To determine whether you may be inadmissible and how to overcome this finding, please refer to the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website.

What’s this about buses to stadiums in cities we fly to?
Occasionally the 107ist will arrange for transport from city centers to stadiums in far off cities.
We are very lucky to have our stadium located in the downtown core, but in many cities the stadium is located in the far-out suburbs with few or no public transit options. In such cities, if enough 107ist members will be going, the 107ist Away Travel committee will arrange buses from a central location to the stadium and back. We strongly encourage all traveling fans to take advantage of these buses as they provide a safe, reliable way for fans to get from the city to the stadium. In addition, some stadiums require that all visiting fans enter the stadium at the same time, so taking the bus there guarantees you don’t miss the time window for entry.

Bus Trip FAQs
The Timbers Army bus trips are a legendary part of supporters’ culture in Portland. 107ist members are able to purchase tickets for the bus and match for trips such as Seattle, San Jose, and Vancouver prior to non-members. 107ist works with our brewery partners to provide each bus with a keg of local craft beer.
Is there an age limit for bus trips?
Maybe – On the larger trips (such as Seattle) we will also be providing a ‘family-friendly’ bus option, and this bus will not have a keg. On other trips we may need to limit attendance to people 21+ unless they are accompanied by a parent/guardian.
Can I bring my kid on the bus?
Yes, parents/guardians can bring their children on the bus, but it is the responsibility of that parent/guardian to supervise the child at all times. On the larger trips (such as Seattle) we will also be providing a ‘family-friendly’ bus option, and this bus will not have a keg.
Can I bring my own food/alcohol on the bus?
Yes. However no glass containers are allowed
Can I bring my dog/iguana/goldfish on the bus?
No. Pets are not allowed on bus trips. Accommodations will be made for service animals.
I plan to travel to an away match, how do I find out if there will be a Timbers Army Section there?
Every team is required to put away a specific number of seats for traveling supporters in a block away section, and every game the 107ist makes sure the Timbers Army can have access to those seats if they go. For more information, visit the specific team page for the trip you wish to go on.
For the Seattle and Vancouver Cascadia trips, due to demand, tickets will be restricted to 107ist members only. For most other away games, non-107ist members can purchase tickets in the away section.
I’m not a 107ist member but I just want a ticket for one away match, can I buy one?
For Cascadia games (Seattle and Vancouver), maybe. If there are any tickets remaining after the Member pre-sale, they will be put on sale for non-members. We do not anticipate there will be any Seattle tickets available for non-members.For all other games, non-107ist members can purchase tickets in the away TA section. Check the specific team page for more details.
How are tickets allotted by the MLS and other teams?
The MLS mandates that 150 tickets are set aside for visiting supporters. In Cascadia (Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver) the teams have agreed to set aside 500 tickets for away supporters. These Cascadia tickets are purchased by the Timbers Front office which then passes them to 107ist for sale and distribution.
How do I purchase tickets for the Timbers Army Section at Away games such as Seattle and Vancouver?
Members: 107ist members will receive an email with a link to a page where you will be able to purchase tickets during a pre-sale periodNon-Members: After the member pre-sale, any remaining tickets will go on sale at http://timbersarmy.org
