Ways to save on FC Cincinnati playoff tickets
Family pack deal: FCC offers a family pack featuring four tickets, each including your choice of pizza, soda or beer, for just $140 total — that's $35 per person.
Student discounts: College students can get discounted tickets by using a .edu email address.
Free admission for toddlers: Kids 3 and under get in free but must sit on a lap.
Group discounts: Groups of more than 10 people can score additional discounts.
Important ticket-buying warnings
If you buy tickets outside of fccincinnati.com or SeatGeek, you risk paying extra fees or receiving fake tickets. The club won't refund purchases from unofficial sellers.
For potential Game 3 tickets, there's good news about refunds.
"If the event doesn't get played, we're not gonna keep your money, we'll give your money back, give you a refund," Wulfeck said.
However, if you want to attend a potential Game 3, Wulfeck recommends buying now because tickets are selling quickly.
"Those games are subject to change date and time. If the game's played and time's not perfect for you, we apologize, but all sales are final in that situation," Wulfeck said.
What to wear
The team is encouraging an "orange out" for the playoff atmosphere.
"It's an orange out. We're hoping not only will we fill the stadium, fans will wear orange and show the Crew here in Cincinnati it's orange and blue… not that yellow and black," Berding said.
