Very few tickets remain for Atlanta United’s season-opening MLS match against Montreal on Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, according to the team.

The team expects a sellout of more than 60,000. There is ongoing construction of new premium club spaces in and around sections 328-333 that will lower capacity.

Atlanta United has led MLS in average attendance each of its past eight seasons.

Saturday will be the 32nd time that Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be open to “full capacity.” The team is 20-4-7 in those matches. It is 20-4-7 during the regular season and 5-0-1 in the playoffs.

The team features Miguel Almiron, Emmanuel Latte Lath, Alexey Miranchuk and Brad Guzan.

While still available, tickets can be purchased through online vendors or through Atlanta United’s website.
