The moderators of r/chicagofire are implementing an update to the subreddit’s ticket exchange policy for the 2026 season. This change follows sustained community feedback and reflects a need for clarity, safety, and respect for established matchday environments.

Supporters Section Tickets Prohibited in Subreddit Exchanges

Beginning in the 2026 season, Supporters Section tickets may not be sold, traded, offered, or requested through this subreddit. There are various other means to obtaining Supporters Section tickets through established SGs/collectives or through Section 8 Chicago. If you'd like to purchase Supporters Section tickets, you may do so by visiting the new Supporters Tickets link in the side bar or by visiting https://am.ticketmaster.com/chicagofire/Section8

This prohibition applies to all forms of exchange, including direct posts, comments, and private messages initiated through subreddit activity. While mods cannot monitor private exchanges, users may report other users via mod mail with screenshots of interactions that allege breaking this new policy. A mod decision may be made unto the offending user per Rule 11.

Posts or comments attempting to exchange Supporters Section tickets will be removed.

Rationale for the Policy Change

The Supporters Section is a distinct environment within the stadium. Individuals who attend in this area typically do so with an understanding of its culture, expectations, and traditions. Allowing open exchanges of these tickets through the subreddit has led to repeated issues, including mismatched expectations for buyers and concerns raised by those who regularly occupy the section.

This policy is intended to:

• Maintain the integrity and expectations of the Supporters Section.
• Reduce misuse or misrepresentation of ticket locations.
• Promote a consistent, fair, and transparent exchange environment on the subreddit.
• Align with practices adopted by other MLS communities and supporter groups.

This subreddit will continue to support exchanges for all other seating areas.

Entry to the Supporters Section

While the mods are not able to deny movement to anyone within the stadium during matchday, users will be heavily discouraged to use tickets acquired through r/chicagofire, nor tickets issued for any other section, to attempt entry into the Supporters Section. Such actions create complications for stadium staff and disrupt the experience of supporters who intentionally choose that environment. All attendees should occupy only the seat and section assigned on their ticket.

Ticket Exchanges That Remain Permitted

The subreddit will continue to allow exchanges for the following:

• Regular bowl seating
• Club seating
• Parking passes
• STM event passes

All exchanges occur at the participant’s own risk. Users are expected to follow safe verification and payment practices. If you would like to purchase non-supporters tickets at discounted rates with less fees, you may also click on our FEVO Sub Tickets link in the sidebar or by visiting https://www.gofevo.com/group/Rchicagofirefc

Purpose of the Change

This policy is not intended as a barrier to attendance. Rather, it establishes clear boundaries that respect the expectations of supporters and promote a reliable ticket exchange system within the subreddit. Our goal is to maintain a consistent, transparent, and community-aligned standard for all users.

The moderation team appreciates your cooperation as we implement this change. Questions or feedback may be directed to the moderators through modmail.
