO Shawn Hunter. "Our ultimate goal is now to make history by playing for an MLS Cup in front of our fans on November 23 at the Home Depot Center."
The Galaxy, of course, are on the verge of missing the playoffs for a third consecutive year, let alone reaching the final in their own stadium.
A Chivas USA playoff two pack is also available - starting at just $24 or $12 a game - that gets fans into the Nov. 8 game and the regular season finale Oct. 25 against the Houston Dynamo. Potentially, that's a huge game - with six points at stake Chivas USA is just five behind the Dynamo going into the penultimate regular season contest at noon Sunday against the Colorado Rapids in Carson.
