Peoria City Offers Several Free and Discounted Ticket Offers
(MAY 7, 2026 | PEORIA, IL) – In its mission to make Peoria City games family-friendly and affordable for all, the club has announced several free and discounted ticket offers as the home schedule kicks into high gear next week.
The newest club initiative is the announcement of the Community Endzone, the north end of the field backed by Shea Stadium’s pine trees. Generously supported by the family of Eric and Lisa Spires all season, the first 50 guests to enter the Community Endzone through Gate 4 will receive FREE admission, while any additional fans may purchase entry for just $5. Access for the standing-room-only section will be limited to the north endzone, but Peoria City will operate a satellite concessions and merchandise stand in the Community Endzone.
Community Endzone tickets are available only when gates open one hour prior to game time by entering the stadium at Gate 4, located at the northeast entrance to Shea Stadium.
As the Flying Carp prepare for their USL League Two home opener May 23 versus Great Plains Division rival and perennial league power Des Moines Menace, Peoria City has announced a special ticket offer. By selecting the “Menace Plus One” ticket offer online, fans who purchase full-priced general admission tickets ($8 each) for the May 23 game against Des Moines will have the option to purchase the same number of GA tickets for any of the remaining games in the CEFCU Friendlies Series at half price ($4).
The remaining four games in the CEFCU Friendlies Series are Tuesday, May 12 versus Sueno FC (6:00 pm); Saturday, May 16 against BOHFS St. Louis (7:30 pm); Tuesday, May 19 versus River Light FC (6:00 pm); and Tuesday, June 9 versus Ehtar Belleville FC (6:00 pm).
Peoria City also is partnering with Veterans Tickets Foundation for a donation of 30 general admission tickets per game to Vet Tix, allowing veterans and active military members to obtain free tickets to Peoria City games throughout the season.
In addition to the new offers, club sponsors continue to generate donations to the Peoria City Ticket Bank. The sponsors have the ability to direct free tickets to specific organizations of their choosing or may allow Peoria City to distribute tickets on their behalf. Any area service organization wishing to coordinate a group outing for its members or wishing to provide complimentary tickets to the community it serves should contact Peoria City by emailing peoriacitysoccer@gmail.com to coordinate the donation.
Peoria City officially kicks off its fifth season in USL League Two Saturday by visiting Great Plains Division rival FC Ambush for a 7 pm game at Missouri Baptist University in St. Louis. The Flying Carp then return to Shea Stadium for a four-game home stand, beginning with the next three games in the CEFCU Friendlies Series.
The home stand will conclude with the marquee matchup Saturday, May 23 (7:30 pm) versus the Des Moines Menace. The game against the Menace will feature another special promotional item: the first 300 season-ticket holders through the entry gates will receive a foam, carp-shaped hat from OSF HealthCare with additional hats available for purchase at the 1894 Sports merchandise stand. Peoria City tickets, as well as information on summer camps, memberships in the School of Carp Kids Club and booster club, and sign ups for the Joey Olson COUNTRY Financial Ball Chasers all are available for visiting the club online at PeoriaCitySoccer.com.
