What happened: Columbus Crew announced a "Fee Free Weekend" promotion allowing fans to purchase tickets for any 2026 MLS regular season home match without added fees. The offer applies through 11:59 p.m. Monday.

Why it matters: The promotion targets ticket sales for the second half of the regular season as the Crew look to keep turnout strong at Lower.com Field. It gives fans a limited window to lock in seats at a lower total cost before the discount period closes.

What to watch: The fee-free pricing window closes Monday at 11:59 p.m., after which standard ticket fees resume for remaining home matches.
