Match: Match 77 – Round of 32 Knockout Stage
Date: Tuesday, June 30, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST
Venue: MetLife Stadium, New Jersey
Seats: Two (2) Category 1 Tickets — prime lower-bowl seats with the closest, most unobstructed sightlines to the pitch
These are among the most sought-after seats in the house, placing you right in the heart of the action during one of the most thrilling rounds of the tournament.
All proceeds from this auction go directly to funding Teatro Grattacielo’s Creative Tableaux Summer Internship Program — a program dedicated to providing cultural and educational opportunities to immigrant youth in New York City. Your bid is a charitable donation and is tax deductible. An official donation receipt will be provided.
These tickets were made possible by the generous support of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF).
Starting Bid: $4,000 for the pair
Auction Closes: Friday, June 5th
This is a best and final bid auction. Each interested party may submit one offer by Tuesday, June 5th. The highest bid received by that date wins. In the event of a tie, tied bidders will be given one opportunity to submit a final revised offer.
To place your bid, please email Stefanos Koroneos, General and Artistic Director at: Stefanoskoroneos@grattacielo.org
Teatro Grattacielo is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your bid constitutes a charitable donation and is fully tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. An official contribution receipt will be provided to the winning bidder for tax purposes.
In 2025, Teatro Grattacielo achieved its most impactful NYC season—four sold-out productions, a major gala, paid internships, workshops, and free community access through our Creative Tableaux program. More than 220 artists were engaged and paid. As many organizations scale back, we are expanding: developing new works, elevating young talent, and offering multilingual performances, Pay-What-You-Can tickets, and free Opera at Gotham Park events.
