Score Savings on Soccer Tickets
Cheer for the Triangle's professional soccer team with a Duke employee discount
Robin Roach and her 14-year-old son, Devin, are self-titled super fans of the North Carolina Football Club.
Since the Roaches moved to the area five years ago, the family has been attending at least three soccer games each season to cheer on the team at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary. Devin, who plays soccer, has even visited the player’s locker room during a long rain delay.
“The players do such a good job of making themselves available to kids,” Roach said. “It’s a great way for my son to model professionals and emulate them.”
Roach, director of revenue cycle and strategic business operations for the Department of Psychiatry and Behavior Sciences, is often able to save a few on game tickets with the Duke employee discount. Staff and faculty get 20 percent off per ticket, a $4 to $13 per ticket savings.
“I use my Duke discount, and it’s the greatest thing,” Roach said. “I don’t buy anything until I go and see if I have it, from restaurants to game tickets to theme parks.”
North Carolina FC, previously known as the Carolina RailHawks, moved from the smaller North American Soccer League to the United Soccer League.
The team’s season runs from March 17 to Oct. 13.
