Orlando MLS Franchise Sells 7,500 Season Tickets

ORLANDO (AP) — Orlando City Soccer Club says it is halfway to selling its anticipated season ticket capacity for its first Major League Soccer season in 2015.

Officials from Orlando's incoming MLS franchise say that it sold 7,500 season tickets during special ticket pricing that started at the beginning of the World Cup and ended July 15.

The team expects to cap its season ticket sales at 14,000 seats as the teams prepares for a transition from the Florida Citrus Bowl to a new downtown stadium in 2016. Season ticket holders will have priority seating in the new stadium.

Tickets for the 2015 season are still available and can be purchased by calling 855-ORL-CITY or by visiting www.orlandocitysc.com .
