Our Community Ticket Program is a resource to distribute complimentary tickets to nonprofit and community-based organizations. The program encourages organizations to bring their groups to a Chattanooga FC match for an outing.

These tickets are not meant for raffles, fundraiser donations, or promotional purposes. Please visit our donation request page if your group is interested in a charity event donation.

Guidelines

  • All tickets will be provided via email
  • Program applications are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. The application window will close once inventory is unavailable. You will be notified if you have been selected to receive tickets as soon as possible.
  • Eligible organizations must request tickets by completing an official application, which can be found below.
  • Submitting an application does not guarantee tickets. Every applicant will be notified of approval status.
  • To be eligible for Community Tickets, requests must range from a minimum of 25 tickets to a maximum of 150 tickets.
