Your 2027-2028 Season Ticket Membership will have NO price increase per game for the sprint season and NO price increase per game for the 2027-2028 FIFA calendar season. Your total cost will be divided into 18 equal, interest-free payments, automatically charged at the end of each month, from August of 2026 through January of 2028.

Beginning July 1, 2026, the City of Chester implemented a 5% Amusement Tax on admission fees for ticketed events, sporting events, and entertainment to support schools and public safety. As required, this tax will be reflected in the cost of your 2027-2028 Season Ticket Membership.

Renewal FAQ
Renewal FAQ

Can I renew for just the Sprint Season or the 2027-2028 MLS Season?
No, 2027-2028 Season Ticket Memberships include both the 2027 Sprint Season and the full 2027-2028 MLS Season.  

Why did you go with a 18-month payment plan?
A 18-month payment plan allows you to spread out the cost of 27 games in a way that is roughly equivalent to the current structure (27/18 = ~1.5 games per month, which is just slightly less then 20/12 = 1.6 games per month). This also sets you up for the future renewal timeline for the 2028-2029 season and beyond.

When will I begin paying my new monthly fee?
Your first monthly payment will be processed on Sept 1, 2026. Your second payment will be processed on Sept 28, 2026, with all remaining monthly payments automatically processed on the 28th of each month through the completion of your payment plan on Jan 28, 2028.

How do I contact my Fan Services Representative to make changes to my account?

A: To make changes to your account or if you have any questions about your membership, please contact your Fan Services Representative. Click here to view a complete directory of our Fan Services team, including contact information for each representative.

Can I add-on or relocate my seats?
Yes. As always, STMs will have the first opportunity to move into any available inventory during the relocation and add-on process, which will occur the week of September 14, 2026. If you’re interested in relocating your seats or adding more seats to your membership, please let your Fan Services Representative know.

When/how will my monthly payments change if I relocate, add on, or make other changes?
If you choose to relocate and/or add more seats during the Relocation and Add-On Process in September, your monthly payments will automatically adjust to reflect the difference in cost between your previous seats and your new ones, beginning with your Sept 28th payment.
