The game will kick off at 4pm (ET), but supporters can get into Olympic Stadium as early as 2pm. Over 35,000 supporters are expected to make it to Olympic Stadium, so make sure you get there early, ready to chant as the Impact players take to the pitch for the warmup session.
Here are just a few of the reasons why you should arrive early on Saturday
1. Lineups really aren’t that cool
We all know it: lineups are the worst.
If you’re going to pick up your tickets at the Olympic Stadium ticket office, you should definitely arrive early. Supporters can actually get their tickets as early as 9am on Saturday morning. And don’t worry about looking for things to do before kickoff.

2. Get involved in some pregame banter
Whether it’s getting involved in some pregame activities with Ultras Montreal, discussing tactics with your friends at the Celebration Zone or even getting involved in some pregame banter, there’s always something to do.
And for those who are interested, the Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium -located next to Olympic Stadium- is organizing an Open House, starting at 10am. Admission is free.
3. BMO Free season program
The first 10,000 supporters to arrive at the Olympic Stadium gates will receive a free BMO clapper as well as the 2013 season program.
4. Win a seat upgrade to the Scotts lawn lounge
Scotts will be upgrading four lucky supporters to sideline seats, prior to kickoff. The only prerequisite: You need to be in your seats before it happens.
5. Two-for-one on scarves
Take advantage of various promotions at the club’s official boutique, including a two-for-one special on scarves. You can also check out the new third jersey, which will be worn by the team against TFC, as part of the 20th anniversary celebrations.
