December 15, 2023 - Major League Soccer (MLS)
Columbus Crew SC News Release


COLUMBUS - The Columbus Crew announced today that the Club has reached its Season Ticket Membership capacity for the 2024 MLS season, the first time in franchise history that all Season Ticket Memberships have been reserved. Thanks to their massive supporters, the Black & Gold hit the mark prior to the 2023 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs, when they claimed their third MLS Cup and ultimately distributed its full allocation of nine-match partial-plan ticket packages.

The Crew are launching "Black & Gold Next," a comprehensive membership program for supporters who wish to acquire season tickets in future years. Members of the waitlist will have priority access to season tickets beginning in 2025 while enjoying benefits offered to current season tickets members, including access to pre-sales for 2024 Crew single-match tickets and major events at Lower.com Field, Historic Crew Stadium and Cleveland Browns Stadium; and an MLS Season Pass subscription to stream all Crew and MLS matches throughout the season.

"Crew supporters continued to show their unmatched passion throughout the 2023 season, and they played a key role in establishing our massive homefield advantage at Lower.com Field and winning our third MLS Cup," said Haslam Sports Group Chief of Strategy and Development Josh Glessing. "We know that energy and momentum will carry into 2024, especially given the high demand after selling through our season ticket memberships and partial-plan packages. We are starting Black & Gold Next, our new waitlist offering, to ensure all fans have premier access to Crew matches, events and additional benefits, as well as be the first in line to become full season ticket members during our franchise's historic 30th year in 2025."

Black & Gold Next membership program benefits included in the annual $200 subscription*:

- Priority access to 2025 season tickets or partial-plan packages

- Apple TV MLS Season Pass subscription (current value of $99 for non-Apple TV+ subscribers)

- Pre-sale access to Crew single-match tickets and major events at Lower.com Field, Historic Crew Stadium and Cleveland Browns Stadium

- Two complimentary tickets to Crew 2's "Heck Is Plausible" Derby against FC Cincinnati 2 (date/time TBD)

- A 10 percent discount for purchases from the Crew Shop at Lower.com Field

- Access to a dedicated Crew membership services representative

*Note: The annual subscription fee is not applicable to the price of future season tickets

MLS announced last week that it expects to announce the 2024 regular season schedule on Wednesday, Dec. 20. Single-match tickets for the full slate of 2024 Crew home games at Lower.com Field will go on sale in January.

To join Black & Gold Next and be best positioned to obtain 2025 Crew season tickets, supporters can visit www.columbuscrew.com/tickets, email thecrew@columbuscrew.com or call 614-447-2739 to secure their membership with payment of the initial $200 annual subscription cost.
