Hearts of Pine Announce Expanded Ticket Access for 2026 Season with Single Match Tickets on Sale March 2nd

Portland Hearts of Pine News Release


Hearts of Pine today announced 2026 single-match tickets will go on sale March 2nd alongside expanded ticketing options designed to improve ticket access for fans following the inaugural season's record-setting demand.

During that inaugural season, Maine embraced its new professional soccer club in an unprecedented way. Hearts set league records for attendance and consecutive sell-outs, with 104,386 fans attending the 18 home matches at Fitzpatrick Stadium.

Those tickets moved through the community in countless ways. The Community Ticketing Program and Youth Soccer Group Tickets helped thousands of community members attend games through donated or discounted tickets. Many season ticket members shared theirs with neighbors, friends, and visiting family, and thousands more attended matches with their friends and colleagues at a $3 Dewey's Suite or in the Highroller Field Club. That collective enthusiasm quickly pushed demand beyond Fitzpatrick Stadium's capacity, creating a season ticket waitlist larger than the capacity of the stadium, and made single-match tickets hard to come by in 2025.

"Last season showed us just how much this club means to people, and one of our top priorities this offseason has been expanding access to Hearts matches in 2026," said the club's Founder Gabe Hoffman-Johnson.

"Through surveys, conversations, and direct feedback, we heard clearly from supporters who wanted to be a part of every Fitzy matchday, but couldn't always get a ticket. That matters to us. Fitzpatrick's capacity will remain our biggest hurdle but our focus is on responding where we can. Incrementally adding capacity, creating more equitable ways to access tickets, and keeping affordability at the center while maintaining the same magical matchday experience we all came to love so much last year," said Hoffman-Johnson.

"The reality is we can't accommodate every Hearts fan at every matchday in Fitzy's current state, but with a few extra tickets and more options for how to get them, plus the expanded home schedule of 20 matches, a few thousand more fans will get to experience a match at Fitzy in 2026, and that's meaningful progress."
