New York Cosmos Offer Free Match Tickets to Paterson High School Students

The New York Cosmos today announced a new community initiative that will provide free tickets to all Paterson high school students for matches at Hinchliffe Stadium. 

The program is open to students from all Paterson high schools and is designed to bring more young fans into the stadium, giving them the opportunity to experience professional soccer in their own city while supporting their local club. 

Hinchliffe Stadium, a newly renovated historic venue in the heart of Paterson, now serves as a home for professional soccer and a gathering place for the community. Through this initiative, students will have access to a high-level matchday experience in a setting deeply rooted in the city’s history. 

“This initiative is about creating access and opportunity for students in Paterson,” said Baye Adofo-Wilson, Managing Partner of the New York Cosmos. “As someone who was born and raised in Paterson, I know how important it is for kids to be inspired in their own community and Cosmos matches can be part of that inspiration.” 

Students can claim complimentary tickets through the club’s ticketing platform or at the Hinchliffe Stadium box office by presenting a valid school ID. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are subject to per-match availability. 

"We are always looking for meaningful ways to create memorable and enriching experiences for our students," said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Laurie W. Newell. "This opportunity gives our students a chance to connect with one another, experience something new, and take pride in their community right here in Paterson." 

With this program, the Cosmos continue their commitment to investing in the Paterson community and building the next generation of supporters. The initiative encourages students to attend matches with friends, represent their schools, and take part in the energy and excitement of Cosmos matchdays. 

Paterson high school students can claim their free tickets now and experience professional soccer at Hinchliffe Stadium.
