FCC plans to offer the lowest average ticket price in MLS in its inaugural season
CINCINNATI – FC Cincinnati today unveiled its season ticket pricing and Nippert Stadium seating map for its 2019 debut in Major League Soccer.
FC Cincinnati’s 2019 Season Ticket Memberships will start at $199, with per-game Season Ticket Member prices from under $12 per ticket and to under $80 per ticket in premium areas.
To accommodate expected demand for the club’s inaugural MLS season – and in an effort to maintain family-friendly pricing and still meet MLS pricing considerations – FC Cincinnati has introduced four new pricing levels in 2019, which include newly designated areas along the sidelines, in the corners, in the upper level and in the Club.
Important Renewal Dates
The 2019 season ticket renewal process will begin on Sunday, Aug. 12, which marks the third anniversary of the club’s founding in 2015
Current season ticket members will have until Wednesday, Sept. 5 to renew their seats before their 2018 seats are dropped from their accounts
Beginning Monday, Sept. 10, FC Cincinnati will begin the seat selection and upgrade process with both renewed and new accounts in priority order
“Our upcoming first season in Major League Soccer is sure to be a memorable one as the support we have received from our region has been record-setting,” FC Cincinnati President and General Manager Jeff Berding said. “In order to remain true to our club values as a family friendly entertainment experience, we’ve made sure to keep tickets affordable, particularly at the entry prices, as we move up to the highest level of soccer in the U.S. With the creation of four new pricing sections, we’ve been able to keep prices low in our first MLS season.
“We realize the electric atmosphere and excitement created by 30,000 fans at Nippert Stadium and know our team thrives with such support behind them. With our inaugural MLS pricing, we utilized our Fan Advisory Council for their wise counsel as we all want to create more record-setting crowds at Nippert Stadium in 2019,” Berding said.
In 2019, FC Cincinnati is also offering new extended payment plans to Season Ticket Members. Six- and 10-month payment plans are available for both existing and new season ticket holders until Oct. 12. Season ticket memberships purchased between Oct. 13 and Feb. 1 are eligible for six-month payment plans, while plans purchased after Feb. 1 will not include an extended payment option.
FC Cincinnati Season Ticket Memberships come with a host of other amenities, including:
Dedicated service representative
Priority to purchase on-campus season parking passes
Priority access to international friendlies and playoff matches
Season Ticket Member gift
Exclusive Season Ticket Member events
Season Ticket Exchange program for up to six matches
This season, FC Cincinnati sold out its 2018 season ticket inventory, welcoming 18,000 season ticket members to the club. Midway through the home schedule, FCC has averaged 25,004 fans per game and the club’s average attendance tops the USL and ranks fourth among U.S. and Canadian professional teams, sitting behind three MLS clubs.
