800 Approaches! They said we were crazy, but then, Section 8's always been told that. Doubling our numbers in a year the Fire missed the playoffs and the big offseason signing was....uh....one of ten players nobody had heard of? Why the hell not? Supporting the Fire isn't about whether the right ex-EPL player is on the team or not, it's being part of the Fire community through thick and thin, supporting the club on the rainy days so the sunny days are that much better. Being with your friends at every tailgate, on the road, singing loud and proud for the Fire. That's why Section 8 keeps growing regardless of what's thrown at it. And so as of this morning, 767 season tickets have been sold in Section 8. Here are the numbers from previous years in Section 8: 2006 Season Tickets in S8: 89

2007 Season Tickets in S8: 148

2008 Season Tickets in S8: 312

2009 Season Tickets in S8: 293

2010 Season Tickets in S8: 389

2011 Season Tickets in S8: 767 & counting This offseason, Fire supporters have stepped up in unprecedented numbers to be part of the growth of the standing, singing supporters' sections. The Fire wants to reward this by offering a free bus trip to Columbus for all Section 8 season ticket holders if we hit 800 by the home opener on Saturday. SO...now is the time to be a part of this! Season tickets are $200 and you can pay it off through September on a no-interest payment plan with the Fire. Remember, single game tickets cost $20 so this is a no-brainer if you make it to even 10 games a season, and the ticket exchange program means you can swap out tickets from games you missed as well.
