@CrewFanCouncil So….uhhhhh…

[Columbus Crew Fan Council @CrewFanCouncil]

@EGoodmanCC Yes. If they cannot attend a game, they always have the option to sell their tickets. Used to be controlled through a ticket exchange in decades past, but no longer.

[Columbus Crew Fan Council @CrewFanCouncil]

Lowest cost tickets climbed almost 30% today to $175+ for Nordecke.

You can buy food/beer included tickets in “PATIO” for $223.75. So if you planned for a $175 Nordecke ticket today, might as well buy the $223 Patio ticket that is same end of stadium in nicer seats and includes a selection of beer/seltzers and hotdog/popcorn/sodas for free.

[Columbus Crew Fan Council @CrewFanCouncil]

You can fly round trip to Miami AND get a ticket to the Inter Miami vs Columbus playoff match for less than $280.

The second playoff match held in Columbus will set you back $135.

Soccerwise guys giving Sean Zawadski some props.

Classy sequence by Columbus to beat Chicago's press, as they use their 4v3 overload in build-up, combined with slick counter-movements involving Mendez and Habroune plus some sharp passing, to progress upfield and find Farsi. The Crew are rolling nicely ahead of the playoffs.

“In league play that's 8W-1L-0D, which is literally the best mark in MLS history over the final nine games of the season.”

Miami have Messi and not much else, the 'Caps are still looking for balance, and the Union... that's the team no one wants to see.

@buckeyedinapoli Likely same as before. But we can ask.

Follow-up from Inter Miami game.

We had a good conversation with the front office. We were able to express the disappointment of the yellow t-shirt strategy that we had called out on game-day and they had some good perspective on the limits of what they can or would do.

They understand the concern and optics connected to passing out yellow t-shirts to ticket holders in Nordecke who have arrived wearing a non-Crew jersey. They said that this is not a unique strategy (as noted by other fans across different teams replying to the Fan Council post on X about the shirts).

In most games, there are other options like reseating those fans to another part of the stadium. In a sold out game like last Sunday (21,188 attendance) there is nowhere to seat them. The only other option would be to turn away fans and move them out of the stadium entirely - which they noted was a bad business decision if we want to grow the game and the audience in Columbus.

Other important points were that many of the Nordecke tickets sold were from Nordecke STMs that were resale tickets that they can’t really control how it is sold or to whom. Additional steps that they have taken in the past include the note on Ticketmaster: “ONLY CREW FANS ALLOWED!” Of course the price point of Nordecke tickets make them attractive to anyone seeking to get into the match.

We discussed expanding the away section in 200 level for higher demand games, but that would also displace some season ticket holders and create a new set of problems and not permanently solve the issue of resale tickets in Nordecke.

They are open to other ideas that meet safety and business sense. This is currently only a problem that occurs at one or two games a season.

From our conversation, they were very open and willing to think through potential solutions as well as hear the frustrations of fans from across the stadium.

Legend.

Homegrown. Captain. One of a Kind ☝️

Sean Zawadzki becomes the first player in Club history to play every minute of an MLS regular season. Ironman 🛡️

What. A. Win! 🤯

Brias Méndez delivers the stoppage-time winner to complete an incredible comeback for @ColumbusCrew, punching their ticket straight to Round One and avoiding the Wildcard matchup. 👊

[Tom Bogert @tombogert]

Columbus Crew comeback to beat the Chicago Fire 4-3, wild game in an insane end to the season for the Crew.

6 straight wins for Columbus and 8 wins in their last 9... for Columbus to not only make the playoffs but climb up to 7th and avoid the play-in game.

Very exciting and cold MLS game done! Lewandowski scored twice, but Columbus still managed to win 4-3 with a last-minute winner.

Our streak of only seeing the home team win since Auburn has come to an end.

Now we’re back in the car, heading to our last college football game of the trip. Around 1 hour and 20 minutes to the stadium. One last game to finish our American adventure!

“WE’VE GOT A GOAL!!”

[Major League Soccer @MLS]

😱 DECISION DAY DRAMA!!! 😱

#MLS360 crew goes crazy as @ColumbusCrew scores a 93rd-minute winner to secure the No. 7 seed and avoid the Wild Card game!

[Columbus Crew Fan Council @CrewFanCouncil]

We get to play this team at least twice.
Home game in the playoffs coming against Messi and friends.
