New York City FC

When can I sell my New York City FC tickets?

The first event to mark on your calendar for the upcoming New York City FC season is the release of the upcoming season’s schedule, which generally happens in December.

You can start listing New York City FC tickets when the team activates the tickets available in your account.

When is the best time to sell New York City FC tickets?

The schedule release until the start of the season is the best time to list tickets, as it’s a seller’s market. There are very few tickets available for sale, so there is not much competition. At the same time, there is demand from the die-hard fans who are willing to pay top dollar to secure the big game tickets. Low supply + high demand = high sales prices.

Our second recommended window is at least one month prior to the game.  Within one month, a lot of people start listing, increasing supply and dropping prices. Sellers should list and sell their tickets before this surge in ticket inventory happens.

How do I price New York City FC tickets on a resale marketplace? 

First, look at comparable resale listings.  Comparable resale listings are seats that are similar or closer in distance to midfield and four rows behind you or closer to the field. Find the cheapest seats that meet that criteria, then price above or below based on the below information. 

Second, you can gauge the direction of the market and whether to price below or above the competition based on the following attributes. The more negatives apply to the game, the lower you should price your tickets because it’s extremely likely the tickets will drop in price even more. 

Negatives:

• Selling within one month of the game. The closer the game, the lower the prices will be in general
• Home team is likely not going to the playoffs or underperforming expectations
• Key injuries to either the home team or the visiting team
• Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday games. Monday being the worst, Tuesday second worst
• Low resale value opponents
  • Little legacy, no superstars, small fanbase
• The game is part of a home back-to-back, or a long homestand
• Bad weather
• Sunday games during the NFL season

Positives:

• Selling more than one month from the game. The further away from the game, the more you can sell your tickets for in general
• Home team is performing to or better than the expectation going into the season
• Opponent is performing to or better than the expectation going into the season
• Great resale value opponents
  • A legacy team, have superstars, a deep fanbase, or are a championship contender
• Friday/Saturday/Sunday games (Saturday being the best)
• Rivalry game
• Important holidays games

What other tips are there for selling New York City FC tickets? 

The schedule release is the best time to list tickets, as it’s a full-on seller’s market. There are very few tickets available for sale, so not much competition. At the same time, there is a spike in demand from the die-hard fans that are willing to pay top dollar to secure the big game tickets. Low supply + high demand = high sales prices.
