CINCINNATI – FC Cincinnati announced on Tuesday the club had sold 10,000 season tickets for the 2018 season following the completion of the club’s recent season ticket member renewal window, well on the way to the club’s goal of reaching 15,000 season tickets for the club’s third year and ahead of schedule compared to each of the past two years.

“We are incredibly fortunate to have passionate fans supporting the club,” said FCC President and General Manager Jeff Berding. “To reach the 10,000 season-ticket plateau this early in our push for 15,000 is indicative of Cincinnati as a major-league city. With our public on-sale scheduled to begin in a month, we are excited to see how much more our fanbase will grow. We would love to see our season ticket member group continue to thrive.”

A year ago, FCC had sold 5,000 season tickets, and reached the 10,000-season ticket-mark on Feb. 7, 2017. Cincinnati’s average attendance in the 2017 USL regular season was 21,198, a USL record, and the club also welcomed crowds surpassing 30,000 fans for three meetings with MLS opposition in its run to the Semifinals of the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

FCC’s sales team is currently guiding season ticket members through the Seat Improvement process, allowing members to upgrade, change or add seats to their accounts. Deposit holders for 2018 have been contacted and will begin to speak with their dedicated account representatives the week of Nov. 20. The public on-sale is tentatively scheduled the first week of December. 

“We believe that the excitement for this club will continue to grow, especially as we begin to solidify our roster for 2018 and as we announce what will be an exciting preseason schedule in January,” said Berding. “We invite all those who are not yet season ticket members to consider getting in early. There is still time to join and be part of the soccer movement that is occurring in our city and in our country. The FCC experience is one that we are very proud of and we will continue to focus on our fans’ enjoyment at our games.”
