2026 PORTLAND THORNS MEDIA GUIDELINES

Professional Conduct

Media are expected to follow the guidelines set forth in this document, as well as the instructions of Portland Thorns staff, stadium employees and security, at the risk of limitation of access or revocation of credentials.

Media credentials are non-transferable and are issued with the purpose of providing access to interviews and written, audio and visual accounts of the game as appropriate. Media members should not use access for autographs, personal photographs and/or commercial requests.

Approved credentialed media are expected to dress professionally while on assignment at Thorns training or match day and should not wear apparel supporting any of the competing clubs or national affiliations.

Violations of any guidelines may result in seizure of credential and/or ejection of its wearer from the stadium and/or training facility.

Credential Applications

Media members can apply for credentials by filling out the form located at thorns/com/media-resources/media-credentials.

Credential applications must be submitted no later than 72 hours from match kickoff to ensure enough time for the Thorns Communications staff to review. Late applications are not guaranteed to be reviewed or accepted.

Credentials are for media members that need game day Press Box and/or Field access to produce coverage. This includes writers, photographers, radio, television sportscasters and support crew that produce consistent and professional content adhering to accepted journalistic principles. Applications from freelance writers, photographers or videographers must come from a direct Thorns Communications supervisor validating professional and editorial need for media access and are subject to availability.

Thorns Communications staff reserves the right to deny credential requests that do not provide valid professional or editorial reason to enter Providence Park. For travel or scheduling purposes, if you require approval to future dates before making travel plans, please contact the Thorns Communications team.

A media member may be added to the credential review list and have their credentials revoked if any of the mentioned guidelines in this document are not followed. In addition to these guidelines, credentials may also be revoked following persistent unprofessional behavior including, but not limited to:

·   Abuse of any kind towards Portland Thorns, visiting team, NWSL, rights and non-rights holder staffs as well as players and match attendees (fans, stadium employees, special guests, etc.).

·   Using media access for autographs, personal photographs and/or commercial requests.

·   Conducting unauthorized interviews

·   Passing credentials to other individuals

·   Encroachment into restricted areas

·   Cheering in the press box

·   Disclosing non-public information meant only to be seen by media for planning purposes

·   Repeated offenses and/or inappropriate, unprofessional behavior after verbal reminders of the media guidelines.

Media Entrance

Media must enter Providence Park through Gate G located on SW 20^th Ave. Gate G is a stairs-only entrance that brings media onto the Main Concourse (MC) so personnel who need an accessible entrance can communicate with Thorns Communications staff to coordinate escort service through Gate F.

Gate G will open no later than 90 minutes prior to kick off on matchday unless otherwise noted. Early entry into Providence Park must be communicated with and approved by Thorns Communications staff no later than 24 hours prior to each match.

Thorns Communications staff will communicate Gate G open times for each match to media within 24 hours prior to each match to ensure media can plan stadium arrival in advance.

On Thorns matchday, media can pick up credentials as they enter Providence Park during the designated collection window at Gate G. Media credentials MUST be worn and visible at all times while working at Providence Park.

In addition to credentials, photographers and videographers will be handed designated field vests assigned by Thorns Communications staff and are REQUIRED to wear them while on the field.

Our policies have changed. Please read the following terms and conditions carefully.

Terms and Conditions

The following terms and conditions (these “terms and conditions” or this “agreement”) apply to all Portland Thorns Annual Memberships. The breach of these terms and conditions may result in the termination of your Annual Membership. You are responsible for the behavior of anyone to whom you provide tickets provided under this agreement.

1. Annual Membership. Upon the purchase of an Annual Membership, you are granted a revocable license which may be revoked or withdrawn at any time, as determined by us in our sole discretion. The rights and privileges associated with an Annual Membership account belong only to the account holder of record, as entered in the Portland Thorns Annual Membership account records. Our acceptance of payment for an Annual Membership from any individual or entity who is not the account holder of record for the Annual Membership does not grant any rights or privileges to that individual or entity. Any disputes regarding the identity of the holder of the account will be determined by us in our sole discretion. You agree to pay to us the applicable Annual Membership fee. All payments or deposits made in connection with an Annual Membership are non-refundable. Purchase or renewal of an Annual Membership does not guarantee rights to future purchase opportunities, nor does it include any rights with regard to any specific seat location for any future season.

2. Code of Conduct.

a. All people attending matches or events (each, an “Event”) at Providence Park or who are otherwise on Providence Park property must observe and comply with all rules, regulations, and policies of Thorns LLC (“Thorns”), the National Women’s Soccer League (“NWSL” and together with Thorns, “Management”), and PeregrineSports LLC (“Stadium”), including but not limited to the Providence ParkGuest Guide (currently located at https://www.ptfcmap.com/pages/guest-guide), all security policies and procedures (including, without limitation, prohibited items policies and clear bag policies), the terms of any tickets to the applicable Event, all other laws, rules, regulations, and policies (including, without limitation, health and safety policies), the Safety Requirements (as defined below), and all other public health and safety guidelines (collectively, and as may be amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, the “Providence Park Policies”).  All people at Providence Park must obey any reasonable direction of Thorns LLC and/or Stadium staff, security, and their authorized contractors.

We reserve the right to immediately expel and/or exclude, without refund, any person who violates the Providence Park Policies, and such expulsion or exclusion maybe for any number of Events, or a multi-year ban up to and including a lifetime ban. Violators may further be required to complete a Fan Conduct Class before they are allowed to re-enter Providence Park. You are responsible for the conduct of all people using tickets provided under this agreement. You agree to follow the Providence Park Policies and to abide by any punishments imposed in response to any violation.

3. Ticketing Policies.

a. Duration. The 2026 Annual Membership begins the date you sign and/or accept these terms and conditions and ends December 31, 2026.

b. Tickets. The Portland Thorns Annual Membership includes tickets to the following “full capacity matches” played at Providence Park during the 2026 calendar year:

•  All Portland Thorns NWSL regular season matches

•  All Portland Thorns ticketed NWSL preseason matches

•  The Portland Thorns NWSL Summer Cup matches (or similar mid-summer tournament) at Providence Park

A “full capacity match” is a match at which we are permitted by law, public health guidelines, and NWSL rule to sell or otherwise distribute tickets for 100% fan capacity at Providence Park (even if we elect not to sell or distribute 100% fan capacity). The number of Portland Thorns full capacity NWSL regular season and preseason matches to be played at Providence Park has not been determined and may vary from past and future seasons. As a result, tickets available on your account may changeover time as full capacity matches are added or removed from the schedule.

We will provide all tickets electronically through our online ticketing provider, which may require you to register for an account with our online ticketing provider and be subject to their terms and conditions and applicable privacy policies. We will not print tickets.

c.  Opportunity to Purchase Tickets. We may provide you the opportunity to purchase tickets to less than full capacity Portland Thorns matches played at Providence Park and other special events before those tickets are available to the general public. If you purchase tickets to those matches or special events through your Annual Membership account, the purchase price for those tickets less any creditor abatement then-applied to your Annual Membership account pursuant to paragraph 3.d. (Opt-Out Matches; Playoffs and Exhibitions) or paragraph 4 (“Lost” Matches; Rescheduled Matches; Seating Changes) will be charged to your account.

d. Opt-Out Matches: Playoffs and Exhibitions. Home NWSL Playoff matches and Exhibition matches are an additional cost above your Annual Membership fee. Portland Thorns home NWSL Playoff matches (but excluding the NWSL Final) and Exhibition matches (each, an “Opt-Out Match”) will be charged to your account unless you opt-out during the applicable opt-out window. We will send notice of each opt-out window to the email address associated with your account. If you pay for an Opt-Out Match that we do not qualify for or that we do not play at Providence Park at full capacity, we will not issue you a ticket and will apply your payment first to set off against any amounts you owe us, and any remaining amounts will be applied (in order of priority) to: (i) amounts owing for the purchase of tickets pursuant to paragraph 3.c. (Opportunity to Purchase Tickets), and (ii) the payment on your Annual Membership fee for the next NWSL season. Playoff and Exhibition match credits are non-transferable and may not be redeemed for cash or a refund applied to a payment card.

e. Payment Default. If any payments (including any scheduled payments due under a payment plan) are past due by more than 14 days, your Annual Membership may be suspended or revoked, at our discretion at anytime, along with renewal rights for future seasons.

f.  Sit/Stand Rules in Sections. The majority opinion in each stadium section governs whether the section is a seated or standing section. The following are sections that traditionally stand: General Admission. The following are traditionally seated sections: 92-99,101-102,109-123, 202, 209-211, 215-221, SD1-SD6, C1-C5, East Vista, Toyota Terrace, and Tanner Ridge.

g. Ticket Fraud. When using digital tickets, a screenshot of a barcode or a printed picture of a barcode are not valid tickets for admittance to Providence Park. There have been a growing number of cases involving tickets being presented at the gate that are not valid digital tickets. Some are innocent mistakes. Unfortunately, some are cases of fraud. I four Ticket Department determines that fraud has taken place, the following penalties will apply:

•    First Offense – $100 fee

•    Second Offense – Revocation of Annual Membership and ban from any future ticket purchases.

h. Account Transfers. Annual Membership accounts are not transferrable. However, we may provide you with the opportunity to transfer your fully-paid Annual Membership account during an account transfer window, at a fee determined by us in our sole discretion.  We will send notice of the transfer window and applicable fee to the email address associated with your account.

4.  “Lost” Matches; Rescheduled Matches; Seating Changes. Dates and times of matches are subject to change and matches are subject to cancellation. If the Portland Thorns do not play a scheduled NWSL regular season home match at Providence Park (and such match was not rescheduled) or if a scheduled Portland Thorns NWSL regular season home match is not a full capacity match, we will provide you an abatement. We will not provide an abatement or refund if any ticketed pre-season matches are cancelled, relocated, or are not full capacity matches or if no NWSL Summer Cup matches are played at Providence Park or are not full capacity matches. We will determine the abatement amount at the end of the NWSL regular season. Your abatement will be equal to the price of your 2026 Annual Membership less the fair value of the Portland Thorns full capacity matches played atProvidence Park in 2026. The fair value of the full capacity matches will be determined by us in our sole discretion. The abatement will be applied first to set off against amounts you owe us, and any remaining amounts will be applied (in order of priority) to: (i) amounts owing for the purchase of tickets pursuant to paragraph 3.c. (Opportunity to Purchase Tickets), and (ii)  the payment on your Annual Membership fee for the next NWSL season. Abatements are non-transferable and may not be redeemed for cash or a refund applied to a payment card. The abatement described in this paragraph and the credits described in paragraph 3.d. (Opt-Out Matches; Playoffs and Exhibitions) are your sole and exclusive remedy for “lost” matches and this agreement supersedes any refund or credit terms and conditions that may be included on digital tickets and ticket backs to printed tickets. We will not issue refunds for “lost”matches. Postponed or rescheduled matches do not entitle the account holder to an abatement or credit. If a full capacity match is postponed or rescheduled, your valid, unused, issued ticket for the match will be honored for the new match date, time, and/or opponent if a full capacity match. If your seat is temporarily or permanently removed, unavailable, or relocated, we will make a reasonable attempt to relocate you to a comparable seat, in the same ticket price code, where available, which may not be in the same section, row, or part of the stadium.

a. Duration. The 2025 Annual Membership begins the date you sign and/or accept these terms and conditions and ends December 31, 2025.

b. Tickets. The Portland Thorns Annual Membership includes tickets to the following “full capacity matches” played at Providence Park during the 2025 calendar year:

•  All Portland Thorns NWSL regular season matches

•  All Portland Thorns ticketed NWSL preseason matches

•  The first two (2) Portland Thorns NWSL Summer Cup matches (or similar mid-summer tournament) at Providence Park

A “full capacity match” is a match at which we are permitted by law, public health guidelines, and NWSL rule to sell or otherwise distribute tickets for 100% fan capacity at Providence Park (even if we elect not to sell or distribute 100% fan capacity). The number of Portland Thorns full capacity NWSL regular season and preseason matches to be played at Providence Park has not been determined and may vary from past and future seasons. As a result, tickets available on your account may changeover time as full capacity matches are added or removed from the schedule.

We will provide all tickets electronically through our online ticketing provider, which may require you to register for an account with our online ticketing provider and be subject to their terms and conditions and applicable privacy policies. We will not print tickets.

c.  Opportunity to Purchase Tickets. We may provide you the opportunity to purchase tickets to less than full capacity Portland Thorns matches played at Providence Park and other special events before those tickets are available to the general public. If you purchase tickets to those matches or special events through your Annual Membership account, the purchase price for those tickets less any creditor abatement then-applied to your Annual Membership account pursuant to paragraph 3.d. (Opt-Out Matches; Playoffs and Exhibitions) or paragraph 4 (“Lost” Matches; Rescheduled Matches; Seating Changes) will be charged to your account.

d. Opt-Out Matches: Playoffs and Exhibitions. Home NWSL Playoff matches and Exhibition matches are an additional cost above your Annual Membership fee. Portland Thorns home NWSL Playoff matches (but excluding the NWSL Final) and Exhibition matches (each, an “Opt-Out Match”) will be charged to your account unless you opt-out during the applicable opt-out window. We will send notice of each opt-out window to the email address associated with your account. If you pay for an Opt-Out Match that we do not qualify for or that we do not play at Providence Park at full capacity, we will not issue you a ticket and will apply your payment first to set off against any amounts you owe us, and any remaining amounts will be applied (in order of priority) to: (i) amounts owing for the purchase of tickets pursuant to paragraph 3.c. (Opportunity to Purchase Tickets), and (ii) the payment on your Annual Membership fee for the next NWSL season. Playoff and Exhibition match credits are non-transferable and may not be redeemed for cash or a refund applied to a payment card.

e. Payment Default. If any payments (including any scheduled payments due under a payment plan) are past due by more than 14 days, your Annual Membership may be suspended or revoked, at our discretion at anytime, along with renewal rights for future seasons.

f.  Sit/Stand Rules in Sections. The majority opinion in each stadium section governs whether the section is a seated or standing section. The following are sections that traditionally stand: General Admission. The following are traditionally seated sections: 92-99,101-102,109-123, 202, 209-211, 215-221, SD1-SD6, C1-C5, East Vista, Toyota Terrace, and Tanner Ridge.

g. Ticket Fraud. When using digital tickets, a screenshot of a barcode or a printed picture of a barcode are not valid tickets for admittance to Providence Park. There have been a growing number of cases involving tickets being presented at the gate that are not valid digital tickets. Some are innocent mistakes. Unfortunately, some are cases of fraud. I four Ticket Department determines that fraud has taken place, the following penalties will apply:

•    First Offense – $100 fee

•    Second Offense – Revocation of Annual Membership and ban from any future ticket purchases.

h. Account Transfers. Annual Membership accounts are not transferrable. However, we may provide you with the opportunity to transfer your fully-paid Annual Membership account during an account transfer window, at a fee determined by us in our sole discretion.  We will send notice of the transfer window and applicable fee to the email address associated with your account.

4.  “Lost” Matches; Rescheduled Matches; Seating Changes. Dates and times of matches are subject to change and matches are subject to cancellation. If the Portland Thorns do not play a scheduled NWSL regular season home match at Providence Park (and such match was not rescheduled) or if a scheduled Portland Thorns NWSL regular season home match is not a full capacity match, we will provide you an abatement. We will not provide an abatement or refund if any ticketed pre-season matches are cancelled, relocated, or are not full capacity matches or if no NWSL Summer Cup matches are played at Providence Park or are not full capacity matches. We will determine the abatement amount at the end of the NWSL regular season. Your abatement will be equal to the price of your 2025 Annual Membership less the fair value of the Portland Thorns full capacity matches played atProvidence Park in 2025. The fair value of the full capacity matches will be determined by us in our sole discretion. The abatement will be applied first to set off against amounts you owe us, and any remaining amounts will be applied (in order of priority) to: (i) amounts owing for the purchase of tickets pursuant to paragraph 3.c. (Opportunity to Purchase Tickets), and (ii)  the payment on your Annual Membership fee for the next NWSL season. Abatements are non-transferable and may not be redeemed for cash or a refund applied to a payment card. The abatement described in this paragraph and the credits described in paragraph 3.d. (Opt-Out Matches; Playoffs and Exhibitions) are your sole and exclusive remedy for “lost” matches and this agreement supersedes any refund or credit terms and conditions that may be included on digital tickets and ticket backs to printed tickets. We will not issue refunds for “lost”matches. Postponed or rescheduled matches do not entitle the account holder to an abatement or credit. If a full capacity match is postponed or rescheduled, your valid, unused, issued ticket for the match will be honored for the new match date, time, and/or opponent if a full capacity match. If your seat is temporarily or permanently removed, unavailable, or relocated, we will make a reasonable attempt to relocate you to a comparable seat, in the same ticket price code, where available, which may not be in the same section, row, or part of the stadium.
