Crew season tickets for '21, the first season in the new $300M Downtown stadium, are "more than double the price of 2020 season tickets at Mapfre Stadium in most equivalent areas," according to Jacob Myers of the COLUMBUS DISPATCH. While the "scale of the price hike for the new stadium has surprised and even frustrated" some season-ticket holders, many fans "have chosen to adjust their preferences rather than to turn their back on the opportunity to secure tickets." Crew Exec VP & Chief Business Officer Steve Lyons said that the club "converted more than 80% of current season-ticket members for next season before opening season-ticket sales to the general public Oct. 1, and the club expects that number to climb." The Crew "does not disclose the number of season tickets sold." The Crew also "does not publicly disclose ticket prices." The prices for next year's season tickets "first appeared on a Reddit page and were confirmed by fans who purchased tickets for 2021." Fans in the first few rows of the upper deck close to midfield at the new stadium "will pay $1,200 compared to about $425 for similar seats at Mapfre Stadium." Seats at midfield in the lower bowl on the east and west side are "reserved for premium tickets." The least expensive tickets are in the "Nordecke supporters' section for $450, and the south end of the stadium." Season tickets there "cost $750 for the lower bowl and $620 for the upper bowl" (COLUMBUS DISPATCH, 10/9).
