The Portland Timbers will begin sale of 2012 MLS regular season single-game tickets Feb. 28, the team announced Wednesday.

The single-game tickets are likely to sell quickly. The Timbers sold out every regular season home game during the team's inaugural season in 2011.

The team had previously announced the expansion of seating capacity at Jeld-Wen Field. The expanded capacity led to an increase in the number of available season tickets and the extra season tickets quickly sold out.

Last year, fans lined up hours before the team started selling single-game tickets and the line eventually snaked its way around part of the stadium and toward the Multnomah Athletic Club.

Single-game tickets for each regular-season home game will be available for purchase on Feb. 28 exclusively at the stadium box office from 5-10 p.m. Fans can purchase up to four tickets per game and will be allowed to purchase tickets for up to two games per transaction. Season ticket holders and fans on the waiting list will have the opportunity to purchase single-game tickets during a pre-sale period starting Thursday, Feb. 23, at 10 a.m.

The Timbers will open their 2012 regular season against the Philadelphia Union on Monday, March 12, at Jeld-Wen Field on ESPN2. The club will play 17 regular-season home matches.
