When news filtered through that FC Cincinnati had been awarded another home game in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup, it drew a bittersweet reaction from the club's ticketing staff.

After selling over 30,000 tickets for Wednesday evening's game against local MLS rivals Columbus Crew in just two weeks, the front office members were bracing themselves for having to do it all over again for the round-of-16 match against Chicago Fire.

A nice problem to have, of course.
