Colorado Rapids Playoff Tickets

Colorado Rapids Playoff History

The Colorado Rapids are one of the founding MLS teams, and their first playoff appearance came in the second MLS season in 1997. The Rapids finished last in the league’s first season, but they had a phenomenal second season advancing all the way to the MLS Cup Final. They faced stiff competition in the final as they played 1996 MLS Cup champions D.C. United in the nation’s capital. In a rain-soaked final, D.C. United went up 2-0 halfway through the second half. The Rapids scrambled to come back, and Adrian Paz scored a goal for the Colorado side, but in the end D.C. United prevailed and lifted their second championship trophy.

The Rapids then suffered three consecutive quarterfinal exits and missed the playoffs in 2001. They made a run to the 2002 semifinals before losing 5-0 over two games to the LA Galaxy. From 2003-2006, the team made the playoffs all four seasons, but lost in the quarterfinals twice and the semifinals twice. The Rapids then faced a playoff drought, failing to make the playoffs three seasons in a row. They followed this up with the most historic season in the club’s history in 2010.

The 2010 season is one the Rapids faithful will always remember and will go down in Colorado sports history. In the MLS Cup quarterfinals, it took an 84th minute goal from Conor Casey and a 5-4 penalty shootout victory for the Rapids to overcome the Columbus Crew. In the semifinals, a Kosuke Kimura goal and stalwart defense propelled the Rapids to the coveted MLS Cup Final.

The Rapids faced FC Dallas in the championship match played in Toronto, Canada. Dallas striker David Ferreira put his side ahead with a 35th minute strike. In a 57th minute goal line scramble, Conor Casey levelled the score by poking the ball into the net while sitting down. The game stayed level and went into extra time. In the 107th Macoumba Kandji made the decisive attack for the Rapids from the right wing. After a step over to get past his defender, Kandji pushed the ball toward goal and FC Dallas defender George John accidentally put the ball in his own net. The Rapids were able to keep Dallas’s attack at bay and lift their first MLS Cup trophy.

What makes Colorado Rapids postseason games special for fans?

Buying Colorado Rapids postseason tickets isn’t just about attending another game—it’s about experiencing something bigger. Here’s what makes postseason special compared to the regular season, and why it’s worth securing tickets early:

• Higher stakes and intensity: Postseason Colorado Rapids games are when every action counts. The pressure is on, the matchups more meaningful, and the atmosphere electric. If you want to see critical plays, clutch moments, and possibly history being made, this is where it happens.

• Scarcity and urgency: There are fewer postseason games, and demand shoots up fast. Premium seats fill up quickly. Buying tickets early means better choice in seating, avoiding inflated resale prices, and locking in your spot before the buzz drives them higher.

• Exclusive perks and priority: Ticket holders often get extras that regular-season attendees don’t always get: priority access to purchase playoff tickets (especially if you’re a season-ticket or membership holder), exclusive merchandise, special events, themed game nights, or upgraded amenities (parking, entrance, etc.).

• Memorable atmosphere and fan energy: The crowd is more invested, the media presence greater, and the tension more palpable. Postseason Colorado Rapids games tend to be more electric—fans are louder, anticipation is higher, and the emotional payoff is bigger.

• Opportunity to witness defining moments: These are the Colorado Rapids fans talk about for years. Comebacks, championships, career highlights—postseason is when legacies are built. If you want to be there for those moments, this is your chance.

• Better value in some cases: Even though the tickets might cost more, when balanced against what you get (intensity, perks, memorable experience), many fans find postseason Colorado Rapids tickets fetch greater value per dollar compared to regular season games, especially when you consider resale value or experiential payoff.

What if Colorado Rapids postseason game is rained out?
