New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gotham FC announced today a limited $15 ticket offer for the upcoming Queens Classic match at Citi Field on July 15th. Up to 4,000 tickets will be available at this price, distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets are available at GothamFC.com/Mayor.
The Queens Classic, for which 38,000+ tickets have already been distributed, will be the club’s first game in the borough. It will be a rematch of the 2025 NWSL Championship game as Gotham FC take
on local rivals Washington Spirit.
“The biggest events in our city should be affordable to the people who make this city run,” said Mayor Mamdani. “Whether it’s the World Cup, a championship celebration or The Queens Classic, our goal is the same: Make sure working New Yorkers have a chance to be there. This ticket offer will help thousands more fans cheer on one of the best clubs in the world as Gotham FC makes history.”
This news comes one day after Gotham FC announced that the club would be playing all home matches at nearby Etihad Park in Queens starting in the 2028 NWSL season. The club announced today that over 1,000 season-ticket deposits have been placed for the 2028 season in the 24 hours since the move was first announced.
“Gotham FC is proud to partner with Mayor Mamdani’s office on an initiative that opens the doors to one of the biggest nights in our club’s history,” said Mark Zarthar, the president of Gotham FC. “The Queens Classic is about more than one match. It is about bringing New Yorkers together, growing the women’s game and creating a moment that reflects the energy, ambition and diversity of this city.”
This is not the first time the two entities have collaborated—in late April, Mayor Mamdani and Gotham FC ran a promotion for a May home game, selling 1,000 tickets for $5 each. The tickets sold out within an hour.
