Each pass admits two people to attend games scheduled for July 19, July 25, July 29, Aug. 1, Aug. 5 and Aug. 23.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Metropolitan Library has partnered with the Columbus Crew to offer a limited number of free tickets to select home games this summer through the library’s Culture Pass program.
Library cardholders will be able to check out one of 10 Culture Passes before six select home matches.
Each pass admits two people to attend games scheduled for July 19, July 25, July 29, Aug. 1, Aug. 5 and Aug. 23.
The passes will be available for in-person checkout at CML’s Main Library only.
Ten passes for the next game will be made available for checkout on the day after each game.
The first round of passes for the game on July 19 will be available for checkout next week.
The Culture Pass program gives CML customers free access to local cultural institutions by checking out passes just like library books.
Launched in 2018, the program has since expanded to include more than a dozen organizations across central Ohio.
Some of the participating organizations include the Columbus Clippers, the Columbus Museum of Art, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Franklin Park Conservatory, CAPA and Columbus Children’s Theatre.
“The Columbus Crew are thrilled to join Columbus Metropolitan Library’s Cultural Pass program to help accomplish the Club’s mission of championing soccer in Columbus,” said Stephanie Cedeño, Crew director of community relations. “The Crew and library have a shared commitment to education, and this partnership will help the Club continue to grow the beautiful game and encourage the community to support their local library.”
