New York City FC News Release
NEW YORK, N.Y. - After clinching a spot in the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs for the second year in a row, New York City FC today announced the 2017 playoff ticket timeline and pricing. City Members have had their playoff tickets automatically loaded into their account and have until October 9 to opt out if they don't want their seats for the playoffs. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, October 18.
As a thank you to our fans for their loyal support throughout the 2017 campaign, City Member ticket prices for potential Knockout Round and Conference Semifinals matches will remain at normal regular season match prices starting at $21 for Founding Members. The Club has also announced that tickets will be limited to the lower levels of Yankee Stadium, and the 300 and 400 levels will not be opened.
While the Club is currently in second place in the Eastern Conference, playoff seeding is not yet finalized as there are still three games left in the 2017 regular season. As a result, there are three potential home playoff game scenarios.
New York City FC finishing as the number 1 - 2 seed:
If NYCFC finishes as the Eastern Conference's first or second seed, the second leg of the Conference Semifinals will be played on Wednesday, November 1, instead of Sunday, November 5, due to an event at Yankee Stadium scheduled prior to the 2017 MLS season. New York City FC finishing as the number 3 - 4 seed:
If the Club finishes as a three or four seed, a Knockout Round game would take place at home on either October 25 or 26. With a win, the Club would qualify for the Conference Semifinals and would host Leg 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals on October 30 or 31.
New York City FC finishing as the number 5 - 6 seed:
If the Club finishes as a five or six seed, the team would play the Knockout Round game on the road. With a win, the Club would qualify for the Conference Semifinals and would host Leg 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals on October 30 or 31.
