Galaxy-Barcelona Tickets on Sale Wednesday
Hmm, the timing of this may be just a little too precious, but just 90 minutes before Barcelona takes the field against Manchester United in their hotly anticipated UEFA Champions League final, the Galaxy decide to begin sales of tickets to their game with Barca Aug. 1 at the Rose Bowl.
Tickets start at $25.
More info: 1-877-3GALAXY.
Do I need to mention 90 minutes before the game starts means 10 a.m.? Didn't think so. Wonder how many fans are actually going to be sitting on hold (or on-line) at Ticketmaster while the game is getting started?
I'll be back a little later with a complete viewer's guide to the final Wednesday. And yes, I am taking the day off work. Aren't you?
