Tickets on Sale This Week for Honduras-U.S. Game Jan. 23 at Home Depot Center
Prices start at $26 and go on sale starting Thursday to Visa card holders and the general public at 8 a.m. Friday for the game that was reported earlier here (although that report was off by one day).
The 6 p.m. game, confirmed today by U.S. Soccer, will also be televised on Fox Soccer Channel.
"Obviously we know the quality of the Honduran team very well and we think the match is a great way to start the year as we commence preparations for the World Cup," said U.S. head coach Bob Bradley. "With both teams working toward finalizing their rosters for South Africa, we expect it will be a very competitive game."
As is usual for the traditional January friendly in Southern California, expect an MLS-laden U.S. roster. And let's hope U.S. fans find tickets in their stocking or we are going to host another predominantly Central American crowd in Carson for the occasion.
The U.S. went 4-0 last year against their fellow World Cup finalists including a 3-2 win in Honduras that clinched a World Cup spot for the Americans.

I wish US Soccer would do group sales for a smaller number than 20 people. The worst part of ticketmaster's website is if you order 15 tickets, they give you 15 tickets in one row.
I guess the economic downturn must be hitting US Soccer. Endline tickets went up 33%!!!
